Hard To Choose One

Future's song 'Hard To Choose One' delves into the complexities and contradictions of a life marked by success, wealth, and excess. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lifestyle that is both glamorous and tumultuous, filled with high-end fashion, luxury cars, and a constant stream of women. The recurring theme of having 'hundreds of baddies' and finding it 'hard to choose one' underscores the overwhelming abundance that comes with fame and fortune, yet also hints at a sense of emptiness or lack of fulfillment despite the material wealth.

The song also touches on Future's journey from humble beginnings to his current status. Lines like 'Made it off the streets, I came up from a crumb' highlight his rise from poverty to prosperity. This narrative of overcoming adversity is a common theme in hip-hop, serving as both a personal testament and a broader commentary on the possibilities of success for those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The mention of 'trap in the field, made a mill' on my own' further emphasizes his self-made success, achieved through hard work and resilience.

However, the song is not just a celebration of success; it also explores the darker side of this lifestyle. References to drug use, such as 'Crashed out on pills, but it's makin' me numb' and 'Rollin' off x and I can't feel my arms,' reveal the coping mechanisms employed to deal with the pressures and stresses of fame. The line 'Money and sex is bringin' me problems' encapsulates the paradox of having everything yet still facing significant challenges. Future's lyrics offer a raw and unfiltered look at the highs and lows of his life, making 'Hard To Choose One' a multifaceted exploration of modern success and its discontents.
