Racks came in easy (yeah)
Boy, you ain't charging fees (Charging)
Get you knocked off easy
I think this bitch having feelings (What?)
With two bad hoes, two hit's then I leave it
(Ok) let's see, don't talk 'bout that bag
(Bag, bee, bag)
Diamonds so wet that they
Diamonds so wet so they mad
My bitch so bad, my bitch still bad
So they mad look how they look at us
How many days have passed like this?
The city, the crowd, is fading, moving on
How many days have passed like this?
The city, the crowd, is fading, moving on
Baby, you can lean on me (Lean)
Racks came in easy (yeah)
Boy, you ain't charging fees (Charging)
Get you knocked off easy
I think this bitch having feelings (What?)
With two bad hoes, two hit's then I leave it
(Ok) let's see, don't talk 'bout that bag
(Bag, bee, bag)
Money counter runnin' so fast (Brrt)
Diamonds so wet that they
Diamonds so wet so they mad
My bitch so bad, my bitch still bad
So they mad look how they look at us
How many days have passed like this?
The city, the crowd, is fading, moving on
How many days have passed like?

At first glance, the lyrics of Izaya Tiji's song "Interlude" may seem like a simple braggadocious rap about money, women, and diamonds. However, a closer look reveals a more introspective and melancholic theme. The repetition of the line "How many days have passed like this? The city, the crowd, is fading, moving on" speaks to a sense of loneliness and disconnection in the midst of a busy and fast-paced life.
The opening lines "Baby, you can lean on me" and "Racks came in easy" may seem contradictory, but they express a desire for someone to rely on and a sense of ease in acquiring wealth. The following lines criticize those who charge fees and suggest that they are easily disposable. The line "Get you knocked off easy" can be interpreted as a warning that those who live by the dollar are also at risk of losing everything just as easily.
The lines "I think this bitch having feelings" and "With two bad hoes, two hit's then I leave it" may seem like typical objectification of women, but they also express a fear of emotional attachment and a need for control. The repetition of the line "My bitch so bad, my bitch still bad, so they mad look how they look at us" shows a need for validation and a fear of being judged. Overall, "Interlude" speaks to the complex emotions of someone living a fast and flashy lifestyle, while feeling disconnected and vulnerable.
