[Intro]
Yeah (Yeah)
Still  Straight From Limbo

[Verse 1]
Uh,  I'm feeling alright
Leaning on the shoulder of Summer but she's the Fall type
And I'ma winner, she's a sinner, this a false life
Hope  I'm in my phone when dream's call
'Cause  they don't call twice
But if I'm there I'll play the hand that I'm dealt
Piss  off all the dealers 'cause I'm scratching off the felt
As I'm going all in, going out with the bell
Middle fingers stay raised, zero fucks, how they felt?
Oh he's back? I'm myself
And  some may call that trust issues
I call it: My money's probably safer if I don't fuck with you
Even if it feels so real and the glove fits you
Take that shit off and examine it like your gut got you by
Don't try chancing it, once you put your hands in it
Past the point of no return, the burns don't bandage quick
I got a plan and my plan's not to plan this shit
Except to try and live alright and meet some Spanish chicks

[Chorus]
I've got the city in the background
Bad girl's where you at now?
I've got some drugs in the background
Soon as I sat down I be in the field alright
I've got the city in the background
Bad girl's where you at now?
I've got some drugs in the background
Soon as I sat down I be in the field alright

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm feeling alright
Smoking Mary, sipping Johnnie Walker all night
This is what I call life
You nickname it how you wanna
I got the golden ticket from Willy Wonka
I treat the drama like apartheid
Which mean I segregate it
And separate it from myself
'Cause if I hesitated I'll be in a deep hole
Tryna find my way out
What's the use of steeples when I ain't got shit to pray 'bout?
I mean I do but what's the use? I can't be saved now
Or maybe I can if I just raise my hands and say it loud
And say it proud, I need help, I need guidance
If Sally could sell seashells could she buy this?
I'm being honest
We believe what we perceive
What we achieve, what we have seen
In the dream in between when it manifests itself
And when it was just a vision
I just hope that I'm not jaded by the time I change positions

[Chorus]
I've got the city in the background
Bad girl's where you at now?
I've got some drugs in the background
Soon as I sat down I be in the field alright
I've got the city in the background
Bad girl's where you at now?
I've got some drugs in the background
Soon as I sat down I be in the field alright

Russ

Russell Vitale is a rapper from Atlanta, Georgia, by way of New Jersey. A lifelong fan of rap, Russ began writing raps in his notebook at the age of 7. At 14, he began making beats, producing for his friend Bugus who had dreams of making it as a rapper. In high school, Russ made the decision to also pursue a career as a rapper himself.

Between 2011 and 2014, Russ released 11 mixtapes. These received minimal attention, and Russ decided to wait to release his debut album until he had enough of an audience. What followed was 96 consecutive weekly singles released to his SoundCloud page. Two notables among the slew of singles were “What They Want” and “Losin Control,” both of which ended up being certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA.

On May 5, 2017, Russ released his debut album There’s Really A Wolf, which spawned 7 singles with Gold certification or higher and was certified Platinum within a year of its release. A year later, his sophomore project ZOO came to be on September 7, 2018, this time opting to enlist external producers and featured artists. Then, at the end of January 2020, he dropped his long-awaited SHAKE THE SNOW GLOBE album, where he talks about love, haters and his wealth.
