The haunted soul of the late Juice WRLD is on full display all over his second posthumous studio album, titled Fighting Demons, which was released on Friday (December 10). Though it’s still early, some fans are already praising this album and saying that it’s slightly better than the first posthumous album in Juice WRLD’s discography, Legends Never Die. While that’s subjective, time will tell where this project stands in the ranking of the greatest bodies of work from the departed Chicago spitter.
His new album starts off with “Burn,” a song produced by Metro Boomin, in which Juice discusses his battle with substance abuse, being “cursed since birth,” and his journey to find truth in his life. There are plenty of highlights on the album, but this is definitely one of them.
The release of Fighting Demons comes following a celebration of the rapper’s life at United Center in Chicago, which featured performances from some of the artist’s best friends in the music industry. It arrives almost exactly two years following his death.

[Intro]
(If young Metro don’t trust you— trust you)
[Verse 1]
I can’t take one Percocet, start tonight off, I just took a 60
Burberry on me, shoot you in your back, you just got Pretty Ricky
I tie the Chanel runners, then I get back to running the city
And I know that it’s hell coming, I ain’t worried, my niggas, they with me
Gotta put the narcotics down, I can feel ’em fucking up my kidney
And punching my liver
If I let it kill me, my mama’ll never forgive me
Ain’t numbing my feelings, if I let it kill ’em, my baby will never forgive me
This remind me of hell, sometimes I wonder if that’s where God really sent me
[Chorus]
Hands up in the fire, burn, burn, burn, burn
Hands up in the fire, burn, burn, burn, burn
I pray to God for some water to wash down these Percs
I been cursed since birth, guess I never learn
Hands up in the fire, burn, burn, burn, burn
Hands up in the fire, burn, burn, burn, burn
I pray to God for some water to wash down these Percs
I been cursed since birth, guess I never learn
[Verse 2]
The truth hurts, let it bleed out, if they hurt you, let ’em leave
My heart hurtin’, let me bleed out, only way I’ll find peace
I’m tryna get set free, but these chains on me
Choke me, I can’t breathe, what’s reality?
Uh, detached from myself
Uh-huh, numb the pain with my wealth
Uh, a bag from Chanel match the double C on my belt, uh
Bands in my pants, I barely be holdin’ my pants up
But the money ain’t the answer
I’m just tryna reach some new highs
Mix this with that, bet it feel nice
Codeine, only sip if I got ice
Look my girl in her eyes, tell her I won’t die
I fell asleep too deep that one time
Woke up to your cry, girl, I’m fine
But I lied
Had a dream, I wasn’t gon’ wake up this time
[Chorus]
Hands up in the fire, burn, burn, burn, burn
Hands up in the fire, burn, burn, burn, burn
I pray to God for some water to wash down these Percs
I been cursed since birth, guess I never learn
Hands up in the fire, burn, burn, burn, burn
Hands up in the fire, burn, burn, burn, burn
I pray to God for some water to wash down these Percs
I been cursed since birth, guess I never learn
