Afterlife
Future & Juice WRLD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm poppin' my shit every morning (poppin' my shit)
Then I go to paradise

Cough syrup got me dozin' off, I can see you in my afterlife (Wheezy outta here)
He snapped the clip in then drove off
He know somebody's 'bout to die tonight
I leave the baddies in the house, superfly
That Draco sittin' in the couch, I'm on fire
But I don't fuckin' miss it though, I'm gon' slide
I thank Allah I'ma get my money and I don't get tired

Sit in the back of the Phantom and have a good night
Ain't had to take nothin' off, lit up like a light
I can't see nothin' in the way, gone outta sight
I get her lace on daily basis, she my type
I pop my shit and live lavish, I never switch sides
You go to college, get a crib off the clothes I buy
We get on the top of the fuckin' Hills off of Sunset Drive
I'm a product of the field, I'm just in my disguise
Hit the trippin' off a pill but don't give me some cake
I've been jumpin' on these Lears, that's the way I'ma chase 'em
Franklin's comin' by the layers, that's the way we gon' make 'em
She don't know when I'ma pop 'em so she gotta sleep naked
I can tell the way they treat me, they gon' say I'm the greatest
Ain't no tellin' if I leave, if I'ma ever come back (Pluto)
Ain't gon' never let a disloyal bitch hold me back
I done Goyard my bags so it could hold my racks
And all the love I got for Atlanta, I got the same for Chiraq
You can't help who you love nigga (can't help who you love)
That's why God made thug niggas (yeah, straight up)

Cough syrup got me dozin' off
I can see you in my afterlife
He snapped the clip in then drove off
He know somebody's 'bout to die tonight
I leave the baddies in the house, superfly
That Draco sittin' in the couch, I'm on fire
But I don't fuckin' miss it though, I'm gon' slide
I thank Allah I'ma get my money and I don't get tired

I thank Allah I'ma get my checks, fuck you niggas
I need to get it off my chest, fuck you niggas
I got the hittas in the cut, I'm still that nigga
I got her flattin' out her tummy, I'm that nigga (super)
Take my time, my new bank account gettin' taller
I flood-out Richard, it's gon' cost me at least a quarter (least a quarter)
I done been in my bag lately and poppin my collar (my bag)
I got a good taste in bitches 'cause they swallow (yeah)
I done birthed a lotta lil' niggas, I'm their father (Future)
Can't be responsible, how you woe? 'Cause I taught ya (I can)
Keep it a thousand, ok bool
That's how I was brought up (one thousand)
Lil' nigga had to pay his dues, man, slaughter (free Lu)
9 braces on me, baby, hold on, wait (hold on)
9 rings on me, baby, hold on, wait (I'm the champ)
Got that Glizzy on me, baby, hold on wait (that's a Glock)
Don't be shy with that pussy, hoe don't wait (yeah, mine)
90 vibes at the crib, pick a race (yes)
I would've said at least a hundred to play it safe (robbin' the safe)
When it comes to loud, I'ma roll with Grade A (Grade A)
I don't go outta town unless I'm fillin' up the safe
I done crocodile my Pradas, just to hold my racks
And all the love I got for Atlanta, I got the same for Chiraq
You can't help who you love, nigga
That's why God made thug niggas

You can't help who you love, nigga
I'm poppin' my shit every mornin'
Then I go to paradise




Can't help who you love, nigga
That's why God made thug niggas

Overall Meaning

In the song "Afterlife" by Future and Juice WRLD, they discuss their reckless lifestyle, daily struggles, and their awareness that they might not make it to the afterlife. They mention drugs, guns, money, and women as their everyday essentials. They claim that they cannot help who they fall in love with, and they are true to their thug nature. The duo emphasizes the need to live life to the fullest and to make amends before it's too late.


In the first verse, Future mentions his daily routine where he pops his shit (brags) every morning, but then he realizes that he might not make it to paradise (life after death) due to the cough syrup addiction that has him dozing off. He then talks about someone driving off after snapping the clip, indicating that somebody is about to die. Future leaves the baddies (women) in the house and sits on the couch with his Draco (gun), with the line "I'm on fire," suggesting he is unstoppable. However, the line "But I don't f***in' miss it though, I'm gon' slide" could refer to Future's readiness to defend himself, or he could mean he won't stop his drug habit despite its detrimental effects.


Juice WRLD's verse emphasizes his wealth status, flexing his riches and proving that he is still that nigga. He mentions having "hitters" in his team and having the ability to "birth" new rappers. He talks of spending a lot of money on designer clothing and expensive jewelry, indicating that he's doing well financially. The line "Can't be responsible, how you woe? 'Cause I taught ya" suggests that he has played a significant role in someone's life and taught them some things, but he's not responsible for their actions. The song concludes with Future and Juice WRLD echoing the line, "You can't help who you love, nigga. That's why God made thug niggas."
