[Verse 1: Russ]
Yeah, had a dream in a Nissan riding with my beat on
Another young kid with an old mind
Living on a tightrope so he might go psycho
But he stay sane for the gold mine
I don't mind if I die in the process
Life's short but I long for the Loch Ness Monster
Sponsor pain and the progress
Aim for a battle but I land on the conquest
Got a crown on my head
Fuck a fitted, got a crown on my head
I'm the one that did it when you wanted me to quit it
Admitted I'm bout to get it off the sound of my head
When you drown in the dread of the hate that you made
I'mma count bread to replace what I gave to the world
That's a whole bunch of hits for free
I'm my own drug dealer my life's for me

[Chorus: Russ]
I like the way you talk to me
Let's roll on, roll on, roll on
I like the way you talk to me
Let's roll on, roll on, roll on
I like the way you talk to me
Let's roll on, roll on, roll on

[Verse 2: Dartlin]
Uh
Another day goes by
Another base in this game I slide
Can't stay home safe, and won't wait
For the moment when the rain gon' dry
Waitin' for the minute, I get the recognition
Gotta get out and get it
Not a second for decision
No time to wait, no time to waste
Give a time and place and I'll kill it
I've been patiently waiting to take it
Make no mistake this is real
Jesus had made me to make it
Just can't explain how I feel
Even if caged in steel this pain you feel my name is real
I'll remain right here, all the lames stay clear
This lane I made I steer

[Chorus: Russ]
I like the way you talk to me
Let's roll on, roll on, roll on
I like the way you talk to me
Let's roll on, roll on, roll on
I like the way you talk to me
Let's roll on, roll on, roll on

[Verse 3: Jalil]
Newest member in the game
We fuckin' around and she screamin' my name
Beast from the east I'm hard to tame
You lookin' at us like we in it for the fame
But really we are just fuckin' soldiers in the game
Now that I'm a little older, look at my perception
Lookin' at my life through a different intersection: DIEMON
Cause I am boppin' and droppin' motherfuckers who fake
Up in the AM tryin' to wake and I bake
Step up in my city let me show you what it take
God is on my side so tell me how I'm gonna lose
Contemplating life so tell me why we pick and choose
Tryin' to kill the track when you can barely make a bruise
Life's a fuckin bitch so now you giving 'em in twos
Smoke a couple more, let me lighten up the mood

[Chorus: Russ]
I like the way you talk to me
Let's roll on, roll on, roll on
I like the way you talk to me
Let's roll on, roll on, roll on
I like the way you talk to me
Let's roll on, roll on, roll on

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.
