Future (Ft. Drake) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fuckin' cockroaches
Muthafuckin' freebandz.
Want me to be the bad guy
Wanna play, cartel nigga

Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
Trigger by my ear
Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
I'm 'bout to cop the Porsche
Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
You leave me no choice, take em to

Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana

I take over the streets, fresh off the banana boat
I come straight from the east, where niggas split your canteloupe
You tell me what you want of me I'm coming with a gang of dope
My cigar full of loud
I'm laced up to the f-cking fo'
A Porsche Carrera, Panamera, 911
I do the whole dash, dropping all cash
Gutta to the death of me I'm sticking to the recipe
Slug, deal with Columbians, I know Sosa
All I got is my balls and my word, fuck the Roaches
Everything we do, we put Versace on the sofa's

The money got me heat, like I took a hit of coka
My life is a movie, I gotta stay focused

Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
Trigger by my ear
Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
I'm 'bout to cop the Porsche

Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
You leave me no choice, take em to
Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana

On the hood you see the Stallion
Passenger a stallion
Niggas getting nervous
I'm passing out the valium
I suggest you pop it
But please don't get too sleepy
Used to have them bitches twirkin'
Up in 400 West Peachtree
Bet ya those same hoes'll see me
Be like thats how you feeling
Used to stay up after 12
Now your worth like 12 million
Boy you did, boy you did it
You did the unexpected
I say fuck the unexpected
I just did what I projected
I swear young women are lost these days
While older women dig me
Fucking women that knew Biggie so

We really aint no biggie
It's just OVO and XO and freebandz of committee
And shout out to Toronto
Bitch I'm Tony in my city

Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
Trigger by my ear

Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
I'm 'bout to cop the Porsche
Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
You leave me no choice, take em to
Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana

Another shot of Quelo
She be comin' back to peso's
When ya blood is ya pedro, it's hard for hoes to let go
See AK's aint no bitch, nigga I'll split yo tato
Ain't nothin' 'bout me ordinary, I come with the yayo
I move like I'm odd balls, it's gon take an army
The world is mine nigga u get it if u want it

You fuckin with me you'll move to Alaska by the mornin
You want me to be the bad guy, ok its on then
Champagne spillin', crabcakes everywhere
My white bitch trippin she say aint playin' fair
I'm bout to cop a tiger and put it in the castle
Freebandz accompany it so nigga it dont matter aye

Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
Trigger by my ear
Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana
I'm 'bout to cop the Porsche
Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana




You leave me no choice, take em to
Tony Montana, Tony Montana, Tony Montana

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Tony Montana" by Future (feat. Drake) reference the main character in the classic 1983 film "Scarface." The repeated line "Tony Montana" represents the rapper's aspiration to become like the film's protagonist, who came to the U.S. as a Cuban refugee and ended up building a drug empire in Miami. The lyrics suggest that Future feels like an outsider who has turned to drug dealing as a means of survival, and he wants to be seen as a powerful figure like Tony Montana, respected and feared by others. The opening lines "Fuckin' cockroaches, Muthafuckin' freebandz" suggest that Future's success has come from a harsh and dirty lifestyle, but he takes pride in it nevertheless.


The lyrics describe Future's rise to power, his flaunting of his wealth, and his assertion of his dominance. He references his connections with Columbian drug dealers and his willingness to use violence to protect his assets. He also describes his attraction to younger women who are lost and vulnerable, and his feeling that older women respect him more. He expresses his loyalty to his record label, Freebandz, and his alliances with other artists, including Drake and the OVO and XO labels from Toronto.


Overall, "Tony Montana" portrays Future as a ruthless and ambitious character who sees himself as a kind of outlaw hero, admired for his strength and feared for his power.
