DENIAL IS A RIVER

(Hey, I thought it was all over)
What′s up, Doechii?
Hey, girl
You know it’s been a lil′ minute since you and I have had a chat
Has it really?
Probably since, like, your last EP, “Oh The Places You’ll Go”
Oh, wow
It’s been a minute, yeah
I′ve been gettin′ some calls
Oh?
People are a little bit worried about you
Not worried, okay
And I know that I was kinda that outlet for you, so
You were
Why don’t you just tell me what′s been goin’ on?
Mmm, okay
Remember old dude from 2019
Nice clean did me dirtier than laundry (than laundry)
Took a scroll through his IG
Just to get a DM from his wifey? (What the?)
I was so confused, what should Doechii do?
She didn′t know about me and I didn’t know ′bout Sue
I open up the messages, then had to hit the zoom
Turns out the girl was really a dude (goddamn)
Think he slicked back ‘til I slipped back
Got my lick back, turned a to a knick-knack (to a knick-knack)
I moved on, dropped a couple of songs
And then I went and got signed, now it’s 2021
Okay, I just feel like this is the perfect opportunity for us to just
Take a second and kind of unpack what′s happened to you
You know, this guy cheated on you, and -
Mm, nah (oh), it
“Platinum record” this, “Viral record” that
I′m makin’ so much money, I′m all over the net
I’m movin′ so fast, no time to process
And, no, I’m not in a gang, but I′m always on set (yeah)
Wristwatch, drip drop, labels want the TikToks
Now I’m makin’ TikTok music, what the?
I need a cleanse, need a detox
But we ain′t got time to stop, the charts need us (and they do)
Fast forward, me, 2023
I′m stackin’ lots of cheese and makin′ money
My grass is really green, and-
Honestly, I can’t even cap no more
This is a really dark time for me, I′m goin’ through a lot
By “a lot,” you mean drugs?
Um, I wouldn′t-
Drugs?
No, it’s a-
No?
It’s a natural plant
No, I′m not judging
I′m not an addict
I’m just sayin′
I don’t think-
You wanna talk about it?
Uh
I mean, I like pills, I like drugs
I like gettin′ money, I like strippers, I like to
I like day-drinkin’ and day parties and Hollywood
I like doin′ Hollywood, snort it? Probably would (yeah)
What can I say? The works, it feels good
And my self-worth’s at an all-time low
And just when it couldn’t get worse
My ex crashed my place and destroyed all I owned (yeah)
Whoopsie, made a oopsie
100,000-dollar oops made me loopy (yeah)
I ain′t a killer, but don′t push me
Don’t wanna have to turn a guts into soup beans
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Rurr
Okay, Doechii
We don′t wanna revert back into our old ways
Sorry, okay
So we’re gonna try a breathin′ exercise, okay?
Alright, word
When I breathe (okay), you breathe
Alright? Let’s go (what?)
Uh-uh-ooh, uh-uh-ah
Uh, uh, uh, ah
Uh, uh, uh-uh-ah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-ah, whoo-sah!
