[Intro: Russ]
Yeah
Just make sure it's not too loud, yeah

[Chorus: Russ]
When's the last time (Yeah), you looked up at the sky?
Between you and I
When's the last time you looked it in his eyes?
Until you think you fly
When's the last time you looked up at the sky?
Between you and I
When's the last time you looked it in his eyes?
Until you think you fly

[Verse 1: Russ]
We're buried in comparison of each other
Our sisters, mothers, fathers and our brothers, yeah
Yeah, we get caught up, we rob ourselves
Yeah, we block us, we stop ourselves
From being everything we could be
From being everything we should be (Let me let my hair down real quick, yeah)
This my Bible of detachment, you should see verse two (Yeah)
But for now, I think I'm too caught up in me versus you
I think we all are, regardless of a post, a quote a vote
I think we all stars
Born to cross the line like we got false starts
Songs are my way to really decompress
I hope you know that you're your greatest stock and reinvest
I redirect attention to the ones who don't get mentioned
The angels who protecting and the Gods who be directing, look up

[Chorus: Russ & Boogie]
When's the last time (Yeah), you looked up at the sky? (Yeah)
Between you and I
When's the last time you looked it in his eyes?
Until you think you fly
When's the last time you looked up at the sky?
Between you and I
When's the last time you looked it in his eyes?
Until you think you fly (Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)

[Verse 2: Boogie]
Hope you get your credit for your next scene (Hmm)
Hope regret ain't fillin' up your body when you breath leave (Hmm, hmm)
Hate that you ain't out here fetchin' dreams, shit a pet peeve, uh (Hmm, hmm)
Open road you set free, you can catch speed
Just so you can make it to the finish line (To the finish line)
You done hit your final lap in the nick of time (In a nick of time)
Pickin' through the good and bad, this shit so intertwined, uh
They got us forced to find ourselves, we gotta sit inside (Oh, oh, oh)
And lately shit been dry and I just wanna feel alive
If you take my picture, please just crop it on my better sides
If you put my face up on the screen, make it the biggest size, uh
Don't leave me minimized, no (Don't leave me minimized)
Don't want your pity, please don't sympathize
'Cause you the one that's threatened, unprotected
Scared you cut yourself, I know you sharp around the edges, uh
After floods we heal, know that's a necessary blessing
If you look up at the clouds, the sky could form into a message
That just led me to the question, when it—

[Chorus: Russ]
When's the last time you looked up at the sky?
Between you and I
When's the last time you looked it in his eyes?
Until you think you fly
When's the last time you looked up at the sky?
Between you and I
When's the last time you looked it in his eyes?
Until you think you fly

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.
