[Verse 1]
We've been knowin' about each other for a while now
Ain't no past we could have taken for this lifestyle
I had a girl, you had a man, but that was long ago
Evolvin' daily, please don't judge me off a song ago
I know you ain't gonna wait forever
I know that it's gonna take more effort
You ain't gotta tell me what I gotta do to prove it to you, I know

[Chorus]
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
(Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
(Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)

[Verse 2]
ATL, you're on call
I just toured, I just balled
I got time now, girl, I'm ready
You so fed up, you won't test me
You say I say that I'm busy
Way too much but you still miss me
I still fuck you, you still kiss me
Let all your resentment go

[Chorus]
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
(Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
(Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)

[Verse 3]
Yuh, I’ve been thirsty since before your water broke
I’ve been thirsty since before Tha Carter IV
You teach Spanish and you work nights in the club
Life is falling into place, but not in love
I'm still tryna see you even though I fucked already
I ain't kick you out even after I bust already
You think that I'll choose another woman over you
Fuck talkin', I'ma show you

[Chorus]
Baby take me serious (Fuck talkin', fuck talkin')
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
(Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
(Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)

[Outro]
(Fuck talkin', fuck talkin', fuck talkin', fuck talkin')
(Fuck talkin', fuck talkin', fuck talkin', fuck talkin')

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.
