[Intro]
Legend
People keep talkin'
I don't believe (yeah)

[Chorus]
I do whatever I want, whenever I want, I love it
People keep talkin', I just keep winning
I'm just like "Fuck it"
They talkin' reckless, I don't believe 'em, I think they're bluffin' (They just be talkin')
They just want clout, I'm just so poppin'
I'm just like "Fuck it"

[Verse 1]
Everybody tryna get a rise out of me (yeah)
Ex girls tryna get a "Hi" out of me (yeah)
I don't talk back 'less you're worthy (no)
Hangin' plaques up like jerseys (sauce)
25 actualized, I'm me
My family relies on me
Treat 5 stars like my home though
Walk around in slippers and robes though
They ain't upholding the code, the industry full of some hoes
They lettin' like anything go
People are shady as fuck
I keep to myself, but I feel the energy though
None of these people are friends to me though
I don't put anything past them
I don't see none of y'all next to me though
I think they mad that I passed them

[Chorus]
I do whatever I want, whenever I want
I love it (woo, woo)
People keep talkin', I just keep winning
I'm just like "Fuck it"
They talkin' reckless, I don't believe 'em, I think they bluffin' (they just be talkin')
They just want clout, I'm just so poppin'
I'm just like "Fuck it" (yeah, yeah)
I do whatever I want, whenever I want
I love it (woo, woo)
People keep talkin', I just keep winning
I'm just like "Fuck it"
They talkin' reckless, I don't believe 'em, I think they bluffin' (they just be talkin')
They just want clout, I'm just so poppin'
I'm just like "Fuck it" (yeah)

[Verse 2]
I been goin' hard on my Kobe number 8 shit
Course they're gonna hate but I signed up for greatness
That comes with the territory, ain't no way around it, I know that
I been way up in the Hills reflectin', I cannot go back
Beverly Hills, skyline view
I move smart, got a high IQ
Right next to me where you find my crew
All of them fight, bitch, I fight too
Highlight moves every time I play
I get what I want every time I pray
I be doin' good but they don't wanna talk about it
If you really got a gripe with my life I say–

[Chorus]
I do whatever I want, whenever I want
I love it (woo, woo)
People keep talkin', I just keep winning
I'm just like "Fuck it"
They talkin' reckless, I don't believe 'em, I think they bluffin' (they just be talkin')
They just want clout, I'm just so poppin'
I'm just like "Fuck it" (yeah, yeah)
I do whatever I want, whenever I want
I love it (woo, woo)
People keep talkin', I just keep winning
I'm just like "Fuck it"
They talkin' reckless, I don't believe 'em, I think they bluffin' (they just be talkin')
They just want clout, I'm just so poppin'
I'm just like "Fuck it" (yeah)

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.
