[Intro]
Back to it, yeah

[Verse 1]
Okay, it's all you, double
Yes I'm trouble
Yes I'm next and so's my huddle
Driving through this tunnel fast as I can, with no map or buckle
Even though we've lost some lives we're still tryna find ours
Any second your 15 minutes could turn into your final hour
I'm spying cowards dressed as captains
Getting passes off the words and not the actions
What the fuck is happening? (What the fuck is happening?)
Yeah, yeah, long hair

[Verse 2]
Yo Jeesh, what the fuck you on?
Wrapped up in these visions of what tomorrow might be
Cruising 'round a small town, nothing here excites me
So I might be speeding, dreaming, headed to my refuge
By the time the futures the present
I've been thinking about the next move
LA for the summer, hopefully I'm never coming back
'Til I've got plaques, enough racks to buy a matte black
Gotti for my little sister, big dreams with a little liquor
Haha, yeah

[Chorus]
Ohh, I know that it's coming
'Til then I'm living
Ohh, don't you worry 'bout a damn thing
I got you

[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, just put this shit right
Dum-ditty, dum-dum, way out
Dum-ditty, dum-dum-dum, way out
Dum-ditty, dum-dum, ditty-dum
Yeah

[Verse 3]
You know I'm smooth like a mobster
Motherfuckers hating 'cause I got the
Juice 'cause I want it
Yeah, I'ma share it
"Be the voice and not the echo"
That's what my dad told me so I won't let go
Crew full of Kings so we smoking Sacramento
Pass around this Endo, getting high, then falsetto
Try not to get distracted by these stilletos with these chicas in them
But I'm sucker for Latinos so I'm deep up in them
Tryna find my reasoning, not finding anything
'Cause once they know you're getting everything they're down for anything, anything

[Outro]
Damn, I meant shit
DIEMON, yeah
Do it bitch

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.
