[Chorus: Russ]
I can't lie, I'ma get high tonight (So high)
I can't lie, I'am get loose (So loose)
Because I know someone died tonight
But I'm alive, this my proof (Yeah)

[Verse 1: Russ]
Life is getting pretty crazy, I can't lie (Can't lie)
Everything is starting to multiply (Multiply)
From the fans to the girls
To the self-expectations
From the money, but it's funny
'Cause my self feels amazin'
Dropped a couple thousand like that ain't nothing (That ain't nothing)
And it's funny cause that money really ain't nothing (Really ain't nothing)
But a smile on my mom's face, smile on Gianna's face
And I know the world is hungry but I got in my place

[Chorus: Russ]
I can't lie, I'ma get high tonight (So high)
I can't lie, I'am get loose (So loose)
Because I know someone died tonight
But I'm alive, this my proof (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Russ]
Yeah, think about you, hope that you different
I got tattoos, I'm not scared of commitment
I'm just listening to the universe, hoping I'm not missin'
'Cause sometimes thoughts are so loud I don't hear what it's whisperin', oh damn (Damn)
Woah-oh, yeah
And the cops rolled up and I'm on probation
And I don't really need that va-ca-ca-ca-ca-cation

[Chorus: Russ]
I can't lie, I'ma get high tonight (So high)
I can't lie, I'am get loose (So loose)
Because I know someone died tonight
But I'm alive, this my proof (Yeah)
I can't lie, I'ma get high tonight (So high)
I can't lie, I'am get loose (So loose)
Because I know someone died tonight
But I'm alive, this my proof (Yeah)

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.
