INTRO
Hey, I thought it was all over (yeah)
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) yeah (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? (Okay)
VERSE 1
Remember old dude from 2019
Nice clean nigga 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?
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) Nigga think he slicked back ’til I slipped back
Got my lick back, turned a nigga 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
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), fuck it
VERSE 2
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 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
honestly
I can’t even fucking 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
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 (yeah)
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 (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 nigga guts into soup beans
OUTRO
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
