[Intro: Russ]
Shit
I'm stumblin'

[Verse 1: Russ]
And let's get one thing straight
Swear I hear my name
Bouncing off these 4 walls
Tryna' to make me go insane
So I watch the cookie crumble
My sanity's on vacation
I see these rookies fumble
And wonder, how they made it
And around this time I pour up
Fantasize about four sluts
Getting freaky on a tour bus
If life's a bitch, she's gorgeous
I just need a plug
Cause I already got my outlet
And I already found my fountain
And I'm 19 but who's counting?

[Chorus: Russ]
Okay I'm drinkin' now
And all this weed I'm smokin' got my thinkin' bout
What I don't know
What I don't see
Where I don't go
Where I don't leave
Okay I'm drinkin' now
And all this weed I'm smokin' got my thinkin' bout
What I don't know
What I don't see
Where I don't go
Where I don't leave

[Verse 2: Russ]
A plate may not be full
But it doesn't mean I'm not
I got this little sister
And I hate to see her cry
The tears are on her face
Swimming till they drop
I tell her it's okay
She says I'm all she got
I said, "Pick your head up, wipe your eyes
I know it's getting harder every day but life is life
You gonna' be okay, cause I said so
I've been down that road before
I've been down that road before"

[Chorus: Russ]
Okay I'm drinkin' now
And all this weed I'm smokin' got my thinkin' bout
What I don't know
What I don't see
Where I don't go
Where I don't leave
Okay I'm drinkin' now
And all this weed I'm smokin' got my thinkin' bout
What I don't know
What I don't see
Where I don't go
Where I don't leave

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.
