[Verse 1]
Crazy ass flow, damn I'm a monster
Million from a beat, that's the feed it will cost ya
I'm that guy, I dont need the credits to prove it
I'm getting ahead of my music, you up for green but you blew us all
Maybe cause you knew us so you got past
It's for the green, only speed and my shots fast
I got a shot glass filled with the finest
The world added me and your bumbs got minus
Now I'm bout to climb this ladder to the stars
Henny bottle straight to the neck like scars
I stepped on Mars, so Earth hoes go away
I put blumbs up and watch the world rotate
And back in '08, me and bugies used to kick it
Maybe for the studio, we where shitting on your bitches
On the highschool team, have a highschool dreams
Never follow sue but the clues on screen, motherfuckers
Damn

[Verse 2]
I celebrate life, everytime I wake up
Thank god, I can breath and I ain't cuffed
You need to shape up, yeah at the line with your attitude
Go and hit the bank up, and get a sence of grattitude
I'm mad at you but glad at you and not me
I went and bought a couple diamonds at the swap-meet
Guess what it cost me, about an hour
Just because its stores doesnt mean it ain't a flower
Basically I'm saying that, half a mankind
Tries to be the judge but ain't trying do the time
I'm just tryna rhyme, only over my shit
Cause in my mind theres a fullblown marspit
Guess I gotta watch it, and record my observations
Ride it with the flow and then show the population
You lost your paychess, cause ain't a shit hot
I think it's time for operation on hip pop

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.
