Future is living up to his name and There ainâ€™t no way around it.

Long before Drake hopped on Tony Montana and Made it a trending topic. The hommie
been trending down south. Last month in Newnan, GA, the Atlanta rapper performed
â€œ[_Ainâ€™t No Way Around It_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fMSqOK-D3E)â€, 
a stand out song from the recently-released True Story mixtape. And the whole club
was reciting the song word for word. 1 of my personal favorites is[_ Stand_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBXOHQCiqjM&feature=related)
ft [_@1YoungScooter_](http://twitter.com/1youngscooter) that the hommie [_Macafee Dale_](http://twitter.com/youhelldell)
turned me onto as we was standin over them dropping them racks on em HA!!!

Future can release a mixtape on June 9th, like he did with True Story, and about
two weeks later a large crowd of people know every word to one of the random songs
from that project. And I say random because â€œAinâ€™t No Way Around Itâ€ was never
pushed as a single like â€œTony Montanaâ€ or â€œBlast Offâ€, both which appear
on True Story. Despite all of this, fans in Newnan still know every lyric to â€œAinâ
€™t No Way Around Itâ€. Thatâ€™s power! Not just Newnan but when I travel and I
see people listing to ipod’s ill ask what are they listening to 3 out of the 5 random
people i asked on my last trip relied this guy named Future

Future puts a lot of emphasis the melody in his rhymes, too. Notice how Futureâ€
™s rhyme structure from verse one and verse two parallel one another?

**On verse one, Future talks about a dilemma he has with a female:**

_A young hot thang, f-cked my bro and gave him brain / And she expect for me to 
love her, I can never be a lame / Iâ€™m attracted to her sexually, but she ainâ€
™t my main dame / We can be the best of friends, shawty, but you off the chain /
See I ainâ€™t gonna hold it against ya, Iâ€™ma keep it pimpin with ya / Donâ€™t 
you come at me with issues, ainâ€™t tryna get all in your mixture / I ainâ€™t tryna
come and get ya, you can meet me somewhere on Peachtree / At the W on the fourteenthâ
€¦_

**On the second verse, Future talks about the mind-state of someone trying to survive
in the streets:**

_Strapped with that flame, and he ready to bust a brain / You canâ€™t tell the homie
nothing, he done felt too much pain / He donâ€™t care nothing about no fame, he 
addicted to the gain / Some n-ggas rob, some n-ggas slang, do whatever to maintain/
Travel all the way to Waco, get them numbers for the low-low / Bigger risk the bigger
the check, we watch for po-poâ€¦_

But Future’s current single is Tony Montana and **when asked about the song he had
this to say**

_“I had to paint the picture of the whole movie: If you never seen Tony Montana,
go look at the movie ‘Scarface.’ The beat was sounding crazy when I heard the beat.
It sounded like New York when I heard it. It sounded very grimy, gutter, but at 
the same time it was a vicious track â€” it had that pound. I had to approach it
that way when I wrote the song, so I thought about scenes from the movie, all the
highlight scenes from Tony Montana from when he first came to America and they wouldn’t
even let him over â€” his anger â€” trying to get that vibe and get that energy.”_
