[Chorus: Russ]
I know I got problems
At least I face them
Gotta' speak on the bullshit
Cause to me it's not bullshit

[Verse 1: Russ]
Yeah and I'm schizophrenic, bipolar
Mental maniac mobbin'
Yellin' at the universe like
"Pay me back, I got some problems"
Uncle was on cocaine
Other uncle died early
Cousin turned to heroin
My grandpa's got the shakes, I'm nervous
Hope he gets to see me make it
Before I see his funeral service
Yeah

[Refrain 1: Russ]
Let the liquor creep, creep, creep up on me
I don't need to sleep, sleep, sleep 'cause I'm on this
So let's go
Woah, woah, ooh-oohh, yeah

[Chorus: Russ]
I know I got problems
At least I face them
Gotta' speak on the bullshit
Cause to me it's not bullshit

[Verse 2: Russ]
Yeah, I moved around a lot
Learned not to get attached
Dad gave his trust to a hoe
Tryna' get it back
Even after I was born
Nothin' worse
Than a women's scorn
Comin' after
Kids with the wrong one
Could be a natural disaster
I remember driving up on Easter
Daddy in jail, ex wife said he beat her
My mom had to cope with this hoe, spittin' ether
And my dad doesn't fuck with y'all
So I don't fuck with y'all either

[Refrain 2: Russ]
Yeah, I should know not to fuck with hoes
But I love them and they love me
Should of learned you could feel the burn
Of a bitch gone bitter

[Chorus: Russ]
I know I got problems
At least I face them
Gotta' speak on the bullshit
Cause to me it's not bullshit
I know I got problems
At least I face them
Gotta' speak on the bullshit
Cause to me it's not bullshit

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.
