About This Track

'Hardly' sits among the more introspective moments on Monster, a track built around a deceptively simple hook that repeats its title like a mantra of retention. Future's voice carries real weight here, moving away from the album's more abrasive posturing to examine what stays with him and what he wishes he could forget. The intro sets the scene with conversational ease, grounding the song in memory and studio camaraderie before the verse proper arrives. The lyrics trace a path from street survival through material accumulation to something closer to reckoning. References to designer wear and luxury cars sit alongside admissions of substance use and the toll it takes, the repeated refrain about pain suggesting that all the trappings of success haven't quieted whatever drives him. There's a strain of gratitude running through it too, acknowledgment of the city and the people who shaped him, balanced against the weight of expectation and the distance between where he came from and where he's landed now. What emerges is a song about memory as both anchor and burden, the things you cannot shed no matter how far you travel. Future's delivery carries genuine vulnerability, the production sparse enough to let that register without sentimentality.

"Hardly" is a track by Future, from the album Monster, released 27th October 2014. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Hardly

[Intro]

I remember it was New Year's

You was in the studio when I did "Chosen One"

My nigga Double D was there

I started sayin', "Louis V chinchilla," 'cause he had the chinchilla on and shit

For real, you know what I'm sayin'?

This that Super Future, Fire Marshall Future, Future Hendrix

You know, the Wizard, you understand me?

You dig? You dig what I'm sayin', man?

[Chorus]

Hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly

Hardly, hardly forget anything

Know I hardly forget anything, you know, ayy

[Verse 1]

Gutter nigga 'til the dirt

Margiela my fur

Almost overdosin' on Percs

Wakin' up, drinkin' that syrup

Bentley Spur with the curtains

Balenciagas my proteges

I wear them shits like Michael J's

Wash the molly down with champagne

Wash the Xanny down with syrup, yeah

Hope it take away all this damn pain

Hope it take away all this damn pain

[Chorus]

Hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly

Hardly, hardly forget anything

Know I hardly forget anything, you know, ayy

[Verse 2]

Crack in the bushes, I'm tryna buy me a new '88 Cutlass Supreme

Every day hustlin', I gotta go get it

I gotta get Wu-Tang, man, gotta get cream

Long as they print it, my niggas gon' get it

All of my love, I gave it to my city

All of that game you gave me, can't forget it

All that finesse you gave me, ain't forget it

I turned the whole world up, now they wanna treat me like an outcast or somethin'

These niggas so broke, instead of go and get it, they'd rather go ask for somethin'

Remember them days I had to load it up and put on my mask for somethin'

Remember we jugged for somethin'

Remember we take for somethin', yeah, yeah

I spent three stacks on these Rick Owens, I try my best to forget it

I pour my life inside these poems, my whole soul and my spirit

I'm easily agitated, get intoxicated tryna fight the demons

Tryna find right in my wrong, hope my legacy live on

Hope my legacy live on

That's why I wrote this song

I ain't have to write this song

Future Hendrix is forever

[Chorus]

Hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly, hardly

Hardly, hardly forget anything

Know I hardly forget anything, you know
