“Oasis” is a song that captures this idea of the fools paradise. Russ discusses how on the surface level he has everything he dreamed of. Externally Russ was satisfies with the place he was in. Russ was finally eating the fruits of his labor. This came with it’s own weight as in the first verse Russ...
[Chorus: Bibi Bourelly & Russ]
I'm in my little oasis
Been to a whole lot of places
Nothin' like my little oasis
And it feel fuckin' amazin'
Been livin' in my little oasis (Ooh-woah)
Please don't come around tryna change it (Ooh-woah)
I can't let that happen, I made it (Ooh-woah)
Ain't nothin' like my little oasis (Ooh-woah)
Ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh-woah (Yeah)
[Verse 1: Russ]
Bury my problems in a bottle and a feast
No routine, no obligations, hardly gettin' any sleep
This is the dream, right?
Usin' random women just to boost my self-esteem, right?
Comfortable, complacent, I can't let go, so I squeeze tight
Hangin' on, I'm a mess (Mess)
I could've swore that I was 'posed to be goin' somewhere, but I forget
I'm in a drunken stupor, feel like a fuckin' loser
I don't know what I even want, don't see a fuckin' future
Feel like I have everything, but I feel nothin'
Spent a quarter million dollars on a car that I don't need just to feel somethin' (Yeah)
Still nothin'
Well, everything else failed, I might as well try self-destructin'
Dress it up though, make it look sexy so I don't notice
That my bein' is deterioratin', I'm losin' focus
At least it's got a multi, multi Platinum sound to it
Get your shit together, yeah, I get around to it
[Chorus: Bibi Bourelly]
I'm in my little oasis
Been to a whole lot of places
Nothin' like my little oasis
And it feel fuckin' amazin'
Been livin' in my little oasis (Ooh-woah)
Please don't come around tryna change it (Ooh-woah)
I can't let that happen, I made it (Ooh-woah)
Ain't nothin' like my little oasis (Ooh-woah)
Ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh-woah
[Verse 2: Russ]
Losin' direction by the minute, I'm trippin', I'm stallin'
Feelin' like DMX 'cause lately I'm slippin', I'm fallin'
Fuck it, I'm ballin', I'll get back on track tomorrow
I got time, ain't no rush, before you know it, it's tomorrow, damn
Defeated, depleted, don't wanna believe it
Anxiety beatin' my ass, I'm overeatin'
I put on thirty pounds of fat, friends say I'm gettin' money
If this is rich then take me back to bein' broke and bummy
I made an independent fortune and my engines foreign
But my stress is soarin', bootleg pornos off a Reddit forum
Every mornin', that's a copin' mechanism
Like the smokin' and the drinkin' and I'm prone to overthinkin'
Need a self soothe (Yeah), I got some bad habits (Yeah)
Check my account though, it just looks like I'm a cash addict (Ha)
I'm back at it every day, driftin' further away
Go get your shit together, maybe tomorrow, but not today
[Chorus: Bibi Bourelly]
I'm in my little oasis
Been to a whole lot of places
Nothin' like my little oasis
And it feel fuckin' amazin'
Been livin' in my little oasis (Ooh-woah)
Please don't come around tryna change it (Ooh-woah)
I can't let that happen, I made it (Ooh-woah)
Ain't nothin' like my little oasis (Ooh-woah)
Ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh-woah

Fools paradise. Bought my dream home and on
the surface, things seemed great. Plaques comin in, money comin in crazy, dream home is insane etc. I use the verses in this song to sort of highlight the kings disease sort of elements and poke fun at myself kind of. Like “yea eating
uncontrollably, drink...
