[Intro]
Will you come with me and love me well?
Fill this empty cup, this lonely shell
Help me to find a better life
I'm mother fuckin color blind...

[Verse 1]
Reading Deepak Chopra
I've been sober since the holding tank
Thought I was Superman ridin around with Lois Lane
She tries to keep her poker face, but she's gettin beat on
And when all your friends got shoulder pains when you're supposed to lean on this [flex, flex] onomatopoeia for flexing sound
Guzzle, guzzle, pop, pop
Stop fucking with this "onomat-peons" don't you watch
What it's doing to you
They're not moving with you
They're just moving through you
Get up out the way before they do it to you
Hard-headed with the soft spot for burglars robbin' you of your jewels
You're like a watchdog who got lost in his own damn household
Dancing in the heat til you get knocked out cold
Your intro isn't done so why the fuck can I hear your outro?
I'm out yo, cause I think I'm too invested in somebody shady so I need some proof before I mess with you
But I think I got it
Couple run ins with your exes too
Many pilots in the cockpit, is it true?
Empty the pockets of your past
I'm looking for loose change
Letting the noose hang on some new things
My sun shines, I don't do rain
But all I see is lightning bolts
What the fuck is you I saying?
Man shit, what the fuck am I saying?

[Bridge]
Girl... hold on...
Yea... what the fuck am I saying... Yea

[Chorus]
People sayin' that I shouldn't see you
If that's the case, then why did I meet you?
Feelin like I already met you and I don't want to leave you again
Are you feelin' like I'm feelin' like?
Is it wrong that I'm feeling right?

[Verse 2]
You're my adrenaline
Your lips are like my medicine
Late night like Letterman
My friends say don't let her in
But either way I'm pedalin' faster and faster
I ask her what she's after, there's laughter and she's flattered
But what does it matter
I think when it comes to our situation we're just stuck underneath the ladder
But I always think the perfect picture is just splattered
Yeah, damn

[Chorus]
People sayin' that I shouldn't see you
If that's the case, then why did I meet you?
Feelin like I already met you and I don't want to leave you again
Are you feelin' like I'm feelin' like?
Is it wrong that I'm feeling right?

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.
