Monster

Future's song 'Monster' delves into the gritty and often unsettling aspects of his lifestyle, painting a vivid picture of excess, distrust, and survival in a harsh environment. The lyrics are raw and unfiltered, reflecting a world where indulgence in drugs, casual relationships, and violence are commonplace. The opening lines set the tone, with Future describing his associates as 'junkies' who always have money, and a woman as a 'monkey,' indicating a lack of respect and a transactional view of relationships.

The song's chorus, 'I'm a monster on these hoes, I'mma monster,' underscores Future's self-perception as a dominant, almost predatory figure. He boasts about his fearlessness and his ability to manipulate and control those around him, including women who 'switch' their sexual preferences to please him. This portrayal of himself as a 'monster' suggests a deep-seated cynicism and a sense of detachment from conventional moral standards.

Throughout the song, Future references various elements of street life, such as drug dealing ('I serve my auntie that raw'), gambling, and violence. He also touches on themes of betrayal and mistrust, particularly towards women, whom he repeatedly states he only uses for sex. The repeated line 'I don't be trustin' these hoes, I just be smashin' these hoes' highlights his jaded view of relationships and his focus on self-gratification. The song's dark, almost nihilistic tone is further emphasized by references to horror figures like Freddie Kruger, reinforcing the idea that Future sees himself as a menacing, unstoppable force in his world.
