About This Track
Released in 2015 on 'DS2 (Deluxe)', 'Stick Talk' finds Future deep in the paranoid luxury of Atlanta trap, the production by Joshua Howard Luellen built around skeletal hi-hats and a bass line that feels like a locked door. The hook loops the phrase "stick talk" and "lick talk" into a mantra, slang for firearms and robberies delivered with the flat affect of someone who has stopped distinguishing between threat and routine. Future raps about cash splurges on new toys, syrup habits, and a neighbourhood under investigation, the verses moving between boast and confession without pausing to separate the two.
The lyrics catalogue excess and violence in equal measure, from Hennessy shots to close-range confrontations, the imagery graphic but rendered in a drawl that drains it of drama. Future's delivery stays numb even as the subject matter escalates, the vocal performance less interested in shock value than in documenting a lifestyle where paranoia and recklessness have become indistinguishable. The track served as one of three singles from the album, its title phrase entering the lexicon as shorthand for a particular strain of trap bravado.
"Stick Talk" is a track by Future, from the album DS2 (Deluxe), released 1st February 2015. Full lyrics are available below.
