[Chorus: Russ]
Oh, everybody knows
That nobody really knows
Yeah everybody knows

[Verse 1: Russ]
I walked right through your line of fire
Got hit by your bullets
Looking at your trigger finger
Hoping you don't pull it
But you did
So it is, what it is
I guess I'm wounded
But fuck that shit
Cause you lost out, I'm winning
Fuck you doing?
I got hits that deserve to be heard where the Knicks play
Like Patrick Ewing
And yeah I'm on probation
But I found the truth in this gin and juice
And I believe in the movement
I had to cut you off
You were getting too heavy
And I'm already holding the world
And I'm the one and I'm feeling too ready

[Chorus: Russ]
Oh, everybody knows
That nobody really knows
Yeah everybody knows

[Verse 2: Russ]
Yeah, idols popping off my walls
It's feeling like it's 3D
And I'm at home with my mom
Watching myself on the TV
Yeah and 'cause of what my dad went through
I gotta' do right
So many sirens have turned into silence
I just offer you life
There's something you should know

[Chorus: Russ]
Oh, everybody knows
That nobody really knows
Yeah everybody knows
Oh, everybody knows
That nobody really knows
Yeah everybody knows

[Outro: The Beatles]
She's got the devil in her heart

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.
