[Intro: Russ]
Yeah

[Verse 1: Russ]
Mama wants to go out break bread
Told her that I need to take a gun, they want me dead
She don't want no part of that, told her it's a part of this
Almost has a heart attack every time I acknowledge it
Told her that I'm sorry, it's just how it goes
But even if they take me out this life, they can't take me out this soul
I could never fold, I'ma go harder than ever
I'ma make it through the pain, I'ma weather the weather
Go to Bali just because, buy Ferraris just because
Blow a hundred, leave a fuckin' Maserati in the club
Just because I'm alive, I'ma own it
Memories are just the times we recognized the moment
So I'ma take the jet to Vegas, put my family on it
Appreciate the people that you got while you can hold 'em
It ain't about your lay up log or your designer
We shouldn't need no wake up call, fuck a reminder (Yeah)

[Chorus: Russ]
Sometimes something happens and you hope that it's just one time
At least your foot is on the gas, you know it's crunch time
I think we'll always feel like we don't have enough time
So, foot on the gas (On the gas)
On my mama, swear to God I'ma ball
Keep my foot on the gas (Gas)
'Cause you'll never know when your number's called

[Post-Chorus: Russ]
Mix Henny with the juice, leave my life in the booth
Point blank with the truth, that's me
Love yourself, make a move, to yourself, you should prove
Fuck the rest, let 'em snooze, let 'em sleep

[Verse 2: Devin The Dude]
And live life to the fullest
Try not to let it end with a knife or a bullet
'Cause there's no sequel
If you wanna stay peaceful, you hang around positive people
Somebody who needs you would truly be hurt
Cryin' while identifyin' a bloody t-shirt
You gotta put me first, that means you, mayne
You only live once, don't be a dunce, dawg, do things
Get fired up like butane, get up and get out
Doin' something that's holdin' you back? Cut that shit out
What you fussin' about? Complainin' changes nada
I know I'm not your father but you gotta try harder, 'cause

[Chorus: Russ]
Sometimes something happens and you hope that it's just one time
At least your foot is on the gas, you know it's crunch time
I think we'll always feel like we don't have enough time
So, foot on the gas (On the gas)
On my mama, swear to God I'ma ball
Keep my foot on the gas (Gas)
'Cause you'll never know when your number's called

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.
