Man Of The Year
Juice WRLD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sippin' codeine like it's beer
I'm in London, so I'm screaming, "Cheers"
Man of the year, still got problems
Lookin' in the mirror, you look awful
Talkin' to myself, do it too often
JK, Juice WRLD, you're so awesome
Bottle full of pills, let's have fun
No cheap thrills, only rich ones
Fire drills, hotter than the sun
My ups and downs
I'll jot them down
In London town
Cheers to the golden years
Let's raise our hands
Let's sing and dance
I know I'm here to save you
I know I'm here to save you
Let's raise our hands
And sing and dance
I know my lyrics saved you
I know I helped your breakthrough
They say life's a puzzle, I'ma piece it together
But from the way I'm movin', I'll probably be piecing forever
I date a bad bitch, she'll be over decent forever
Even with fake tits, these other hoes just decent forever
My lady said she saw a baddie in the hotel lobby
Well love, let's fuck her together
We got the world to our backs, give a fuck, never have
Middle fingers up, we're screaming fuck 'em forever
My ups and downs
I'll jot them down
In London town
Cheers to the golden years
My ups and downs
I'll jot them down
In London town
Cheers to the golden years
Let's raise our hands
Let's sing and dance
I know I'm here to save you
I know I'm here to save you
Let's raise our hands
And sing and dance
I know my lyrics saved you
I know I helped your breakthrough

He acknowledges that he looks awful, but he still thinks he is awesome. The verse mentions that Juice WRLD is “running up funds” and is in possession of a “bottle full of pills,” foreshadowing his struggles with addiction. The lyrics indicate that he does not settle for cheap thrills, only the best, and he is hotter than the sun; likely a reflection of his confidence and optimism.
The second verse talks about Juice WRLD’s relationships, where he dates a “bad bitch.” He sees himself and his girlfriend as a powerful duo capable of doing what they please without caring about what anyone else thinks of them. They have the world at their backs, and they take pride in being rebels who will stand up against anyone who tries to bring them down. Despite being a big personality, Juice WRLD also references that he thinks of himself as a savior who is here to uplift others through his music. The chorus repeats the line “Cheers to the golden years,” reflecting on the good times and appreciating the highs and lows that have gotten him to where he is today.
