[Intro: Shiloh Dynasty & Russ]
Tell, tell, tell, yuh (yuh)

[Chorus: Russ & Shiloh Dynasty]
Tell me why you're waiting
I don’t give a fuck 'bout
Tell me why you're waiting
I don’t give a fuck 'bout
Tell my why you're waiting for so long
Tell me why you're waiting, waiting

[Verse 1]
Watch you back up
Know you’re scared to love again
Every time you try, part of you just dies, you lookin dumb again
It’s so hard to trust again
So just like that you don’t (uh)
You 'gon just get drunk again roll up and fuckin' smoke (uh)
That one used to beat on you
That one used to cheat on you
The only one that cared, you ain’t believe him so he’s leavin you
Ain’t no family round you
Ain’t no friends that you can trust
Ain’t no love within yourself
But ain’t no way I’m giving up (come on)

[Chorus: Russ & Shiloh Dynasty]
Tell me why you're waiting
I don’t give a fuck 'bout
Tell me why you're waiting
I don’t give a fuck 'bout
Tell my why you're waiting for so long
Tell me why you're waiting, waiting

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I swoop in and do my thing against my better judgment
I could tell you been through hell you need some better loving
I see movin on is hard
I see nooses round your heart
I see bruises, I see scars
I see proof to wanna start over
But you can’t see past the pain
I swear your past got you enslaved girl, you can’t see past the chains
I try showin you and tellin you the love you deserve
But me lovin you won’t work until you lovin you first (damn)

[Chorus: Russ & Shiloh Dynasty]
Tell me why you're waiting
I don’t give a fuck 'bout
Tell me why you're waiting
I don’t give a fuck 'bout
Tell my why you’re waiting for so long
Tell me why you're waiting
I don’t give a fuck 'bout
Tell my why you're waiting for someone
Tell me why you're waiting, waiting

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.
