[Chorus]
Futuristic drugs taking me to places that I never been before
Futuristic drugs taking me to places that I never been before

Futuristic drugs taking me to places that I never been before
Futuristic drugs you're like futuristic drugs you're like futuristic drugs you're like futuristic drugs to me

[Post-Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]
Say-a
What do you desire
You like my attire

I'm so fucked up over you
All the way you want me to
Beauty like I've never seen
Higher that I've ever (been)

[Chorus]
Futuristic drugs taking me to places that I never been before
Futuristic drugs taking me to places that I never been before

Futuristic drugs taking me to places that I never been before
Futuristic drugs you're like futuristic drugs you're like futuristic drugs you're like futuristic drugs to me
