In Future's massive hit "Where Ya At", the civil rights traptivist calls out minority groups that he feels are not with black people on the front lines against White Supremacy.

A look into the thoughtful and poignant art shows Future publicly criticizing NBPOC (Non-black people of color) for looking towards black people to fight their battles against white supremacy with them, while not prioritizing fighting alongside black people and their own issues fighting racism.

Move that Dope- Originally titled "Move that Hope", Messiah Future decided to use "dope" as a unique metaphor about how fast joy, elation and aspiration can spread throughout a community, no matter its conditions. With Demon Pusha and Devil Pharrell as his foes, the battle of god's word vs by the devil's influence is detailed within the scope of urban landscapes across the globe. Through sheer will, as detailed by the repeating chorus, the righteous wins out at the end, with the ending words "young n*gga move that dope" showing that good will always outlast evil.

"Gone To The Moon"

In this early Future classic, Nayvadius pays tribute to African American astronaut Ronald McNair, who was tragically killed when the space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after takeoff in 1984. Just like McNair, Future is one of the most well respected and beloved African Americans of all time, and Future payed tribute to McNair the best way he knows, by telling the success and ultimate the death of McNair, which mirrors the street life that so many youth get caught up in.
