[Intro]
Yeah
I just wanna, yeah, yeah
I just wanna, mmm
Yeah, still goin'

[Chorus]
Woah, I don't wanna bitch
I just wanna help the people that I came up with
That includes my family, that includes my friends
If you not with us then don't pretend
Woah, I don't wanna bitch
I just wanna help the people that I came up with
That includes my family, that includes my friends
If you not with us then don't pretend

[Verse 1]
Uh, bitch tryna play me for a fool
Life's too good, I don't give a fuck
We don't really know what's up with you
Everybody know what's up with Russ
New sex symbol, plus he's rich
Does it himself, that young boy lit
Got a couple plaques, I just showed up
Give me some time, no rush
I ain't gon' lie, this patience paid its toll
Mmm, fuck my ex's, I got A-lists on my phone
Mmm, I got money but I spend it on the memories
I done piped up, I'm gon' be here for a century

[Chorus]
Woah, I don't wanna bitch
I just wanna help the people that I came up with
That includes my family, that includes my friends
If you not with us then don't pretend
Woah, I don't wanna bitch
I just wanna help the people that I came up with
That includes my family, that includes my friends
If you not with us then don't pretend

[Verse 2]
I keep to myself, I don't get too close to strangers
You might see me comin' but you cannot see the gangsters
That's all I'ma say, 100k when it's show time
I did this myself, I'm my own co-sign
Dropped so many singles, I ain't ever take a word break
You ain't hit a triple, lot of rappers born on third base
I just got plaques for my family and my friends too
Just to let them know success is possible for them too

[Chorus]
Woah, I don't wanna bitch
I just wanna help the people that I came up with
That includes my family, that includes my friends
If you not with us then don't pretend
Woah, I don't wanna bitch
I just wanna help the people that I came up with
That includes my family, that includes my friends
If you not with us then don't pretend

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.
