[Intro]
Yeah
Yo, I'ma just write a letter the only way I know how, ya feel me?
I just hope y'all listen, for real

[Verse 1]
Alright
I just hope you don't forget, alright
I just hope you love me dead, alright
This might be my final kiss, alright
I just hope that I'll be missed, alright

[Chorus]
And if you reminisce
I hope you find some shit
That helps you benefit and alright
These are crucial times
I wish the pain in me committed suicide and alright

[Verse 2]
Let my Mom control my will, alright
Leave my friends with all a mill', alright
Tell them all, "It's not your fault," alright
Tell my fans they feel like God, alright

[Chorus]
And if you reminisce
I hope you find some shit
That helps you benefit and alright
These are crucial times
I wish the pain in me committed suicide and alright

[Verse 3]
Yeah, you know my stress stretches ZIP Codes
Tryna go 100 on E, tryna flip lows
Into muses, do what I do's
If deaths comes in threes then pain comes in twoses
Thank you Mom
You're the only thing that keeps me here
I bought depression on the low, but it wasn't cheap this year
I think I reached a tier where everyday I keep a tear
Tucked in the holster like I'm tryna conceal a piece in here
I need peace in here, I'll do whatever
On the road to finding happiness, I'll lose whatever
That's how I'm feelin' as of late, got a lot up on my plate
These are shoes I got exclusive, I don't expect you to relate
It’s not written on my face, nah, it's buried deep
They see me as strong, so I can't come off very weak
I been havin' scary dreams of death destruction and despair
I guess I'm lost tryna find someone who really cares
Damn, fuck

[Chorus]
And if you reminisce
I hope you find some shit
That helps you benefit and alright
These are crucial times
I wish the pain in me committed suicide and alright (Yeah)

[Outro]
Let my Mom control my will, alright
Leave my friends with all a mill', alright
Tell them all, "It's not your fault," alright
Tell my fans they feel like God, alright

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.
