In the song, both Gucci Mane and Future reflect on their lives and the mixed emotions they experience. Gucci acknowledges that despite his past actions and mistakes, he believes that God still blesses him. He mentions riding around with the top down, looking up at the stars and feeling grateful for his blessings. However, he also acknowledges that not everyone understands or appreciates him, and even though they desire what he has (half of his Phantom car or mansion), they can never attain it. Gucci talks about losing a friend to gun violence, which has affected him deeply. Since then, he has been showing up late to events, like a vampire, possibly symbolizing his pain and withdrawal from others. He also acknowledges his addiction to smoking marijuana ("that broccoli") and his love for accumulating wealth ("stacking that cabbage"). Gucci shows appreciation for his jeweler and shooter, recognizing their skills and loyalty. Future jumps in on the track, emphasizing his addiction struggles and his street mentality. He mentions waking up and seeing a UFO, possibly representing his altered reality due to drug use. Future prides himself on his financial success, claiming to have money so plentiful that he kept it in his attic. He describes himself as the flyest and most successful person on Earth, with a status like an astronaut. Future brags about his ability to make money rapidly, even engaging in illegal activities like aggravated assault. He refers to himself as a rockstar and gang member, surrounded by images of skulls and spikes. Future mentions going to space and leaving certain individuals behind, showing a disregard for those who don't support him. He doesn't care about the consequences of his actions and expresses regret for not pursuing higher education like attending Yale, despite his business savvy and ability to move large quantities of drugs. This line may also suggest that Future feels he missed out on opportunities to better himself. In summary, the song "Sometimes" reflects the conflicted emotions, lifestyles, and experiences of Gucci Mane and Future, acknowledging their success, street life, drug addiction, and the consequences that come with it.
