About This Track
'Scrape' is a portrait of the drug trade told through the language of cooking. Future adopts the voice of a dealer working the stove, the repeated refrain about scraping the pot serving as both literal instruction and metaphor for the relentless extraction of profit. The production sits low and patient, letting the repetition do the work. The verses stack detail on detail: late nights on stimulants, fast cars, jewellery, the constant threat of law enforcement. Future moves between boasting and confession, the tone never quite settling into celebration. There is exhaustion beneath the bravado, the sense of someone locked into a routine that demands everything and offers only money and paranoia in return. The song treats the subject with a kind of cold clarity, neither glorifying nor moralising, simply documenting what the life sounds like from the inside.
"Scrape" is a track by Future, from the album FUTURE, released 17th February 2017. Full lyrics are available below.
