Juice WRLD’s “Robbery” Lyrics Meaning

The chorus and title of this track is based on Juice WRLD comparing his heartbreak to a bank robbery. In other words, he is stating that his ex-girlfriend stole his heart, just as a robber steals from a bank. As such, the song is centered on Juice’s reactions to losing his shorty. And it has a strongly-personal vibe, with WRLD himself stating that the album it is featured on, “A Deathrace for Love”, being an artistic expression of his inner soul.

On an emotional level, Juice seems conflicted over “running from her love” or persistently trying to win her back. What he ultimately admits is that he ‘just wants to be with’ his shorty.  In other words, he can’t forget about her despite obviously attempting to do so. So to deal with the angst experienced from being shunned by the woman he loves, WRLD has resorted to options such as getting high. However, he states that using drugs is already one of his favorite pastimes, and he even gives a shoutout to a famous liquor brand at the beginning of “Robbery”.

Despite the fact that this woman conscientiously avoids Juice, there does seem to be times when they do meet. WRLD confesses that during these occasions he has feelings of uneasiness and even paranoia. The wording during this part of the song is a bit elusive. However, it seems to indicate that Juice fears being setup to get robbed by his own shorties, which is something that does occasionally happen to big-name rappers. Overall though, it seems clear that despite what he is going through emotionally, Juice would very much like to get reacquainted romantically with this lady.
