Songfacts®:

  • The first single from Future's Beast Mode 16 mixtape finds him linking up with frequent collaborator Drake. During the Zaytoven-produced track, both rappers assert they are at the top.
  • Future reflects on how his success and wealth are the fruits of hard work

    Mexicano, working like I'm Mexicano
    New persona, we're moving on from Ferragamo
    Get the llama, I party with the real Madonna
    Beat the odds, do numbers and remain humble
  • Drake takes the second verse, where he shares his love for his new Grigio Titans 2016 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster, while insisting he'll never forget about his homies.

    Lambo come alive man, I'm used to this
    No one looks surprised cause we used to this
    I'ma make sure that we get used to this
    Treat my brother's kids like they one of my kids
  • The Eif Rivera directed video was partially shot during Future and Drake's sold out tour. It shows the pair portraying soccer coaches flanked by (naturally, stunningly beautiful) female players warming up before a match. Both rappers sport the number 16 on their backs, a reference not only to the mixtape but also Drake's own song "Summer Sixteen."
