Lyrics for Album: FUTURE
Call it how it is
Hendrix
I promise, I swear, I swear
You heard, spit it, yo
Percocets (ya), molly, Percocets (Percocets)
Percocets (ya), molly, Percocets (Percocets)
Rep the set (yee), gotta rep the set (gang, gang)
Chase a check (chase it), never chase a bitch
(Don't chase no bitches)
Mask on, fuck it, mask off (mask)
Mask on, fuck it, mask off (mask)
Percocets ('cets), molly, Percocets (Percocets)
Chase a check (chase it), never chase a bitch (don't chase no bitches)
Two cups (cup), toast up with the gang (gang, gang)
From food stamps to a whole 'nother domain, ya
Out the bottom (ye), I'm the livin' proof (super)
Ain't compromisin', half a million on the coupe (gang, gang)
Drug houses (where), lookin' like Peru (woah, woah, woah)
Graduated, I was overdue (I'm on due)
Pink molly (molly), I can barely move (barely move)
Ask about me ('bout me), I'm gon' bust a move
Rick James (James), 33 chains (33)
Ocean air (air), cruisin' Biscayne
Top off (ya), that's a liability (big foreigns)
Hit the gas (gas), boostin' my adrenaline (big foreigns)
Percocets (ye), molly, Percocets (big foreigns)
Percocets (ye), molly, Percocets (big foreigns)
Rep the set (ye), gotta rep the set (gang, gang)
Chase a check (chase it) (ye), never chase a bitch (don't chase no bitches)
(Big foreigns)
Mask on (ye), fuck it, mask off (mask) (big foreigns)
Mask on (ye), fuck it, mask off (mask) (big foreigns)
Percocets (ye), molly, Percocets (big foreigns)
Chase a check (chase it) (ye, ye), never chase a bitch
(Don't chase no bitches)
Four-door Maybach (four-door), I drive anything (ye)
Buy my Range (ye), make 'em go insane (ye)
(Oh my Lord, praise him be)
My guillotine, drank promethazine (drank prometh')
TEC and beams (ya), go to those extremes (what's good, what's good)
Parliament (parliament), calamari Wednesday (ya)
Parlay in Vegas, we was in attendance (what's good, what's good)
Before the business (yeah), Theodore lenses
Theo-Dur prescriptions (ya), focus on the missions (fo' my)
Intermission (hol' up), never take a break (we can pull up)
Switch states, touch down, foreign plates (speech)
Ain't no way, ain't no fuckin' way (no)
We call the play, we didn't come to play (no)
Rob the bank, we gon' rob the game (Gang)
They gang, we gang (gang)
But they are not the same (Freebandz)
Percocets (ye), molly, Percocets (big foreigns)
Percocets (ye), molly, Percocets (big foreigns)
Rep the set (ye), gotta rep the set (gang, gang)
Chase a check (chase it), never chase a bitch (don't chase no bitches)
(Big foreigns)
Mask on (ye), fuck it, mask off (big foreigns)
Mask on (ye), fuck it, mask off (big foreigns)
Percocets (ye), molly, Percocets (big foreigns)
Chase a check (chase it) (ye, ye), never chase a bitch
(Don't chase no bitches)
Mask on, fuck it, mask off
Mask on, fuck it, mask off
Mask on, fuck it, mask off
Gas gone, never nod off
(Cold chills, prison cells)
(Oh my Lord, praise him be) |
Mask Off (Feat. Kendrick Lamar) (Remix)
"Mask Off" is one of the most iconic rap songs of the 2010s, and the remix featuring Kendrick Lamar only added to its legend. The original track, by Future, appeared on his eponymous fifth studio album in 2017, and it was later released as the second single after initially charting as an album track. The remix, featuring Kendrick Lamar, was released on 23 May 2017, following a joint performance of the song at the Coachella Festival. The song is built around a sample of "Prison Song," written and produced by Tommy Butler and sung by Carlton Williams, released in 1976. The sample gives the track a haunting, cinematic quality, and it is the perfect backdrop for Future's lyrics about drug use and addiction. The opening line, "Percocets, Molly, Percocets," became one of the most recognisable hooks in modern rap, a blunt confession of the substances that have defined his life. The remix adds a new dimension to the song. Kendrick Lamar's verse is a sharp, politically charged addition, and it transforms the track into something more than just a party anthem. Lamar had been performing live covers of "Mask Off" at every show on his Damn Tour, and his verse on the remix captures the same energy. The remix was mixed by engineer Alex Tumay, and it quickly became the definitive version of the song for many fans. "Mask Off" was a massive commercial success. It peaked at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Future's first top-five single, and it charted in the top ten in New Zealand, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Canada, and France. It has since been certified nine times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, a testament to its enduring popularity. For a reviewer, "Mask Off" is a reminder of the power of a great hook and a great sample. The song is simple, but it is also incredibly effective, and the remix with Kendrick Lamar elevated it to another level. It is a song about the masks people wear, about the drugs that help them cope, and about the difficulty of taking the mask off and facing reality. It is a classic of modern rap, and it deserves its place in the canon. |
