Juice WRLD - Righteous
[Intro]
I will (I will)
I will (I will)
I will
Oh-ooh (Oh-ooh)
Uh (Uh)
[Chorus]
All white Gucci suit, I'm feeling righteous, yeah
I know that the truth is hard to digest, yeah
Five or six pills in my right hand, yeah
Codeine runneth over on my nightstand
Takin' medicine to fix all of the damage
My anxiety the size of a planet (Yeah, ooh)
Holes in my skull, over time
My heart's over ice (Woah)
[Verse 1]
Over ice, I'm freezing
Beautiful eyes, deceiving
We may die this evening
Coughing and wheezing, bleeding
Hi, I'm anxious so
Blood moons are my eyes, stay low
Red and black, they glow
Under attack, in my soul
When it's my time, I'll know
Never seen a hell so cold
Yeah, we'll make it out, I know
We'll run right through the flames, let's go
The first posthumous single put out by his estate, “Righteous” is an emotional ballad for Juice WRLD fans. Featuring Juice’s usual topics of drugs and glamour with fashion, he sings about his anxiety and his corruption when it comes to addiction. The song leaked online in late 2019, but was later released by Juice’s label, Grade A Productions, on April 24, 2020, four months after Juice unexpectedly passed away following a seizure at Chicago’s Midway Airport. Even before the leak, Juice and his team had previewed the song several times on Instagram Live, with Juice teasing and titling the song in the summer of 2019. One day prior the release, Juice’s fiancé posted on Twitter explaining what the song meant to her.
