[Intro]
Yeah
Ain't no fucking way I’m going back
Got way too much shit to take care of
And I'm having way too much fun pissing y'all off
It’s starting to look real rough out here for y'all
It's just the beginning too
Yeah, come on, come on (Yeah)

[Chorus]
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To splittin' five on McDoubles
I ain’t goin’ back (I ain't goin’ back)
To when there was no Russ, just Russell
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin’ back)
To when mom cried so much, it left a puddle
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
But I stay tapped in to that hustle
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To splittin' five on McDoubles
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To when there was no Russ, just Russell
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To when mom cried so much, it left a puddle
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
But I stay tapped in to that hustle

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I go way harder than most of y'all
If one of y'all died, wouldn't toast to y'all
I don't really care to get close to y'all
I live in a gym, I'm supposed to ball
Mom was applying for the food stamps
Every night studio boot camps
All I had there was a lot of free time
Cheap wine and my mind and my two hands
And the same confidence that I have right now
It was more back then to be honest
Before the world got a hold of me and started controlling me
Now I'm more tapped in to the comments than I should be
I admit that, so fuck y'all, give me my dick back
Middle finger gift wrap for the chit chat
And to anyone thinkin' I should quit rap

[Chorus]
I ain't goin' back now (I ain't goin' back)
To splittin' five on McDoubles
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To when there was no Russ, just Russell
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To when mom cried so much, it left a puddle
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
But I stay tapped in to that hustle
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To splittin' five on McDoubles
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To when there was no Russ, just Russell
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To when mom cried so much, it left a puddle
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
But I stay tapped in to that hustle

[Verse 2]
Who's in my league? Not you
Who makes your beats? Not you
Who does your hooks? Not you
Bitch I'm elite, top 2
And not 2, bitch, I'm the one
It's crazy to think that I barely begun
Already on Forbes, Already in Staples
I still got four years 'til my twenties are done
I'm having my fun, my house is a brothel
I'm fucking a Baptist, her pussy is gospel
Your life is awful, that ain't my fault
Yell at your mirror, go talk to your god
I'm not letting up, fuck how you feel
I got my boots laced and I'm out
I threw 20k in my studio
I brought the blue flame to my house, bitch

[Chorus]
I ain't goin' back, ah (I ain't goin' back)
To splittin' five on McDoubles
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To when there was no Russ, just Russell
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To when mom cried so much, it left a puddle
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
But I stay tapped in to that hustle
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To splittin' five on McDoubles
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To when there was no Russ, just Russell
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
To when mom cried so much, it left a puddle
I ain't goin' back (I ain't goin' back)
But I stay tapped in to that hustle (Yeah)

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.
