Tickets. Dates. What’s the story?Explore the tour About This Track
Future celebrates the intoxicating rush of wealth and the psychological shift that comes with escaping poverty. 'Flip' uses the concept of transformation to chart his complete departure from street life into luxury, with each repetition of the title word marking another layer of ascent. The production sits tight and propulsive, letting Future's boasts land with the weight of fact rather than aspiration. The chorus anchors itself in material specificity: Range Rovers with captain seats, Maybachs, diamonds that catch no light. Future stacks these details not as mere inventory but as proof of passage, each acquisition a marker of distance travelled. His delivery alternates between measured assertion and rapid-fire interrogation, the latter turning the verse into something closer to a sermon, each "what you tellin' me?" a rhetorical wall that admits no answer.
"Flip" is a track by Future, from the album FUTURE, released 17th February 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

A guide to the April 2024 exchange behind Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’, from ‘Like That’ and J. Cole’s withdrawal to Drake’s ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’.

Rockstar has confirmed a dynamic score and an evolved in-game radio system for ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’, while keeping the mechanics under wraps.

The liquid-filled limited edition sold out in under an hour, with resale listings now reaching more than four times its £108.99 original price.

A 34-track soundtrack featuring Travis Scott, Yung Lean, Keith Richards and more will arrive alongside ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ on 19th November.

A wave of GTA VI-styled social posts has prompted soundtrack speculation, but the publicly reported confirmation list is far shorter.

Spotify billboards using the same visual language as a wave of musician posts have prompted speculation about a 'GTA 6' campaign, though neither Spotify nor Rockstar has confirmed a partnership.
