The lyrics to Juice WRLD's song Black & White refer to the rapper's excessive party habits, where he switches back and forth between his black and white Benz cars and indulges in drugs with his friends of the respective race. The first verse describes the scene where he and his black friends are snorting cocaine in his black Benz, intending to get high before the night ends. He then switches to his white car and does Codeine with his white friends, yet again, they plan to get high before the night ends. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the haste in which they indulge in substances, as they aim to "be high as hell" before the night begins.
In the second verse, Juice WRLD expresses concern about the drugs he takes, specifically mentioning Perkys, a brand of prescription painkillers that contain Oxycodone. He questions if they are truly beneficial, as he feels like they are "doing surgery" on him. He admits to partying too much, and his lyrics imply that he is trying to keep up with a certain pace of life, but struggle to maintain it. Nevertheless, he continues to drink and do drugs with his friends, mentioning Hennessy and purple drink, until his body gives out, "I'm too fucked up, won't look up 'til the sun come up."
