[Intro]
Yeah (Yeah, uh-huh)
Yeah (Yeah)
Every once in a while (Mhm)
You gotta unjade and just (Mhm)
Shake the snow globe (Yeah, c'mon)

[Chorus]
You ain't gotta cry no more, mama (No)
I did it (Haha, I did it)
And we don't gotta chase our dream no more, mama (Why?)
We live it (One more time)
You ain't gotta cry no more, mama (Yeah)
I did it (Haha, I did it)
And we don't gotta chase our dream no more, mama
We live it (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Smoking weed on ATVs while driving past the camels (Uh)
My mama's Instagram account looks like the travel channel (Facts)
Pyramid snapping from hearing me rapping (Haha), it happened
No obstacles because my faith starts steerin' me past 'em (C'mon)
I'm laughing because you hate me (Haha)
All because your girlfriend wants to fuck and CNN want to talk and tape me (Yikes)
It's crazy, I'm disregarding you
My mama's advice is energy wise, that I should put a jar on you (Trapped)
You can't get to me like nana's secret recipes
I'm somewhere on a yacht, tequila shots around the seven seas
Memories over money (Yeah), liquor over beer
If you can see it from the front you know it's bigger in the rear
Yeah, you know it's fat (Know it's fat)
I like my women built like Doja Cat, I told her that
Ain't no holding back, bitch, I'm lit, this is it
Everything that I shot for (Yeah)
I bought my mom the dream houses that she shopped for, yeah

[Chorus]
You ain't gotta cry no more, mama (No)
I did it (Haha, I did it)
And we don't gotta chase our dream no more, mama (Why?)
We live it (One more time)
You ain't gotta cry no more, mama (Yeah)
I did it (Haha, I did it)
And we don't gotta chase our dream no more, mama
We live it (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
I'm well-protected, well-dressed, well-invested
With a classic debut that's why I still rock the necklace (Yeah)
Still fuck my ex-bitch, don't worry, it be random
I can't help it, dawg, pussy hits different in the mansion (Ha)
Santorini tanning (Yeah), mama ordered baklava
Frank is out here introducing people to the octagon (Yeah)
I'm just tryna not piss off my neighbors and the soccer moms
I'm adding basketball courts and pools for the ambiance (Sheesh)
Let me live, I'm twenty-six, I'm on some rich shit
Models pulling up, we getting drunk, I made us gimlets
Write 'em off as business expenses, I'm pensive
'Cause when she say she fucks with me, I can't tell if she meant it (Tell the truth)
Fuck it (Fuck it), the whole city had it (True)
Gary Vee hittin' me, new investment, said, "Throw fifty at it" (True)
It all hit me when I got to call Nipsey
When Swizz Beats told me Alicia Keys told him that my mom's pretty (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
You ain't gotta cry no more, mama (No)
I did it (Haha, I did it)
And we don't gotta chase our dream no more, mama (Why?)
We live it (One more time)
You ain't gotta cry no more, mama (Yeah)
I did it (Haha, I did it)
And we don't gotta chase our dream no more, mama
We live it (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.
