[Intro]
Let me talk to 'em, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mom right
I be squarin' up on doubt like it's on sight
The better part of me is tellin' me it's alright, yeah
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mom right
I be squarin' up on doubt like it's on sight
The better part of me is tellin' me it's alright

[Verse 1]
Yeah
This is '06 motives with 2010 potions
I ain't have shit but my confidence and focus (Yeah)
Dice gang, I'm rollin' 'til I get seven
Givin' hell at eighteen, I'm smokin' 'til I reach heaven
Dropped out and the years that followed after
Could've made you think I should've stayed in school and finished
But 2016, became a multimillion rapper
Thank God I didn't live accordin' to y'all's vision
I never listened (Nah) to anything but my gut
From fifty dollars a week to two hundred thousand a month
This is off my fables, top-flight angels
My TuneCore is a top-five label
Before the fame and managerial figures
Stalkin' pictures on the wall like we were serial killers
Held the camera once or twice, and I edited too
When I speak, it's from experience of every shoe
Yeah

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna get my mind right (Yeah)
I did what I said I would, I got my mom right
I be squarin' up on doubt like it's on sight
The better part of me is tellin' me it's alright, yeah
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mom right
I be squarin' up on doubt like it's on sight
The better part of me is tellin' me it's alright

[Verse 2]
Yeah
This is ten years, six careers mastered by one
Watch your tone when you talk to me, these rappers are bums
When it comes to what I'm doing, or rather how much
I am your whole team, you should respect me as such
'97 Nissans to McLarens with trunks
In the front, I might pull up on my high school crush
Tryna fuck, course she is, make her walk barefooted in my house
I get the mouth when she sees the square footage, uh
I'm just playin' my cards, you would play 'em if you had 'em
Fourteen, makin' beats, friends laughin' at me
Askin', "What you think, you gon' be famous or somethin'?"
But I landed where I'm at 'cause I was aimin' for something
Y'all were aiming for nothin', guess it's fuck you for life
Even back then, I felt like it was fuck your advice, damn
I been me, yes, all the above
Before the hate, before the love
Man, I always been Russ, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mom right
I be squarin' up on doubt like it's on sight
The better part of me is tellin' me it's alright, yeah
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I did what I said I would, I got my mom right
I be squarin' up on doubt like it's on sight
The better part of me is tellin' me it's alright, yeah

Russ

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.
