Future
M.Graveyard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I might fuck it all up in one night
Uh
Look at this nigga who begging and crying for mercy at the end of this pipe
Pause
I'm stopped at the light
Uh
Look at the flashing blue lights
I'm not going down tonight
No
Check my repetition, that's the definition of insanity
I'm packing up and leaving just to be the man apparently
My futures bright but is the world just ready for that clarity
Me against you niggas, it's an obvious disparity
The future seem bright yeah
Ok I'm walking to the store in search of sweets that's how it's posed to be
My dreads swang at the floor, I cut them off just for some waves at least
Some lightskin bitch keep staring at me, hoping she can get at me
I buckled under pressure, guess my momma gon be mad at me
Get her then go
That's just the thoughts that I hear on the low
Seeing you niggas start acting like hoes
Really make me stay up on all of my toes
Really wish I could just rip off my clothes
Beating on my chest just to put up a show
I am the king and you niggas should know
I AM THE KING AND YOU NIGGAS SHOULD KNOW
In "Future" by M.Graveyard, the lyrics focus on the struggles and contradictions the rapper faces as he tries to navigate a bright future filled with promise and opportunity. At the same time, he acknowledges his own potential for self-destructive behavior and reflects on the societal obstacles that he sees as potentially holding him back from reaching his full potential.
The opening lines suggest a sense of tension and self-doubt, as the rapper wonders whether he is capable of ruining his own future in a single night. The following lines depict a scene of violence and powerlessness, with the rapper observing someone begging for mercy at the end of a pipe. This may represent a conscious rejection of the cycle of violence and poverty that can trap some communities, even as he struggles to find his own path forward.
As the song continues, the rapper reflects on broader societal issues that he sees as impeding progress and change. He mentions the flashing blue lights of a police car, suggesting a looming threat of violence and racial profiling. He acknowledges a sense of repetition and insanity in the struggle for change, as well as an "obvious disparity" in power and resources between different groups.
Despite these challenges, however, the rapper maintains a sense of determination and pride. He asserts himself as the "king," confident in his own abilities and potential. The repeated line "I am the king and you niggas should know" is a call to action, urging others to recognize their own strength and potential for change.
Overall, "Future" is a complex and multifaceted song that raises important questions about power, privilege, and progress. It highlights the struggles and contradictions that can arise in the pursuit of a better future, while also acknowledging the potential for hope and resilience.
