[Intro]
Yeah, hmm

[Chorus]
Nah, it can't be me (Woo)
Bein’ one of those ones, nah
Who doesn't get shit done, uh
Wonder why they never won, hmm
Nah, it can't be me, hmm (Woo)
Lettin’ time go to waste, nah, sittin' around all day, uh
Never makin' shit shake, nah
Nah, it can't be me

[Verse 1]
Gotta get it how I got it (Yeah)
Always on go, I ain't 'bout to start stoppin' (Yeah)
Family can't afford for me not to be poppin’ (Yeah)
Rich is in the mind, not in your wallet
So I gotta keep my mind right (Yeah)
So that my stars align (Yeah, ayy)
Mix a little passion with persistence (Uh)
Next thing you know you got listens (Uh)
Next thing you know you got riches (Now, now)
These are for the ones that say, "Look, I’m next"
All life long, gotta keep your foot on necks (Uh)
Lead by example if you wanna put the people on the around you
Better make sure you put on best (Hmm)

[Chorus]
Nah, it can't be me (Woo)
Bein’ one of those ones, nah
Who doesn't get shit done, uh
Wonder why they never won, hmm
Nah, it can't be me, hmm (Woo)
Lettin' time go to waste, nah, sittin’ around all day, uh
Never makin' shit shake, nah
Nah, it can't be me

[Verse 2]
You been with somebody for probably longer than cool (Yeah)
You been gettin' comfortable, somethin' you shouldn't do
In your twenties now, money now, seems to be a goal (Yeah)
Girl puttin' pressure on you seems to take a toll
Got a job now, tryna call out 'cause you miserable
Livin' for you and her, you ain't livin' individual (Yeah)
So you die a little inside each day
Keep pushin' dreams back like release dates
Now you start to resent her, oh, no
You've been with it for decade, but you feelin' solo (Yeah)
Plus, her mom's on your back, and your palms need a scratch
And you really tryna leave JoJo (Yeah)
But you in too deep, so you cheat
Yeah, it's weak, but at least you got a ladder out the shit (Yeah)
Tryna start a family, she been askin' for it
Man, I really can't imagine this shit (Hmm)

[Chorus]
Nah, it can't be me (Hell no)
Bein' one of those ones, nah
Who doesn't get shit done, uh
Wonder why they never won, hmm
Nah, it can't be me, hmm (Woo)
Lettin' time go to waste, nah, sittin' around all day, uh
Never makin' shit shake, nah
Nah, it can't be me (Woo)

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.
