Turn Your Clic Up (feat. Future)

Quavo's song 'Turn Your Clic Up (feat. Future)' is a powerful anthem that delves into themes of loyalty, empowerment, and the harsh realities of street life. The lyrics emphasize the importance of staying true to one's roots and supporting those who have been there from the beginning. Quavo and Future highlight the significance of turning up one's clique and partner, suggesting that success is not just an individual achievement but a collective effort. This notion of collective success is a recurring theme in hip-hop, where the community and brotherhood play crucial roles.

The song also touches on the struggles and triumphs of life in the streets. Lines like 'I took a loss, but you still gon' get beat' and 'How much it cost, it never been cheap' reflect the high stakes and constant challenges faced by those living this lifestyle. The repeated refrain 'All these streets need bosses' underscores the need for leadership and resilience in navigating these tough environments. Quavo and Future's verses are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors, such as 'I'm sendin' this shit like a toilet, lil nigga, so nasty, I never been flushed,' which convey their unyielding determination and grit.

Additionally, the song explores the dynamics of relationships and material success. Quavo's lines about taking his partner shopping and turning her up suggest a form of empowerment through material means, while also hinting at the complexities of these relationships. The references to luxury items like 'Phillipe water' and 'Goyard bag' serve as symbols of their success and the rewards of their hard work. However, these material gains are juxtaposed with the underlying tension and danger of their lifestyle, as seen in lines about painkillers and readiness for violence. This duality captures the essence of their reality, where success and peril coexist.
