[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm
Yeah
Man, this one's special right here, for real
(M-M-M-Murda)

[Chorus]
Cried so much (Woah)
I think that I'm out of tears (Fresh out, fresh out)
I can't lie, the pain's still here
Hug my mom (Woah)
Tell her not to have no fear (I got you)
I know you're hurt, but I'm right here

[Post-Chorus]
If you're checkin' up on me, then I gotta say, "Thank you" (Thank you)
Thank you (Thank you), thank you (Thank you, thank you)
Unless you're only checkin' up on me for a check
If you're checkin' up on me, then I gotta say, "Thank you" (Thank you)
Thank you (Thank you), thank you (Thank you, thank you)
Unless you're only checkin' up on me for a check

[Verse 1]
Yeah
I'm a public figure, so my privacy is compromised
It's like both of them are tryna harmonize
But one is always louder than the other
I don't think I know somebody prouder than my mother
So I gotta stay strong for me and her both
Took a couple losses, wish it hurt me the most, but it didn't
If you ask me what's wrong, I don't speak right
In the past week alone, watched her grieve twice
Two souls buried, so I try to come around more
Every day, weed and white wine around four
I ain't really trippin' though, I know she's a soldier
I hope that the pain gets light as Sammy Sosa
Grammy woke up yesterday as a widow, that's your parents
You're strong, but you're still just a human, that's apparent
And I'm scared of the potential of you spiralin' down
I was cryin' yesterday, but I ain't cryin' right now, yeah

[Chorus]
Cried so much (Woah)
I think that I'm out of tears (Fresh out, fresh out)
I can't lie, the pain's still here
Hug my mom (Woah)
Tell her not to have no fear (I got you)
I know you're hurt, but I'm right here

[Post-Chorus]
If you're checkin' up on me, then I gotta say, "Thank you" (Thank you)
Thank you (Thank you), thank you (Thank you, thank you)
Unless you're only checkin' up on me for a check
If you're checkin' up on me, then I gotta say, "Thank you" (Thank you)
Thank you (Thank you), thank you (Thank you, thank you)
Unless you're only checkin' up on me for a check

[Verse 2]
Yeah, given this grim situation
I'm tryna be the sun amongst this precipitation
Flippin' patience into people who hated
That send me DMs that say, "I knew you would make it"
I'll take it, given the alternative, I always said the truth
They got mad how I worded it, too bad (Haha)
They tried to vilify me
But that ain't stop these millions that be chillin' by me
Get a M & B like Joel
Since 2016, I managed two commas so well
Odell Beckham, how I'm stretchin' for my goal post
I was too open and let some hoes close
I got real-life problems, I don't care about tweets
Or the guilt and the bitterness that makes you not sleep
Oh well, bitch, I'm not entertaining drama
I'm focused on my mama and alleviatin' trauma, for real

[Chorus]
Cried so much (Woah)
I think that I'm out of tears (Fresh out, fresh out)
I can't lie, the pain's still here
Hug my mom (Woah)
Tell her not to have no fear (I got you)
I know you're hurt, but I'm right here

[Post-Chorus]
If you're checkin' up on me, then I gotta say, "Thank you" (Thank you)
Thank you (Thank you), thank you (Thank you, thank you)
Unless you're only checkin' up on me for a check
If you're checkin' up on me, then I gotta say, "Thank you" (Thank you)
Thank you (Thank you), thank you (Thank you, thank you)
Unless you're only checkin' up on me for a check

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.
