Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in my black Benz
Doin' cocaine with my black friends
Uh, we'll be high as hell before the night ends, yeah
Oh, we'll be high before the night ends
Before the night ends
Switch up to the white Benz
Doin' Codeine with my white friends
Uh, we'll be high as hell before the night ends (yeah)
Before the night ends (woah)
Before the night begins

Lord have mercy
I know that these Perkys finna hurt me
Ayy, sometimes I feel like they doin' surgery
Tell me, are they workin' (are they workin')
Are they workin' (are they workin')
Tell me, are they workin' (work)
I party too damn much (too much)
Ayy, and you niggas can't keep up
I'm getting too fucked up, too fucked up, yeah
I'm too fucked up, won't look up 'til the sun come up
Pills with the Hennessy I might throw up
I might throw up, I'll be okay

I'm in my black Benz
Doin' cocaine with my black friends
Uh, we'll be high as hell before the night ends, yeah
Oh, we'll be high before the night ends
Before the night ends
Switch up to the white Benz
Doin' Codeine with my white friends
Uh, we'll be high as hell before the night ends (yeah)
Before the night ends (woah)
Before the night begins

Every day's a party, don't let no one tell you different
No lames allowed, you should really keep your distance
Smokin' on loud, and that Codeine I sip
Pourin' up this purple shit until it's in my piss
R.I.P to Prince, we got purple rain on deck
She loves Bobby Brown so he keep the Cane on deck
There be haters 'round, keep an AK on deck
Man down, man down, on, oh oh
Party animals, I'm a lion in the zoo
Party animals, I'm a lion at the zoo
Party animals, I'm a party animal

I'm in my black Benz
Doin' cocaine with my black friends
Uh, we'll be high as hell before the night ends, yeah
Oh, we'll be high before the night ends
Before the night ends
Switch up to the white Benz
Doin' Codeine with my white friends
Uh, we'll be high as hell before the night ends (yeah)
Before the night ends (woah)
Before the night begins





Before the night begins
Before the night begins

Overall Meaning

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."
