DENIAL IS A RIVER (Genius Open Mic)
[Intro: Issa Rae, Doechii]
Hey, I thought it was all over
What's up, Doechii?
Hey, Issa
You know it's been a little while since you and I have had a chat
Oh, really?
Probably since, like, your last EP, Oh The Places You'll Go
Oh, yeah (Yeah)
I've been gettin' some calls
Oh!
People are a little bit worried about you
Not worried
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?
Okay

[Verse 1: Doechii, Issa Rae]
Remember old dude from 2019? Nice clean n***a, did me dirtier than laundry (Than laundry)
Took a scroll through his IG, just to get a DM from his wifey (What the fuck?)
I was so confused, what should Doechii do?
Shе didn't know about me and I didn't know 'bout Sue
I open up thе messages and had to hit the zoom
Turns out the girl was really a dude? (Goddamn)
N***a think he slicked back 'til I slipped back
Got my lick back, turned a n***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
[Interlude: Issa Rae, Doechii]
Okay, I just feel like this is the perfect opportunity for us to just
Take a second and kind off unpack what's happened to you
You know, this guy cheated on you and—
Mm, nah, fuck it
Ow

[Verse 2: Doechii, Issa Rae]
"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
Wrist watch, drip drop, labels want the TikToks
Now I'm makin' TikTok music, what the fuck?
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

[Interlude: Doechii, Issa Rae]
Honestly, I can't even fucking cap no more, Issa
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- I'm not judging
I don't—
I'm just sayin'
I'm not an addict
Wanna talk about it?
Uh
[Verse 3]
I mean fuck, I like pills, I like drugs
I like gettin' money, I like strippers, I like to fuck
I like day-drinkin' and day parties and Hollywood
I like doin' Hollywood shit, snort it, probably would
What can I say? The shit 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
Whoopsie, made a oopsie
One-hundred thousand dollar "oops" made me loopy
I ain't a killer but don't push me
Don't wanna have to turn a n***a guts into soup beans

[Outro: Issa Rae, Doechii, Doechii & Issa Rae]
Oh, okay, woah, woah, woah (Rurr), okay, Doechii
We don't wanna revert back into our old ways
Sorry, okay
So, we're gonna try a breathing exercise, okay?
Alright, word
When I breathe, you breathe
Okay
Alright? Let's go
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, ah
Uh, uh, uh, ah
Uh, uh, uh, uh, ah
Uh, uh, uh, uh, woosah
