[Verse 1]
I've been outta state
You've been stuck in yours
It's not personal
When you call me and I ignore you, damn
I'm just tryna detach, detach
I rarely ever get time to relax
But when I do I'm just tryna rejuvenate, meditate

[Chorus]
But I fuck with you from a distance (yeah, oh)
I fuck with you from a distance (yeah)
I fuck with you from a distance

[Verse 2]
You want me to free time
To talk to you, but I
Only talk to you when I got free time
I guess that's the difference
Between Ms. and Mrs
You lookin' for someone who's got time

[Chorus]
But I fuck with you from a distance (yeah, oh)
I fuck with you from a distance (yeah)
I fuck with you from a distance

[Verse 3]
Yeah, she don't really care about the fame or the dollars
She be bad as fuck in a hoodie and some joggers
I be on the road ignoring all her FaceTimes
Not tryna break hearts, but I'm on my break time
I just did tours non-stop
Had girls on all fours and on top
I had sisters, I had cousins doin' freak shit
Now I'm tryna chill, smoke weed, make these hits
I know I promised
But sometimes shit pops up when you're poppin'
Damn, I know we text a lot
When I see you, best believe we having sex a lot
Connect the dots
Before you try and draw conclusions
Love is feeling like it's all illusions
I'm still young, lemme go through my phases
Lemme adjust, girl, I just got famous

[Chorus]
But I fuck with you from a distance (yeah, oh)
I fuck with you from a distance (yeah)
I fuck with you from a distance

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.
