Claustrophobic (feat. Metro Boomin)

Future's 'Claustrophobic (feat. Metro Boomin)' is a track that delves into the themes of wealth, success, and the need for space—both literally and figuratively. The song begins with a spoken word intro that dismisses the efforts of other rappers as inferior and unoriginal. This sets the stage for Future to differentiate himself from the rest, asserting his dominance in the rap game.

The chorus of the song uses the metaphor of claustrophobia to describe Future's need for more space as a result of his accumulating wealth. He talks about buying bigger mansions, luxury cars like Maybachs and Phantoms, and ensuring his Ferrari is a convertible—all to avoid the feeling of being confined. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the suffocating nature of fame and the constant need to expand one's horizons to stay ahead in the industry.

The verses further elaborate on Future's lavish lifestyle, mentioning designer clothes, expensive watches, and his success in the music industry. He also references his past involvement in drug dealing, suggesting that his current success is a result of his hard work and resilience. The song's braggadocio is a common trope in hip-hop, serving as a means for the artist to assert their status and celebrate their achievements. The repeated line 'Had to buy another mansion, I'm gettin' claustrophobic' becomes a powerful refrain that encapsulates the excess and expansiveness of Future's lifestyle.
