So I had this song wrong from the beginning. It is not about “drugs and bitches”. It’s about his climb to success from literally being in some of the worst and lowest times of his life. And regardless of what has been mentioned about the poor grammar, and the grammar itself, it’s actually really genius if you really listen to the words and put it all together. He’s celebrating his hard work which led to his success and wealth with the people who he’s always been close to. And he’s saying that he’s the “living proof” that regardless of where you start or where you’re at, you can be a success like him. He also talks about some of the nice expensive things he can buy as well as places he can now visit and experiences he can have now that he’s made money with his success and hard work. The “mask on, fk it mask off”, he’s trying to say that his past that he describes is still a big part of him and he either feels like it’s too much to either hide it or pretend it doesn’t exist so if others who are at the top of their success or other wealthy people don’t like it, he can’t keep a mask on and hide it or be fake about it. So much so that he “reps the set” which means he’s also representing the people closest to him that have been with him from before the game and success. It could mean what it means- a gang he’s been a part of but I also think he could also be talking about his other actual family members and friends and also- where he’s from and most especially the LIFESTYLE he had before the success, fame and wealth, which, I believe is what he really means and that’s why he talks about the drugs and drug houses, etc. to his current experiences like “calamari Wednesday”. I had this song pegged completely wrong in the beginning and I almost feel bad for that. Once I actually read the lyrics as the song was playing it immediately made sense and my opinion of it completely changed. It’s actually one of my favorite songs now and honestly very well written because it’s so much more than “Percocet Molly Percocet” and has a deeper very meaningful and definitely a very personal meaning as he is “mask off” and lets his fans in on where his life was before his hard work, rise to success and fame and the money he’s made from it that led to his life experiences of today. And maybe being somewhat pressured either to keep some sort of it hidden or unknown but ultimately he realizes that he doesn’t need to or need to be fake in any way. “Mask on, FK it, mask off”. Really really super awesome song, Future. You made a complete and devoted fan out of me with the ingeniously written song. Great job! ❤️
