[Intro]
Life is a gamble, a risk from day to day
As to which direction your mind will take, is only for you to say
Is time too short to stop and help your fellow brotherman?
People be strong, to love is not wrong
Help us take a stand

[Verse 1]
Yeah
You had a fucked up childhood
Didn't get the love that a child should
Now you tryna' find the good
You got a couple of bottles and a pile of kush
That you wanna' run away with
Everyday is the same shit
Daddy beat you, left you faced with
Dealing with dudes giving you facelifts
And a pistol that doesn't have patience
Especially when your friend ask, oh shit
Let it soak in so much emotion
Bullet's scrape you and you barely even notice
'Cause you gon' find out where they live any moment
So you get in the car feelin' fucked up
Gun in your lap like, what what?
Pull up to the house, see the lights on
And the brass sound off like trumpets
Fuck it, you don't even know if you caught one

[Chorus]
I think my girl caught a body
I think my girl caught a body
I think my girl caught a body
Ohh

[Verse 2]
You don't know how to be a woman
Haven't seen your mom in two years
When she was here you ignored her
Now you shed a few tears
Swear to God you killin' yourself
Yeah, guilt trip is your hobby
Girl, you hardly speaking
Me, I'm speaking softly
Tell me that it's not me
I tell you that it's all you
That's why my homie called me
To tell me that he saw you halfway naked
In a bathing suit with a lame ass dude
Looking like you on vacation
Looking halfway wasted I can't take it
Swear to God you killin' yourself

[Chorus: Russ]
I think my girl caught a body
I think my girl caught a body
I think my girl caught a body
Ohh

[Outro]
Life is a gamble, a risk from day to day
As to which direction your mind will take, is only for you to say
Is time too short to stop and help your fellow brotherman?
People be strong, to love is not wrong
Help us take a stand

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.
