[Intro: Russ]
Yeah
Take uuhh, the vacation, yeah
Rrreebah
Yeah

[Chorus: Russ]
So tell me, tell me, why
Tell me where we live, where we die
Tell me what we do, how high, how high
Now tell me, tell me, woah
Tell me when we stop when we go
This is for the ones who don't know
This is for the ones who don't know

[Bridge: Russ]
I think I'm growing wings
Imma be a king
Let me just think
Let me just drink

[Verse 1: Russ]
I got my states
She had them boots on running after Marta
Just a good king running from bad karma
One mans start is the same mans armor
No I can't ignore what I need what I wanna'

[Bridge: Russ]
I think I'm growing wings
Imma be a king
Let me just think
Let me just drink

[Chorus: Russ]
So tell me, tell me, why
Tell me where we live, where we die
Tell me what we do, how high, how high
Now tell me, tell me, woah
Tell me when we stop when we go
This is for the ones who don't know
This is for the ones who don't know

[Verse 2: Bugus]
Bugus in this bitch gotta' hundred blunts rolled
Salute to the Kings I need twenty one mo'
So you can love me, you can hate me now

[Bridge: Russ]
I think I'm growing wings
I'ma be a king
Let me just think
Let me just drink
I think I'm growing wings
I'ma be a king
Let me just think
Let me just drink

[Chorus: Russ]
So tell me, tell me, why
Tell me where we live, where we die
Tell me what we do, how high, how high
Now tell me, tell me, woah
Tell me when we stop when we go
This is for the ones who don't know
This is for the ones who don't know

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.
