[Chorus]
I'm dealin' with a lot of pain
I don't know which way to go
Tell it all to go away
But it be comin' back for more
Mama, I've had enough, fix this
Sometimes it's just too much, fix this

[Verse]
I feel weak when I cry
But I just been strong too long
Please just make it stop, yea
Sleep is my only escape
From all of the pain
But I hardly ever sleep
'Cause I have nightmares daily, I feel crazy
Rock a fake smile, What I see is not what they see
New York City, I was ballin' in a penthouse
Never saw this comin', need to call my mom and vent now

[Chorus]
I'm dealin' with a lot of pain
I don't know which way to go
Tell it all to go away
But it be comin' back for more
Mama, I've had enough, fix this
Sometimes it's just too much, fix this

[Bridge]
Devil breathin' down my neck
I can't lie, I've thought about death
I think that I need to let go
Happiness is all that I show
What a show, what a show, what a show

[Chorus]
I'm dealin' with a lot of pain
I don't know which way to go
Tell it all to go away
But it be comin' back for more
Mama, I've had enough, fix this
Sometimes it's just too much, fix this

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.
