About This Track

Future moves through 'Rotation' with the swagger of someone who has already won. The track is built on a simple, repeating premise: money, women, and the paranoia that comes with both. He cycles through images of fresh purchases (a new Mercedes on a Monday), pharmaceutical numbness, and the kind of casual cruelty that wealth permits, all delivered in his characteristic drawl, which flattens boasts into something closer to reportage. The chorus locks onto a single metaphor, the idea of putting someone "on rotation" the way you might cycle through playlists or possessions. It is the song's only real conceit, and Future milks it without strain. Verses pile on detail: contractors building pools, jewelry kept in bank vaults, the weight of paranoia that makes him keep a tool everywhere. There is no arc here, no redemption or reckoning. 'Rotation' is a snapshot of a particular kind of excess, delivered with enough specificity that it avoids the flatness of pure braggadocio.

"Rotation" is a track by Future, from the album DS2 (Deluxe), released 17th July 2015. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Rotation

[Intro]

But you already know I got it, you know what I'm sayin'

Lil' Mexico, what's poppin'?

THE WIZRD, top shotta

[Chorus]

I had to spank lil' shawty with my jeans on

And I had my pistol in my pocket

Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious

Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious

I bought all the sodas at the gas station

I just put a famous bitch on rotation

I just put that famous bitch on rotation

I just put lil' shawty on probation

[Verse 1]

Paranoid, pull in the garage, one in the head

I'm on hydroponic, nigga, full of bars and that red

I'm in camouflage and I fell in love with this bread

I don't ordinary no type of nigga, I don't beg

I bet I keep that tool on me everywhere

Spent a couple mill' on my bitch last year

I just put a new whip on the E-way

Then I ran my bands back up like a relay

Certified junkie

I just popped the tag on the Benz, it was Monday

I just keep that bag on me now, at least a 100

I be on them Xans and that Molly, I ain't frontin'

[Chorus]

I had to spank lil' shawty with my jeans on

And I had my pistol in my pocket

Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious

Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious

I bought all the sodas at the gas station

I just put a famous bitch on rotation

I just put that famous bitch on rotation

I just put lil' shawty on probation

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I fell asleep with that paper

Bro, I can't tell you 'bout no capers

I just took the middle man off

I go Corleone 'bout the check

I was getting dome with a Tech

Bitch, you ain't gon' get no extra points pulling no faggot move

I just called my contractor and told him, "Build another pool"

One sitt in the back, one by the living room

I keep all my jewelry at the bank now

Alexander McQueen is therapeutic

Bitch, I'm getting the same money as Cam Newton

Ask me how it feel to be a millionare

[Chorus]

I had to spank lil' shawty with my jeans on

And I had my pistol in my pocket

Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious

Can't trust none of these bitches, gotta be cautious

I bought all the sodas at the gas station

I just put a famous bitch on rotation

I just put that famous bitch on rotation

I just put lil' shawty on probation
