How It Was - Intellectual

On several occasions Future has stated that he’s is an astronaut – Future uses this a theme in his music. He has a mixtape titled Astronaut Status and his debut studio album titled Pluto. Also, he has a song called “Space Cadets”, on which he also calls himself a rockstar (see next line).

Future uses this theme/metaphor to describe how high he is – always influenced by drugs.

Having the mentality of a drug dealer who wants to get rich and win

Make no mistake, Future has driven a lot of miles in his collection of Mercedes-Benz automobiles. However he has grown tired of such vehicles; and is in need of a more luxurious sport car brand, which consists of the more expensive Italian Maserati.

The rapper DMX commonly refers to himself as “the dog”. Future shouts him out after bringing up dog food, a slang term for heroin .

Future is saying that he was using all of the cooking equipment in his baby mama’s crib for his drug lab operation. Because he was running the operation out of his home, she got to see him make a lot of money firsthand.

Future is going to tell us about his life before success. When he was dealing drugs and broke, though with a net-worth of $3,500,000 (and increasing rapidly) it’s unlikely he’ll ever be broke again.

He was shot as a teenager:

When I was around 14 or 15, I got into the streets heavy and I got shot in my right hand. When I got shot, I stopped playing basketball and went harder hustling.

Future was born on November the 20th.

This is a cusp date for Scorpios and Sagittarius, hence why he mentioned all the ruling planets that he owns. It is also symbolism that he can get so high on substances he’ll enter various planets.

Were You Born Between Signs - On Cusp? This Is What It Means For You — Understanding Compassion

Many of us relate our personalities and preferences according to our Zodiac signs. Yet if you are born on the edge - on the cusp, sometimes our sign is one of transition rather than completely belonging to one or the other. If you are born on 21st of December are you Sagittarius or are you Capricorn?

Future doesn’t discriminate when it comes to picking women.

This line is an analogy for the rapper, Future. His name is what he believes himself to be, the future of hip/hop and rap. Similar to this, he lists these individuals Michael J Fox, George Jetson and Elroyer.

MJF starred in the hit movie(s) Back to the Future; With the help of a wacky scientist, a young teen travels back to 1955 in a Delorean turned time-machine. Once there, he meets his parents, still teenagers, but his presence throws things out-of-whack and he must ensure they fall in love and get married or else he’ll never come to exist.
(USA).

George Jetson was the father of the Jetsons in the cartoon classic. The Jetsons is an American animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera, originally airing in primetime from 1962-1963, then later as part of the weekday/weekend morning programming block called The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, until 1987.

Elroy is the younger of the two children in the Jetson family. He is highly intelligent and an expert in all space sciences.

Future uses this witty analogy of Futuristic movies/tv shows to elaborate who he is: The Future.

This is referring to cocaine. “Whip it” means he’s freebasing it (making crack cocaine) to “flip it” turn profit from it.

Future cleverly plays on the homophone “racks”. “Racks” refer to thousand dollar stacks of money, but in the context of tennis, racks could also refer to tennis rackets. Future clarifies that he’s not referring to the sports equipment, but rather flexing his wealth.
