[Chorus]
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on

[Verse 1]
Yeah, on a flight back from New Jersey
My grandpa just turned 90, might be the last time that I've seen him
Might be the last time I believe in
Something lost in these blacks
On a red eye feeling bluesy
Talking to my grandpa, it's like he's looking right through me
Like he never even know so me and my cousin blowing kush
My grandpa's got the shakes, it's got my whole family shook
Damn what we 'gon do?
I think I need more time
I wish I had more time

[Chorus]
And let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on

[Verse 2]
Macivan says she's choosing and I'm not feeling choosy
But she associates with losers
That's when she started to lose me
Loosey goosey in this hoopty woopty fucking do
Roomkey with a blunt or two
Or three, or four, or five, or six
Damn, I'm pissy drunk, she's high as shit
DK telling me that the feds don't want this
Damn, and let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
Why you fucking with all the bums man?
You just doing you wrong

[Chorus]
And let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on

[Verse 3]
You call me selfish, you call me as**ole
I might be helpless but I help you
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
To help myself, man I need to be strong (Yeah)
Yeah, on a flight back from New Jersey
Grandpa just turned 90, might be the last time that I've seen him
Might be the last time I believe in
Something lost in these blacks
On a red eye feeling bluesy
Talking to my grandpa, it's like he's looking right through me
Like he never even know so me and my cousin blowing kush
My grandpa's got the shakes, it's got my whole family shook
Damn what we gone do?
I think I need more time
I wish I had more time

[Chorus]
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on
Let's get one thing straight, this takes too long
I need 3 wishes for this word I'm on

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.
