[Chorus]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh (Mmh)


[Verse 1]
Yeah, you feelin' trapped
Both your parents left you
Momma's in Columbia
Daddy don't respect you
So you been a gypsy
Since you were like 16
Yeah, you been homeless
Affects you in ways you don't notice
Goin' through the motions
No one there to guide you
Go ahead light the weed
Play some shit that you can ride to
Never lettin' out
What's really deep inside you
But baby I can slide through
I can help you find you

[Chorus]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh


[Verse 2: Russ]
Now you finally found someone
Who loves you just for who you are
Knows that you've been through some shit
Knows that you've been pushed too far
Still he's trying to pull you
Otherwise you back up
Cause your self conscious is fuckin' up
Tell that bitch "back up"
But you continue like a nomad to the next house
Moved in with the dude so he can trust you
Yeah, he left now
Lookin' for the blame
Quit playin' the role of a victim
Be the products of your thoughts
Not a product of the system
Got me sayin'

[Chorus]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh

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.
