[Intro: Russ]
Damn
Yeah
It's crazy
Imma' show y'all How To Rob
But foreal
What up Kanye?
Or should I scream?
You know I had to put you on here
And you know it had to be this beat

[Hook: Russ]
I don't give a fuck what these hoes don't like
I don't give a fuck what these dudes don't like
I don't give a fuck what you don't like
I can still be a celebrity overnight
I can drive cars that you wanna' ride
I can fuck bitches that you wanna wife
But fuck that shit, cause it's not real life
And neither is being a celebrity, overnight

[Verse 1: Russ]
Yeah, knocking on hip-hops door like Jehovah
Russ on a Kanye beat like Hova
And I'm taking ova'
Heart to the Uzi
Double dollar sign, shoot truth like a movie
Blah blah blah, blah blah
Y'all bark too much, bow wow wow wow
Now I don't feel you bite, y'all
Get hot and flop in the same damn night
It's cool being on MTV
But when you gonna' let me on BET
Got labels in NYC
Got dimes in LA like CP3
When I fly to LA
Get high in LA
Know a couple chicks when I'm in LA
Paparazzi won't stop, stop, stop
All the cameras go pop, pop, pop
I found me and got lost in a big dream
Lost you and tryna' find you on a big screen
Now it's label offers
Money on the table, in the label office
But it's 'bout damn time
It's been ten albums, 'bout these hours
Man, it's been ten thousand
Paparazzi won't stop, stop, stop
All the cameras go pop, pop, pop

[Hook: Russ]
I don't give a fuck what these hoes don't like
I don't give a fuck what these dudes don't like
I don't give a fuck what you don't like
I can still be a celebrity overnight
I can drive cars that you wanna' ride
I can fuck bitches that you wanna wife
But fuck that shit, cause it's not real life
And neither is being a celebrity, overnight

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.
