[Intro: Russ]
Look around your circle, is there some love in these people?
Do you pass around inspiration or just a blunt with these people?
Do you pour up each other’s dreams or just get drunk with these people?
Shit, when you gonna learn you’re fucking up with these people?

[Chorus: Russ]
You should look around
See what’s going down
It’s probably time to find a new home
Same sad song, lasted too long
I think it’s time to find a new home

[Verse 1: Russ]
If I called you a bitch
If I bruised you all up
If I treat you like shit
Would you give it all up?
Would you come fuck with me?
Would you cut off the fat?
AKA, the lifesuckers that are all on your back
You get in my car
I see your black eye
Imma' go far
But I still ask why, you
Fucking with dudes
That don’t fuck with you
I mean, they tell you that they love you, but they just love what you do
I’m talking ass clapping
While they hit it from the front
They just backstabbing
And yo ass laughing
Tryna' brush it off, like
It’s cool whatever man
I tell her, he’s raining on your sunshine
I’m the motherfucking weatherman

[Refrain: Russ]
She just saying
Rain on me
I don’t feel shit
Put the pain on me
Weight on me
Come and show me love
Just don’t hate on me
But I tell her...

[Bridge: Russ]
Look around your circle, is there some love in these people?
Do you pass around inspiration or just a blunt with these people?
Do you pour up each other’s dreams or just get drunk with these people?
Shit, when you gonna learn you’re fucking up with these people?

[Chorus: Russ]
You should look around
See what’s going down
It’s probably time to find a new home
Same sad song, lasted too long
I think it’s time to find a new home

[Verse 2: Russ]
Okay, I’m acting off empathy
Yeah, chica you tempting me
Yeah, we crash into our lives, doing 85, with this Hennessy on my lap
I’m picking you up from your exes
He’s mean mugging blowing O’s
I’m still tryna' get next, shit
No I’m not, that’s my mind
Hold up, let me get this straight
Hold up, let me get it right
Hold up, let me just wait, damn

[Refrain: Russ]
She just saying
Rain on me
I don’t feel shit
Put the pain on me
Weight on me
Come and show me love
Just don’t hate on me
But I tell her...

[Bridge: Russ]
Look around your circle, is there some love in these people?

Do you pour up each other’s dreams or just get drunk with these people?
Shit, when you gonna learn you’re fucking up with these people?

[Chorus: Russ]
You should look around
See what’s going down
It’s probably time to find a new home
Same sad song, lasted too long
I think it’s time to find a new home

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.
