[Chorus]
Windmill, windmill why so slow?
First we get high then we get low
The quicker you turn, the faster I go
I just want to know

[Bridge]
Move a little bit
Show me you can move a little bit
I really, really want you

[Verse 1]
I used to run a race against a ghost, until I stopped
I used to run a race against myself, I always lost
And I always had to watch, but now I'm tryna keep it simple
Never felt the love like I won that wimble-
Dawn of the shit, you're a pawn of this shit
I don't really care about you, carry on with your shit
We need bond in this bitch, gettin' on in this bitch
My sister growin' up too fast, bonds gettin' lit, shit

[Chorus]
Windmill, windmill why so slow?
First we get high then we get low
The quicker you turn, the faster I go
I just want to know

[Verse 2]
I swear you came around too often
I thought you were off him
And I think I just fell, and I'm lost then
Now you just tryna play with me
What the fuck kinda game is this?
What the fuck kinda game is this?
One, two, three, four
Show me that you want more

[Chorus]
Windmill, windmill why so slow?
First we get high then we get low
The quicker you turn, the faster I go
I just want to know
Windmill, windmill why so slow?
First we get high then we get low
The quicker you turn, the faster I go
I just want to know

[Outro]
Out here livin', out here breathin'
No cuts on my wrists, I got my freedom
I can just [?]
Just live, live, live
'Cause its boss conversation with my dad sippin' tequila
Talkin 'bout life, it doesn't get much realaaah'

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.
