[Intro]
Guess I'm finally right here
Guess there's no turning back
Pop star of the year, still a god with the raps
Whole family know I got it, guess I'm too rich to hide it
There's no turning back, back, back

[Verse 1]
Couple million tucked away, 25 to touch the stage
When I'm in L.A I'm probably in a Bentley or a Wraith
People tryin to bring me down cause they see me goin' up
If you try and play my life I'm sending people with some guns
I don't fuck around with that, anybody can get touched
Got the family on my back, you fuckin 'round with the wrong one

[Hook]
Hope the people still relate but my music is my life and my life just changed but
There's no turnin back, no
Guess I'm finally right here
Guess there's no turning back
Pop star of the year, still a god with the raps
Whole family know I got it, guess I'm too rich to hide it
There's no turning back, back, back

[Verse 2]
Wonder where I'm flyin next
Got my dad on private jets
Everybody's got a number I might go and buy my ex
Sellin out across the globe, if you really want to know
I just made 8 figures and I'm talkin net not talkin gross
Not bad for a dropout, see me rollin in a droptop
I can't stop no not now, 10 years I finally got hot

[Hook]
Hope the people still relate but my music is my life and my life just changed but
There's no turnin back, no
Guess I'm finally right here
Guess there's no turning back
Pop star of the year, still a god with the raps
Whole family know I got it, guess I'm too rich to hide it
There's no turning back, back, back

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.
