[Chorus]
Uh, please don't you ask me if you think what I'm doing is right
'Cause even if I'm wrong I'll be gone, I'll be gone my whole life
Mom said "Settle down, settle down, settle down, settle down settle down"
Mom said "Settle down, settle down, settle down, settle down settle down"

[Verse 1]
Let's just take a step back (Back, back)
As we sip on this cognac (Gnac, gnac)
We don't know what, what we're doing
We don't know what, what we're doing
So let me hear my name (Name)
Don't you worry 'bout a fucking thing (Thing)
'Cause I know what I'm doing
'Cause I know what I'm doing

[Chorus]
Uh, I say please don't you ask me if you think what I'm doing is right
'Cause even if I'm wrong I'll be gone, I'll be gone my whole life
Mom said "Settle down, settle down, settle down, settle down settle down"
Mom said "Settle down, settle down, settle down, settle down settle down"

[Verse 2]
Where are you going?
Why are you leaving?
You know that you know me
As soon as you leaving, woah
You told me your secret, oh
I didn't even believe it, so
I know I was wrong to begin
But listen to my songs make amends (Uh)

[Chorus]
Uh, I say please don't you ask me if you think what I'm doing is right
'Cause even if I'm wrong I'll be gone, I'll be gone my whole life
Momma said "Settle down, settle down, settle down, settle down settle down"
Momma said "Settle down, settle down, settle down, settle down settle down"

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I swear to God I'm thrown off a couple different liquors
Four to be exact
And I still think my sister is in kindergarten
Even though she's 'bout to drive cars
Test drive my dad's Cadillac (Yeah)
My God, where the fuck did time go? (My mind's blown)
I remember when you was a knee high (High, damn)
Now you out in high school tryna just get by(Ooo)
Uh, my [?]
My [?]

[Chorus]
Uh, I say please don't you ask me if you think what I'm doing is right (Yeah)
'Cause even if I'm wrong I'll be gone, I'll be gone my whole life
Mom said "Settle down, settle down, settle down, settle down settle down"
Mom said "Settle down, settle down, settle down, settle down settle down"

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.
