Verse 1
Baby, come and have a blast with me
Do everything I say like your majesty
Fuck with the gang and it be a tragedy
Fuck with my shooters, they in the back with me
Whoopty, baby, come get this bag with me
Been alone for a minute, that shit been dragging me
Craving your love, it's heart-attacking me
Tryna get in that pussy, baby, that mac and cheese
In this opening verse, the artist invites someone to join him in a wild, carefree lifestyle. There’s a sense of power in telling someone to follow his lead. The mention of “shooters” hints at a tough, street-oriented background, adding a layer of danger to the fun.

Chorus
Baby, come and have a blast with me
Do everything I say like your majesty
Fuck with the gang and it be a tragedy
Fuck with my shooters, they in the back with me
The chorus reinforces the idea of enjoying life and living in the moment. It’s catchy and energetic, making it easy to sing along. But there’s a darker undertone; it alludes to consequences if someone crosses him or his friends. This contrast between fun and danger creates an engaging dynamic in the song.
Verse 2
Uh, you picked that knife up and you stabbin' me
Wish it was a papercut, but it's a gash, I bleed out
Ain't no way you keep harassin' me
It's a shame this the way that it has to be, oh
Uh, yeah, time is of the essence
You know damn well you bring hell, I should call a reverend
Devil horns on that angel, still haven't learned my lesson
Uh, we're a mess and our life's a wreck (Hey)
In this verse, Juice WRLD shifts to a more serious tone, reflecting on the pain caused by a toxic relationship. The imagery of being stabbed emphasizes betrayal and hurt. He feels trapped in this situation, acknowledging the chaos it brings to his life. The line about “devil horns on that angel” shows the complexity of love, hinting that sometimes the person we love can also hurt us the most.
Chorus
Baby, come and have a blast with me
Do everything I say like your majesty
Fuck with the gang and it be a tragedy
Fuck with my shooters, they in the back with me
The chorus repeats, reminding us of the carefree party vibe. But now, it feels more like a distraction from the pain expressed in the verse.

Bridge
Uh, toxic, toxic, toxic
The most beautiful things grow old and start rottin'
I should've turned away when I found out you were demonic
Let's be honest, you're the devil's daughter
Say hey to your father, uh, he owe me twenty dollars
We gon' run through hell with like twenty-hundred choppers
We gon' give 'em hell and I put that on my mama
In the bridge, Juice WRLD dives deeper into the toxicity of his relationship. He acknowledges that beautiful things can turn bad over time. The metaphor of the “devil’s daughter” adds a dramatic flair, suggesting he feels trapped by this person. The fun imagery of running through hell with choppers juxtaposes the heaviness of the lyrics, showing his blend of bravado and pain.
Chorus
Baby, come and have a blast with me
Do everything I say like your majesty
Fuck with the gang and it be a tragedy

Three candles, look like entree
Told me like Andre
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Hahahaha, Nick, you're stupid
Baby, come and have a blast with me
Do everything I say like your majesty
Fuck with the gang and it be a tragedy
Fuck with my shooters, they in the back with me
Whoopty, baby, come get this bag with me
Been alone for a minute, that shit been dragging me
Craving your love, it's heart-attacking me
Tryna get in that pussy, baby, that mac and cheese

Fuck that bitch and then dip, I got them chips to receive, yeah
Baby, come and have a blast with me
Do everything I say like your majesty
Fuck with the gang and it be a tragedy
Fuck with my shooters, they in the back with me
Uh, you picked that knife up and you stabbin' me
Wish it was a papercut, but it's a gash, I bleed out
Ain't no way you keep harassin' me
It's a shame this the way that it has to be, oh
Uh, yeah, time is of the essence
You know damn well you bring hell, I should call a reverend
Devil horns on that angel, still haven't learned my lesson

Fuck with the gang and it be a tragedy
Fuck with my shooters, they in the back with me
Whoopty, baby, come get this bag with me
