[Verse 1: Russ]
Seer of the unknown, see me running towards it
Man chases boy, watch me as I floor it
I'm soaring, through the open cosmos
I got no Rubrik, I do this blindly
Woke up to the screams of my soul saying "Find me"
Splash some cold water on my face
Took a shot of something light
Living in and out the dark, spark blunts, get high
From the second-hand smoke, and the Nissan beat up
Breathing all this gas, I know my life's gonna speed up
Let the past pass, hope the future doesn't freeze up
Jesus, he's just Santa Claus to me
Someone tell the tooth fairy there's a monster in my sheets
So she better be discreet, but she's filling up my dreams
'Cause my cup is running over to the world of disbelief
And I don't need that, I leaned back, let the whisky wisp
Walk up to the edge, look around, then I enter, yeah

[Chorus: Russ]
Oh-oh, I'm drinking again
Oh-oh, not thinking again

[Verse 2: Russ]
Okay, I'm numb to the elements
Blunt for the medicine
Henny in my cup, and it's feeling like I'm better than
God, whoever that is
Trying to figure out just what the path is
Past is, wanna not know
But the color of the grass is
This mash shit, floating in my mind
Perching on my soul, like a butterfly on fun
At least that's what I tell people (Huh)
Ego is the real evil, ego is the real evil

[Chorus: Russ, Tyler Carter]
Oh-oh, I'm drinking again (Drinking again)
Oh-oh, not thinking again (Thinking again)

[Bridge: Russ]
Hanging on to belief, my fingertips
Are so numb that I don't feel my life
Don't wake me up, I'm just rolling around
And just floating until I get right

[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
Oh-oh, I'm drinking again
Oh-oh, not thinking again

[Outro: Tyler Carter]
In the moment, I get a little buzz
I get to feeling like a million bucks
'Cause I'm one of a kind, every time
I'm taking the pop job, I feel I'm in love
Jack-sipping, posse living in my other cup
Turn it up, giving life another uppercut
Any time, gotta rumble with the thunder strike
'Cause like lighting, I'm deciding to roll it up like a diamond

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.
