Lil Durk’s new album Almost Healed contains a lot of introspection, the typical subject matter of his music, and a whole lot of notable collaborations. Whether it’s Future, 21 Savage, or Morgan Wallen, Smurk put together a concise but exciting set of guest appearances. One of the most notable comes courtesy of Juice WRLD, who appears on the track “Cross The Globe.” Of course, as expected with a Juice appearance, it comes with a somber weight, and not much is known on how this specific song came about regarding his tragically cut-short time on this planet. Regardless, it’s still a compelling albeit loose collab.

For one, topically the two Chicago MCs focus on much of the same: sex, drugs, and street violence. Still, the eerie guitar-led beat gives the track a melancholy feel to it, accentuated by their understated vocal deliveries. On Juice WRLD’s end, he provides a fitting chorus that meshes well with Lil Durk’s heartfelt verse. In fact, it might be a disservice to his lyrical themes on this track to call it a typical focus. After all, the “Pelle Coat” artist reflects on the harsh violence in his city, his community efforts, fallen and imprisoned MCs, and the Internet’s propensity to spread negativity.

Recently, Durkio spoke on how he processes grief internally through a personal and private means. “I’m telling you, like, that rug is powerful,” The Voice expressed. “I lay the rug down, I pray- I cry on the rug, I cry while I’m praying, I cry during Ramadan. But guess what? India ain’t ever seen me cry. My daddy ain’t ever seen me cry.

Lyrics

[Intro: Lil Durk & Juice WRLD]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh (Yeah, yeah), oh, oh
(Out of here, out of here)
Wheezy, out of here (Out of here, out of here)
Ayy, Wheezy, we out of here (Out of here, out of here)
Ayy, Wheezy, we out of here (Out of here, out of here)

[Chorus: Juice WRLD]
Uh, fell in love with her tongue, yeah, told bro he gotta try some
She say, “Nigga, is you dumb? I ain’t fuckin’ both of y’all, only just one”
Then she seen that money come, me countin’ up Benjamin Franklins
Yeah, when she seen that, she took my brother to the room and said, “I’ll be right back”

[Verse 1: Juice WRLD]
Little bit of rock, little bit of rap
Sold a lot of rock, I don’t gotta cap
I was in the trap totin’ on the Glock
Whippin’ on the stove, cookin’ up the pot
Whole world in my hands, keep it on lock
Been through a lot shit, still shell-shocked
I got the juice, feel like 2Pac
They tryna kill me in the black Bimmer like 2Pac
I’m finna feed ’em the rounds
Finger-fuck the glizzy, I ain’t fuckin’ around
She fuckin’ on me when her man out of town
We get up off them uppers, it go down
Smoke ’til my eyes look Ming, no Yao
I’ma ball on these niggas like Ming, no Yao
How you want beef, but you a pussy?
Never seen a kitty act like a cow

[Chorus: Juice WRLD]
Uh, fell in love with her tongue, yeah, told bro he gotta try some
She say, “Nigga, is you dumb? I ain’t fuckin’ both of y’all, only just one”
Then she seen that money come, me countin’ up Benjamin Franklins
Yeah, when she seen that, she took my brother to the room and said, “I’ll be right back” (Uh)

[Verse 2: Lil Durk]
Deep in her guts, she screamin’ out facts (Facts)
Screamin’, “Free Thug,” I’m screamin’, “Free Slatt” (Slatt)
Let Melly out, I’m sorry ’bout X (X)
I know the owner, I took her to Catch (Oh)
Baby got off of Amiri, sayin’ he all Chrome, but I’m bringin’ him back
I hate the trollin’ they do when you die
Honestly, them niggas really be foul (Yeah, yeah)
50 want to shoot a movie, but I was just tellin’ him this real
On set in Chicago, anybody can get killed
The internet thinkin’ they hurtin’ me, stop it
I’m Smurkio, I gave out scholarships
The biggest before I was positive

[Chorus: Juice WRLD]
Uh, fell in love with her tongue, yeah, told bro he gotta try some
She say, “Nigga, is you dumb? I ain’t fuckin’ both of y’all, only just one”
Then she seen that money come, me countin’ up Benjamin Franklins
Yeah, when she seen that, she took my brother to the room and said, “I’ll be right back”
