On “Accepting My Flaws,” Future builds a monument to his present love and past discontent
“Accepting My Flaws” doesn’t fit neatly into the pantheon of Future love songs. It’s devoid of the innocent sentimentality of 2014’s “I Won” or the tropical exuberance of 2017’s “Incredible.” Instead, the ominous wails of the Southside-produced song arrive like the rallying cry of an unending war that finally shows signs of abating. What he’s fighting for is stated plainly: “Give me glory, give me Lori, that’s victory.
Future positions him and his partner as allies against the world for the next verse. For four minutes, paranoia and passion are indecipherable from each other. One moment he’s begging her, “Don’t you let ’em turn you on me” and the next details the inner workings of their “chemistry.” Future wants the world to know he’s happy but, more importantly, seems concerned with exacting his vengeance upon those who doubted that his newfound contentment was achievable.
The most telling lyric of “Accepting My Flaws,” arrives without fanfare and finally reveals what Future has been fighting for all along: “Fall in love with revenge, hopin’ that’ll kill my demons,” he raps. The drugs and lovers change, but loving adversity, for Future, does not.
