[Intro]
Ok, this cup in my hand got me loose
And this blunt's in demand while I'm standing in the booth
I'm just doing what I want, do you feel me?
Doing what I want, it's the real me

[Verse 1]
Got a little bit of liquor and a bag full of weed
Dance with my liver as I capture the beat
Drink slow, bring hoes, indoor
Windows down, when I wanna roll around on the street
That I blew upon, grew upon, blew upon, stop
Let me get a little bit of henny on the rock
So smooth, don't you wanna try what I've got
One more shot I'ma fly till I drop

[Chorus]
Hey I'm going up and I'm talking up, please don't hold me down
Keep rolling up, don't slow me up, this is going down
Whoa, light me up and let's hide out
Hide me up but don't tie me up, just ...and let's ride out like whoa

[Bridge 1]
To get you high up, into the fire higher place
Into the sky up, into the fire fly away
To get you high up, into the fire higher place
Into the sky up, into the fire fly away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I feel alright, alright
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I feel alright, alright

[Chorus]
Hey I'm going up and I'm talking up, please don't hold me down
Keep rolling up, don't slow me up, this is going down
Whoa, light me up and let's hide out
Hide me up but don't tie me up, just ...and let's ride out like whoa, ok let's go

[Break]
Ok, this cup in my hand got me loose
And this blunt's in demand while I'm standing in the booth
I'm just doing what I want, do you feel me?
Doing what I want, it's the real me

[Bridge 2]
I'm ...going up, while you steady going down
And I'm smoking blunts while I'm sipping on this brown
And everywhere I go I'm getting higher than you know
Every time I show up, I'm just flier than before

[Verse 2]
So great with my dutch though
Your shit...hoe
Don't get shit mixed up, better keep your bitch cuffed
By the time I ... though
And she can get a head of that
We at vip, you tryna get her back
But she leave with me, I'll take a hit of that
And you can pick her ass up, where I ...

[Chorus]
Hey I'm going up and I'm talking up, please don't hold me down
Keep rolling up, don't slow me up, this is going down
Whoa, light me up and let's hide out
Hide me up but don't tie me up, just ...and let's ride out like whoa

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.
