[Chorus]
I been feelin' paranoid
I been feelin' paranoid
Every day and everywhere I go
I been, I been feelin' paranoid (Yeah)
Pistol on my lap while I write this
Never thought I'd have to rap like this
Gotta watch my back, I'm strapped like this (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
I ain't gon' lie, every night I got stress
I ain't gon' lie, I be thinking I'm next
That's why I got a gun to the right and a gun down the hall
And a gun to the motherfucking left
That's why I got cameras all over the place
Fame ain't as glamorous as everyone thinks
Lot of people wanna see me gone
Plus I've had a lot of strippers from Atlanta all over my place
Brought a little on myself, oh well
And the joint that I'm smoking don't help
And the letters that I'm getting from the women I'm in bed with
Knew I should have fucked them at the hotel
Instead of havin' them pull up to the house
But like I said, I don't like going out
'Cause the times that we're in
Could have a good kid try to kill me for some likes and some clout

[Chorus]
I been feelin' paranoid
I been feelin' paranoid
Every day and everywhere I go
I been, I been feelin' paranoid (Yeah)
Pistol on my lap while I write this
Never thought I'd have to rap like this
Gotta watch my back, I'm strapped like this (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Thoughts in my head would put most in jail
Fame and the hate really don't mix well
If I get locked up, Milan post my bail
Gotta just chill, but I know myself
Liable to do somethin' nutty, uh
I don't give a fuck that's your buddy, uh
I need to meditate where it's sunny
And just hum like Cudi
Just stop for a second, slow down 'fore it gets too late
And I fuck around and drown off the waves that I made
I be ridin' 'round my town and I don't feel safe
Let alone when I'm out, let alone out of state
Everybody strapped up, everybody stressed out
Think my nerves are contagious
I be tryna play it cool but deep down I be feelin' like YG
Bitch, stay dangerous, c'mon

[Chorus]
I been feelin' paranoid
I been feelin' paranoid
Every day and everywhere I go
I been, I been feelin' paranoid (Yeah)
Pistol on my lap while I write this
Never thought I'd have to rap like this
Gotta watch my back, I'm strapped like this (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.
