[Verse 1]
Call my babe
I know that you want the fame
I got you dazed
Take you to the moment
Let you know I own it, yeah
I'm far away, take you so far away
Yeah, I part the waves
The world is our ocean
I don't know it but you're gone

[Chorus]
Give it to me
You know you wanna give it to me
Oh, give it to me
You know you wanna give it to me (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
I don't even know why I'm doing it
But I know why I'm not
My dad had it way harder
So I better make this pop
18, 2 kids, high school dreams flop
Sicilian inside my veins so I'm trained to be the Don
Lights on in this dark world
Fetish for these dark girls
Nubians and Mexicans
Peruvians and lesbians
Turn them into whatever I wanna
Treat this life like I don't have a sister
But they want me (Want me, want me)

[Chorus]
Give it to me
You know you wanna give it to me
Oh, give it to me
You know you wanna give it to me
Oh

[Verse 3]
Had to drop my girl
She ain't even know the half of it
Going after the world
At first I drop my bachelors
Hacking into this rap world
Since ten I've had the password
Fast-forward, I'm past-sober, wait, yeah

[Bridge]
I turned my bedroom to a wireless spaceship
Case-hit, days after shows, get laid
I turned my bedroom to a wireless spaceship
Case-hit, days after shows, get laid

[Chorus]
Give it to me
You know you wanna give it to me
Oh, give it to me
You know you wanna give it to me
Oh, give it to me
You know you wanna give it to me
Oh, give it to me
You know you wanna give it to me
Oh

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.
