​righteous Lyrics

I will
I will
I will
Oh-ooh
Uh

All white Gucci suit, I'm feeling righteous, yeah
I know that the truth is hard to digest, yeah
Five or six pills in my right hand, yeah
Codeine runneth over on my nightstand
Takin' medicine to fix all of the damage
My anxiety the size of a planet
Holes in my skull, over time
My heart's over ice

Over ice, I'm freezing
Beautiful eyes, deceiving
We may die this evening
Coughing and wheezing, bleeding
Hi, I'm anxious so
Blood moons are my eyes, stay low
Red and black, they glow
Undеr attack, in my soul
When it's my time, I'll know
Nevеr seen a hell so cold
Yeah, we'll make it out, I know
We'll run right through the flames, let's go
All white Gucci suit, I'm feeling righteous, yeah
I know that the truth is hard to digest, yeah
Five or six pills in my right hand, yeah
Codeine runneth over on my nightstand
Taking medicine to fix all of the damage
My anxiety the size of a planet
Holes in my skull, over time
My heart's over ice

I'm in too deep
Can't swim like me
We're drowning, so I will sing
My demons turn face under me
Inhale, exhale, but I can't breathe
Too busy drinking codeine doin' high speeds
Crash (Shh), pour a four, sip it slow, make the time pass
Take a pill for the thrill, have a relapse
Devil in my head tryna run gym laps
I ain't tryna race, he don't even know me like that

All white Gucci suit, I'm feeling righteous
I know that the truth is hard to digest
Five or six pills in my right hand
Codeine runneth over on my nightstand
Taking medicine to fix all of the damage
My anxiety the size of a planet
Holes in my skull, over time
My heart's over ice

Even before the leak, Juice and his team had previewed the song several times on Instagram Live, with Juice teasing and titling the song in the summer of 2019.
