About This Track

Future builds 'Temptation' around the friction between material ascent and moral compromise. The track pivots on its hook: a man resisting the pull of excess even as he catalogs it, drugs keeping him stable, wealth arriving without credentials. Producer Tay Keith anchors the production whilst Future and featured vocalist Lil Juice trade verses that blur boasting with confession, the speaker caught between gratitude for escape from poverty and the damage that escape has wrought. The song's real subject is not riches but the cost of reaching them. Future moves through the standard lexicon of trap prosperity, watches, jets, women, but the post-chorus admission cuts against the grain: he's fighting temptation, not surrendering to it. That tension, unresolved, is what makes the track grip.

"Temptation" is a track by Future, from the album Future Hndrxx Presents: The WIZRD, released 18th January 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Temptation

[Intro: Future & Lil Juice]

Freebandz

Yeah

I'm the richest nigga out my city if you ain't know

These hoes can hop on Spirit Airlines about it

(Tay Keith, fuck these niggas up)

I made it finessin', I turned into somethin' from nothin', yeah

Made it through poverty, I'm the minority, you know my story

Hop on the jet off my property, I fly away

Fly, fly, fly away, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Copped me a presi', yeah, yeah

Straight out the trenches, yeah, yeah

My niggas came with me, yeah, yeah

The riches, the riches, the riches, yeah

Richest nigga out Zone 6, yeah

All of these hoes came with it, yeah

Audemars Piguets came with it, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

I was tryna fight temptation, yeah

Top gone, it's on vacation, yeah

I'm not tryin' to hurt nobody

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

Count up the hundreds, I promise some patience

Give you some game, that's slow motivation

We need the gas straight in the basement

Switch up the swag, switch up the bag

Niggas, they jockin' my swag 'cause it's fashion

I do it bigger than niggas imagined

Heard that bitch makin' up rumors

She gave more head than a tumor

And I got facts, I can prove it, yeah, yeah, yeah

I got real rich and ain't get no diploma

She think it's somethin' got to do with my mama

Well I can't love her, like she need me

That's what you get when you thinkin' I'm average

Now I wake up and I fuck on a bad bitch

Drugs got me savage

[Bridge]

It's so hard, it's so hard, these Perkys keep me sane

All my dawgs, all my dawgs, found 'em locked up in the cage

We gettin' paid, we so paid, move them bricks, then move on

Switch them bags, switch them bags, then move on, then move on

[Chorus]

Copped me a presi', yeah, yeah

Straight out the trenches, yeah, yeah

My niggas came with me, yeah, yeah

The riches, the riches, the riches, yeah

Richest nigga out Zone 6, yeah

All of these hoes came with it, yeah

Audemars Piguets came with it, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

I was tryna fight temptation, yeah

Top gone, it's on vacation, yeah

I'm not tryin' to hurt nobody

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

Car full of bullets, ain't findin' no shooter

That's what you get when you niggas delusional

I remember when they thought I was average

Now I wake up and I fuck on a bad bitch

[Outro]

I tried to fight temptations, yeah

Riches on riches on riches on riches on riches...

And I can't lie, you... Future had the first bust down Richard Mille I had seen, by far

(Ayy what it do, ayy what it do)

The first one

(Ayy, what it do)
