[Chorus 1]
Yeah
I'm tryna figure out if I'm better off alone
What seems so right just feels so wrong
I wake up in the morning and I feel it in my bones
My mind's so gone but I gotta hang on

[Verse 1]
All I know is liquor, random girls and crossing fingers
Summer of my final teens, LA dreams, Atlanta strippers
City lights and bedroom walls
Can't you see I'm just a drifter?
Double lives I've been involved in
Changing lanes without my finger
Fuck it man, I'm swerving, swerving (Swerving)

[Chorus]
Somebody set me free
I will do anything for you
I need it more than ever
Right now
Somebody set me free
I will do anything for you
I need it more than ever
Right now

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I can't lie, I feel alone
Unsettled at the core
I guess moving schools and switching states
Starts to affect you more
After you get slight older
You realize that your circle consists of people you hardly know
That shit is universal
Like every time you show up
You're feeling like the new guy
Never thought you'd roll up, now you're getting too high
It's kinda crazy, don't you think?
Faces change with every blink
Chameleons chasing after millions
Monday green, Tuesday pink
So you should get a glimpse
Take a picture while you still can
My ex hated Jack and coke
But now she blows Jill's man
I used to have a real plan
But that can make you lose it (Why?)
So I do is keep the faith
Keep making this music motherf**kers
Yeah (Yeah)

[Chorus 2: Russ]
Somebody set me free
I will do anything for you
I need it more than ever
Right now
Somebody set me free
I will do anything for you
I need it more than ever
Right now

[Chorus 1]
Yeah
I'm tryna figure out if I'm better off alone
What seems so right just feels so wrong
I wake up in the morning and I feel it in my bones
My mind's so gone but I gotta hang on

[Bridge]
Feeling like I need it all
I know I need it now
I'm just steady moving up
No more looking down
Feeling like I need it all
I know I need it now
I'm just steady moving up
No more looking down

[Chorus 2: Russ]
Somebody set me free
I will do anything for you
I need it more than ever
Right now
Somebody set me free
I will do anything for you
I need it more than ever
Right now
Somebody set me free
I will do anything for you
I need it more than ever
Right now
Somebody set me free
I will do anything for you
I need it more than ever
Right now
Somebody set me free
I will do anything for you
I need it more than ever
Right now
Somebody set me free
I will do anything for you
I need it more than ever
Right now

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.
