20 of the Best Lyrics From Future’s Self-Titled Album
After taking an unusual amount of time, by his standards, between releasing a full-length album or mixtape, Future is back again with a new long player to help raise his stock even higher than it's been over the past few years.
Future Hendrix scored a successful release with his last album, EVOL, and was still cruising off the momentum set during his monstrous breakout year in 2015, which included two platinum plaques. Now the Freebandz general is looking to put his mainstream aspirations on the back burner and service his core audience with more underground fare on his new self-titled album.
The Atlanta trap god's latest self-titled offering is an attempt to recapture the magic he made on landmark projects like Dirty Sprite and his now classic trilogy of mixtapes, Beast Mode, Monster and 56 Nights. And, after giving the album a spin, it's clear that his mission was accomplished.
Going for dolo over the album's 14 tracks, Future shows that he is a man of many moods, switching from boisterous boasts to moments of contemplation and introspection. Whether slyly referencing his fling with Larsa Pippen, NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen's wife, on "Rent Money," or reminiscing on his humble beginnings on "Might as Well," Future gives a mix of excitement and realness over production from the likes of Metro Boomin, Southside, 808 Mafia, and a slew of other elite beatsmiths.
With his new project being the hot release of the week and creating a major buzz, we've compiled 20 of the best lyrics from Future's album.

"When I Was Broke"
Future"Came out the sewer, it's stankin'/Go in the booth and I'm blankin'/Slept with my tool on the blanket/Like I'm the son of Michael/All of these haters, they're gettin' spiteful/They see my heart has been damaged/You see the whip Panoramic/You see I made it, you witnessed progression/I was talkin' like I knew I was destined"
