[Intro, spoken]
Yeah
Sometimes I feel like this
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like this
Sometimes I feel like that
Sometimes I'm feeling dark
But then I'm light
But then I'm back
Sometimes I feel like spazzin'
Yelling out that I'm the one
Cause I been mapping this out
Since before I knew I was the one
Sometimes I feel like shaking people
Just to get through to them
But they're old, dumb and confused
Man, this ain't nothing new to them
Still I got some news for them
Hello Mr. Landlord
Russ is here, I'm moving in
This is just the mood I'm in
Killing shit while I'm feeling it
Then I blackout
Wake up with a Dominican
And dip out while she passed out
Looking for the credit for the hat
Telling her I maxed out
Bitch I'm tryna' rob this whole game
Ski masked out

[Bridge]
Now I don't think that you should fuck with me
Not until I at least fuck with you

[Verse 2]
Dreams and aspirations growing
Living in my head
Like a mu'fuckin' tumor
If I don't remove them then I'm dead
Imma' get this shit popping
If not, my list popping
In the meantime
I bought my sister a new wristwatch (Yeah)
Next comes the Range
Then a house in the sand
Hello Mr. Mirror I'm the mutha' fuckin' man
Damn
*laughes*

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.
