After releasing a series of moderately successful mixtapes between 2010 and 2011, Future signed a major label deal with Epic Records and fellow American rapper Rocko's A1 Recordings, which helped launch his own label imprint Freebandz. Future subsequently began working on his debut studio album "Pluto," and in April 2012 released the album to positive reviews. The album spawned five singles, all of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was later re-released in November, as "Pluto 3D." His second studio album "Honest," was released on April 22, 2014, and is also performing with his group Freeband Gang. He released his highly anticipated third studio album, "DS2," on July 16, 2015. The Atlanta rapper also released several mixtapes during 2015, "Beast Mode" in January, "56 Nights" in March, and "What a Time to Be Alive (with Drake)" in September. Future released "Purple Reign" in January 2016. The 13-track mixtape was executive produced by Metro Boomin and DJ Esco, with additional production from Southside, Zaytoven, and more.

Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Peter Piper picker, I never kept her
Peter Piper pepper, we never kept 'em
Yeah
I got more bracelets on than you got chains, bro
Me and my dawg's dope came in on the same boat
Right out the ghetto, too rap for the letto, yeah
Caught my first body out in Bentley Coupe, yeah
Ten real murders from my Migos, yeah
Rock the Cuban link, top of my knees (yeah, yeah)
Ostrich seats, bite your sleeves (yeah, yeah)
Trippin', I'm like a referee up with these gators (yeah)
Trip on my spot, it was no more basic cable (yeah)
I mixed some Act with some yellow Tuss like a Laker (yeah)
Three shot 'em like a mothafuckin' Pacer (Southside, yeah, yeah)
Never lose like my mothafuckin' McGregor (Yeah)
Inside the whips come red like ketchurp (Yeah)
Count this money up with glasses like a mixer (Yeah)
Codeine laboratory like I'm Dexter (Yeah)
Bad yellow skin, Philippine
Envious and gin never win
Chrome, hard lens, help me sin
Hit him in his back, South Central
Made a lot of M's right from sinnin'
Ready to smoke the pen by my women
I prefer the shrimp, tired of chicken
Ever saw me limp? That's
I got more rings than you got hoes, bro
I bought my BM a Bentley with the wings, yeah
I let my kids fly private I'm Supreme, yeah
Real killers move in silent, take that clean batch, yeah
I want the one with the real hair
I'm out the jungle, a real bear
Put a chinchilla on anywhere
I'm out that zoo, zoo, zoo
I'm a gorilla, ape, nigga, ain't ate
Ain't fantasize until all you niggas in yellow tape, yeah
'Cause these niggas, they ain't loyal, they been chillin' with the ops
Doe Boy came in that 450 Spyder straight from off the block
Had to throw my crack a few times, don't fuck around with no cop
Check on Google, I'm out my noodle
I feed shrimps to all my shooters
Ayy my bitch a bad bitch, so I turned her to a recruiter
I'm a real assassin, quarter M for a back end
Shawty got real sassy when I gave her that Patek
If I bust it down today she'll never go back average
So much Chanel I might as well open up my own store
Used to use these belts as pillows, sleepin' on floors
Original BMG nigga, yeah the Feds know
I'm the richest nigga came from Lil' Mexico
If you ever catch me limpin', 'cause I'm a pimp
Chrome helps me see the haters, I can't see 'em
Gotta keep 10 mil' stashed under my hoe's bed
And I gotta keep some ice like a meth head
The lyrics of Future's song "Three" feature a series of braggadocious verses, in which the rapper boasts of his wealth, fame, and criminal past. The opening lines make reference to the traditional children's rhyme "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers," but subvert it to indicate his promiscuity with women. The rest of the song is a series of dense verses articulated at breakneck speed, filled with references to luxury brands (such as Cuban link chains and Patek Philippe watches) and illegal activities (including drug dealing and murder).
Throughout the song, Future emphasizes his status as a self-made man who has risen from humble origins. He makes reference to "the ghetto" and the "block," and boasts about being "the richest nigga from Lil' Mexico" - a reference to his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, and his Mexican heritage. At the same time, he revels in his extravagant lifestyle, with references to private jets, ostrich seats, and shrimp dinners.
Overall, "Three" is a typical example of Future's distinctive sound, marked by his use of autotune and his gruff, drawling delivery. He stands out from other hip-hop artists in his willingness to be vulnerable and emotional in his lyrics, but "Three" is more of a straightforward celebration of his excess and wealth.
