[Chorus 1]
Yung God when I ride up (Ride up)
Not too many that can fuck with me (Fuck with me)
Never hung up on the bullshit
I can't afford that type of luxury
How'd I get so faded? (Faded)
How'd I get so faded? (Faded)
I'm 'bout to do a show in Paris
I swear I'm feelin' like I made it

[Verse 1]
Makin' deposits off of bein' a prophet
Turnin' visions into riches way too big for my pockets
Baby girl, I'm a star, I suggest you acknowledge
While you were scalin' out your pride I was weighing my options
Like ain't no room in my pictures for bitches, I end up croppin'
I've been movin' and flippin' and livin' life like I'm poppin'
I'm the young yacht owner, bitch, and I'm not sober
Yeah, they had me on probation but I'll be done in October, come on

[Chorus 2]
You don't have to love me
Love me (Ah-ooh)
But you gon' have to fuck with me
Fuck with me (Ah-ooh)
You don't have to love me
Love me (Ah-ooh)
But you gon' have to fuck with me
Fuck with me (Ah-ooh)

[Chorus]
Yung God when I ride up (Ride up)
Not too many that can fuck with me (Fuck with me)
Never hung up on the bullshit
I can't afford that type of luxury
How'd I get so faded? (Faded)
How'd I get so faded? (Faded)
I'm 'bout to do a show in Paris
I swear I'm feelin' like I made it

[Verse 2]
Society tryna reduce me to simplicity
But little do they know that I'm designed by the divinity
Not wrapped up in your rules, I'm intertwined with the infinity
Baby, close your eyes, you'll realize that you're feelin' me
Sip G-I-N, flip these problems
Flip these hoes into sixteens, ah shit

[Refrain]
How'd I get so faded? (Faded)
How'd I get so faded? (Faded)

[Chorus 2]
You don't have to love me
Love me (Ah-ooh)
But you gon' have to fuck with me
Fuck with me (Ah-ooh)
You don't have to love me
Love me (Ah-ooh)
But you gon' have to fuck with me
Fuck with me (Ah-ooh)

[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh yeah
Yeah
Yeah

[Chorus 2]
You don't have to love me
Love me (Ah-ooh)
But you gon' have to fuck with me
Fuck with me (Ah-ooh)
You don't have to love me
Love me (Ah-ooh)
But you gon' have to fuck with me
Fuck with me (Ah-ooh)

Russ

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.
