[Intro]
I got to know, got to know, got to know now
Girl, I

[Verse 1]
We drink like it’s anointed liquor
I see you got your hands full, pointin' fingers
I’m just tryin' to figure out
If it’s a broom that you flew in on
'Cause I’m tryin' to break you out
So I'm not the one to be goin' in on
Flick on enlightenment
Why don’t you try this shit?
'Cause every time I try you end up fightin' it
Phone calls full of black holes and white flags
I put you first so you might last
Just gimme a sec

[Chorus]
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
That I’m feelin'?
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
That I’m feelin'?
I wanna know, ah na na no
Throw my cards on your table

[Verse 2]
Yeah
I told you I was all in right?
You bluffed once and didn’t think twice
But I'm not the type to fold a hand
You say it's the Beetles, me, and 2Pac
I gotta hold your hand to keep your head up

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
I’m willing and able

[Verse 3]
To be everything
You say you feel it
But little did I know
About the lies you were concealin'
Now the truth comes out
And all hell breaks loose
When the goose comes out
Or better yet tequila mixed with all your pride
And your anger
But you feelin' like a stranger when you sober
So drink up and let me get closer, fuck

[Chorus]
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
That I’m feelin'?
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
Is this love
That I’m feelin'?
I wanna know, ah na na no

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.
