Big Dog

Juice WRLD's 'Big Dog' is a vivid portrayal of dominance, excess, and the lifestyle that comes with fame and power. The repeated phrase 'Big dog around campus' sets the tone for the song, establishing Juice WRLD as a figure of authority and influence. This assertion of dominance is further emphasized by the dismissive 'Sit down lil' ho, you know that you can't stand it,' indicating that others are unable to match his stature or presence. The imagery of a 'choppa on my hip' and references to firearms and violence underscore the dangerous edge that accompanies his position of power.

The song also delves into themes of substance use and escapism. Juice WRLD mentions dropping 'the eight in my Fanta,' a reference to mixing codeine with soda, a common practice in the culture of lean. This act of self-medication is portrayed as a way to elevate and levitate, suggesting a desire to escape reality and reach a higher state of consciousness. The lyrics 'Percocets get me higher than moon rocks' and 'It's just codeine when I cheer' further highlight the reliance on substances to cope with the pressures and challenges of his lifestyle.

Juice WRLD's lyrics also touch on themes of hedonism and fleeting relationships. The lines 'If you ain't suckin' or fuckin', you could beat it' and 'She sucked my nuts then dipped' reflect a casual and transactional approach to relationships, where physical pleasure is prioritized over emotional connection. This hedonistic lifestyle is mirrored in the materialistic references to luxury items like the 'AP on my wrist' and the 'exotic car,' showcasing the trappings of wealth and success. The song paints a picture of a life filled with excess, danger, and a constant pursuit of pleasure, all while maintaining a sense of dominance and control.
