The Art of Patience and Self-Preservation in Doechii's 'WAIT'

Doechii's song 'WAIT' is a compelling exploration of patience, self-preservation, and the importance of taking a step back to reassess one's life. The recurring refrain, 'No need to bring fall back in August, September / You should just fall back and wait,' serves as a metaphor for not rushing into decisions or actions. Instead, Doechii suggests that sometimes the best course of action is to wait and let things unfold naturally. This idea is reinforced with lines like 'Delete your call log and clear your agenda / You should just eat what's on your plate,' emphasizing the need to focus on the present and not be overwhelmed by future uncertainties or past mistakes.

The song also delves into the complexities of life and the importance of perseverance. Doechii uses vivid metaphors to illustrate this, such as 'Life is just like a bike, it don't move unless you pedaling,' highlighting the necessity of continuous effort and movement. The lyrics also touch on the idea of self-worth and the futility of comparing oneself to others, as seen in 'Less about who is better and more 'bout who blessing them.' This line suggests that personal growth and success are more important than external validation or competition.

In the latter part of the song, Doechii addresses the chaos and distractions that can cloud one's judgment. The lines 'Niggas callin' my phone, bitches callin' my phone / Private callin' my phone, blockin' you off my phone' depict the constant interruptions and pressures from the outside world. By advocating for a clear mind and a focused agenda, Doechii underscores the importance of mental clarity and self-care. The song's overall message is one of resilience, patience, and the wisdom of knowing when to step back and wait for the right moment to act.
