Meaning of Kurtis Blow lyrics by Juice WRLD

May 28, 2023

The song "Kurtis Blow" by Juice WRLD seems to be about his struggles with drug addiction and his appreciation for the rapper Kurtis Blow. The song starts off with him floating on percs (a type of painkiller) and feeling like a different person, suggesting that drug use has altered his personality. He talks about snakes in the grass and how God has taught him to see through them, which could be a reference to the people in his life who may take advantage of him or lead him down the wrong path.

Juice WRLD acknowledges his reliance on drugs, admitting that he'd be lost without them and gets frustrated when they don't work. However, he also mentions his wealth and success, and how he no longer needs to be in the streets "lurking" now that he can afford his lifestyle.

The line "your name should've been Kurtis" is a reference to the rapper Kurtis Blow, who was one of the pioneers of hip hop. It's unclear why Juice WRLD uses his name in this way, but it may suggest that he sees Kurtis Blow as an inspiration or role model. The chorus repeats the themes of drug use and struggles with trust, but also mentions his love for Cudi (probably referring to rapper Kid Cudi) and the success of his song "Lucid Dreams."

Overall, the song explores Juice WRLD's relationship with drugs and his journey towards success in the music industry.
