[Pre-Hook: Russ]
Baby girl your dead
Death by your disguise
Society got you fucked up
Living in a lie
Just remove that mask
Take off all that make up
Come up here and kick it with the realest
I can take ya'
To the other side
It's really do or die
Ye-eh-eahh
All I can promise
Is you're not alone
Yeah

[Hook: Russ]
All my angels fly
All around me
All my angels fly
All around me

[Refrain: Russ]
I think the world needs help
And I think uh
I think dudes
America is catered to you
The world is catered to you so
Excuse me while I talk to these uh
Females again

[Pre-Hook: Russ]
Baby girl your dead
Death by your disguise
Society got you fucked up
Living in a lie
Just remove that mask
Take off all that make up
Come up here and kick it with the realest
I can take ya'
To the other side
It's really do or die
Ye-eh-eahh
All I can promise
Is you're not alone
Yeah

[Hook: Russ]
All my angels fly
All around me
All my angels fly
All around me

[Outro: Russ]
Yeah
This is what it sounds like
When the storm
Meets the calm
Right before you pop

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.
