I Serve the Base

Most of Future's vocals for DS2 were recorded in freestyle-like bursts, and arranged later. For instance the "I serve the base" hook for this heavy bass-filled oath of fidelity to the street life only became the song's chorus in the editing process.

The base that Future is selling here on the streets is freebase cocaine. That is coke that has been freed from impurities by heating it to produce vapors for inhalation.
