i always knew...

LYRICS : 

Always knew I had to put in work
Always knew that this was gonna work
Always knew that I'd bring home the bands
Always knew that I'd become the man
I always knew that second guessing was the opposite of truth
I bet my future on my faith
And let myself do what I do
Now my gambles looking like
They weren't gambles after all
I always knew I always knew
Yea I always knew

Shows overseas and they sold out
Made your girl bring the hoe out
Lotta people tryna get in contact
Lotta people tryna get a contract
Cuz they want my name on a X
I ain't gonna lie yea I think about my ex
I ain't gonna lie yea I think about the checks
I ain't gonna lie yea I think I got next
Always been the one my fam turned to
Skeptics Imma convert you
Give your girl something she can twerk to
I always knew what rap star perks do
Always knew they'd all start callin
Always knew I'd have a lotta options
Always knew the money was a sure thing
Always knew I'd make the whole world sing

Always knew I had to put in work
Always knew that this was gonna work
Always knew that I'd bring home the bands
Always knew that I'd become the man
I always knew that second guessing was the opposite of truth
I bet my future on my faith
And let myself do what I do
Now my gambles looking like
They weren't gambles after all
I always knew I always knew
Yea I always knew

Always knew I couldn't trust nobody
Always knew I had to trust myself
Always knew they'd try and call me cocky
Always knew they didn't love themselves

Back in Atlanta and I'm workin
Always knew it'd paid off to be observant
Always knew I'd end up in a car with curtains
Always knew I'd elevate to a new version
Of my self
2.0
These shots so strong feel the recoil
Who's loyal?
I don't need two hands
Same ones I came in with
Oo yea

Always knew I had to put in work
Always knew that this was gonna work
Always knew that I'd bring home the bands
Always knew that I'd become the man
I always knew that second guessing was the opposite of truth
I bet my future on my faith
And let myself do what I do
Now my gambles looking like
They weren't gambles after all
I always knew I always knew
Yea I always knew

Always Knew (Prod. Russ)

i can tell...

LYRICS : 

I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it
I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it

I roll the dice with my life
I got a gambling problem
I got this movie I'm shooting
I need the cameras on me
In Atlanta I'm probably 
In the studio workin 
Or gettin blessed by Latinas
You know the usual service
I move with a purpose 
You know what it is
Boss shit
You see my name on the marquee
It's all biz
And you know what to do when the don walks in
I said you know what to do when the don walks in

I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it
I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it

Tryna figure out what the fuck I spent 10 g's on
But fuck it
Back to sippin till the hennys gone 
My bucket
Hoes love it
I got 10's in my Nissan
Imagine when I got the president rollie on
Gotta Puerto Rican
Tryna get her freak on
But Imma world traveler so I might be overseas 
On some spreading out my wings shit
30,000 feet sippin gin with my kings talkin king shit

I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it
I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it

I know you see me from a distance
You didn't believe now you do
Makes me think it's a 
Money thing, money thing, money thing, money thing

I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it
I can tell you wanna come say somethin
You should go ahead and stop pretending
I wake up feelin richer than my last day
And go to sleep still tryna get it

I Can Tell (Prod. Russ)

you aint heard of shit like that?!

LYRICS : 

You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it
You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it

I maneuver 
I can smell the gouda
Me and Bugus got plans to sell out Abuja
Girls catchin feelings
I ain't even throw shit
I just pay attention to the signs like a protest
If not me then who
If not now then when
Smoking by the pound
Getting paid by the yen
Baby girl I'm global
In and out of zip codes
Make a lotta noise when I move
I don't tip toe
Dreams too big
I don't like small talk
We thank god oh
Yea ahka
Give your girl vodka
Now she acting single
Yea shit like that
She know the lingo
Lookin at life thru the windshield
Not thru the rear view
I've been turning up my life
I don't hear you
Steer thru the doubt
How I'm feeling lately
I'll never feed a mouth talkin crazy

You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it
You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it

hit the runway like its fashion week 
put in work like a slave
made a masterpiece
still dark as night 
came alive in PM
African but i drive european
people gotta squint
my future is blindin
im like Watch! its all about timing
flight so long that I picked up a hobby
my Volvo feel like a Bugatti
accounts in the red like the 96 bulls
needed just push
now I got pull
now I might take a white girl out to Lagos
sit and talk about race like its Talladega
even though it dragged my formula 1
lf i take an L ill b smokin a blunt
from the sound we won like singles
outta town run wild like gringos

You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it
You aint heard of shit like that?!
Workin all night you know shit like that 
Cuttin people off you know shit like that
Not enough money but I spend it anyway tryna make it


Shit Like That (Feat. Bugus) (Prod. Russ)

lets play whos gon be here in a decade...

LYRICS : 

I'm cool on your opinion of my strategy
Phone full of women all mad at me
Cuz they ain't on my mind like they use to
Cuz I ain't got the time that I use to
Money tight as usual but it's cool because it's comin
And I don't ever follow yo strut
I don't ever follow money
I just follow my gut
Now they followin russ
Yea ya boys gettin bigger now
Yall careers dying start pouring out the liquor now
Been at this since 06
Before it started bein cool to drop albums with no hits
I'm out here comin for all of it
I want all the acknowledgment
I want all the accomplishments
I want cars that's astonishing
Plus the house that my mamas in
Should be big as a continent
I make good on my promises
50 bitches to party with
Man the world is my audience
I'm just tryna give my statement
Billboard from a basement
The type of focus where you wonder where the day went
But do it all again
How to be a millionaire
It's getting harder to call a friend
Too many hidden agendas
You 50/50 with your character
My life is on the line
So theres gon always be a barrier
Between me and most
I never let em too close
With the girls it's no different
I can't be fallin for hoes
That's why I keep to myself
I stay recording tryna upgrade
My life to the nights full of lights cash and runways
I haven't had a Monday since 18
I knew in high school I could go pro like KG
Lately it's been lookin like I made the right decision
Found my way outta the dark I gotta flash light vision
If her ass right but the face left
Then I'm dippin
I needa chick 3 for 3 like pippen
Hang my jersey up
It's worthy of the rafters
I know their game I ain't worried bout these rappers
It's too predictable now
It's so political now
And Im sorry if I sound a little cynical now
It's just that most my favorite rappers are invisible now
Everyday I make a song that's just habitual now
Ain't nobody gonna do it like me
Ain't nobody gonna fill the void I see but me so here I go
12 shots
Like the cops now I'm wasted
It's in the blood of America to be racist
Land of the taken
Home of the cover it all up and don't say shit
Act like it ain't happen
Cut copy paste it
And put it on every channel doesn't matter if you change it
I'm off it tho
It ain't where I've gone
It's where I've gotta go
I tell these local girls what they wanna know
Never fuck em twice cuz I won't be there to catch em
Self belief and a passion this is the natural reaction
I just be singing these ballads
Like a Yung Mike Bolton
Sprewell with the raps
Tho like russ might choke him
Keep a few eyes open
I'm everywhere I'm omnipresent
Wired with the drive of a bugatti engine
I've been running non stop since 14
Ain't no time to slow up
Man I need more beats
Even tho I got 500 sittin in a playlist
I'm startin to realize that the money won't change shit
I'm startin to realize that yalls basic ain't my basic
On the plane to the A making a list of all the shit matters
Yalls opinions didn't make it
Bout to be a A list celebrity
Wife me up a singer
Hope she gotta accent
Hope she drinks liquor
Board of advisors I can count on 4 fingers
Leave the middle one open
To let you know I ain't sweet
Been a shepherd my whole life
I can't relate to the sheep
It's a shame you asleep
But I'm about to make your bed shake
Bow down to me I'm the sensei
Let's play who's gon be here in a decade
Lotta yall are barely even making it to the next day

10 Year Freestyle (Prod. Russ)

shoutout mouf & shyrene for the hotel studio hook up in Tampa

LYRICS : 

When I roll up I aint gotta say too much I'm good
I'm good
When I roll up better act the way you fuckin should
You should
When I roll up I aint gotta say too much I'm good
I'm good
When I roll up better act the way you fuckin should
You should

If only you could see me now
You would wanna press rewind
Everybody is a star
Some just don't know how to shine
I've been DIY forreal
I've been makin myself hot
Women throw themselves at me
All your girlfriends getting caught
I just take it as it comes
Gettin bigger by the day
I just focus on the signs
You should probably do the same
Ain't no tellin when I'm poppin
But I know it's coming soon
You can feel it in the air
When I step into the room

When I roll up I aint gotta say too much I'm good
I'm good
When I roll up better act the way you fuckin should
You should
When I roll up I aint gotta say too much I'm good
I'm good
When I roll up better act the way you fuckin should
You should

I've been wrapped up in myself
I've been living like a mummy
Self belief unlocked the door
On the other side is money
I believed and got it crackin
I ain't need to see it happen
Making something outta nothing
You could say I'm doing magic
I might lose myself in this
But I'll always be a winner
Feelin stronger than this gin
This is something for your liver
Confidence mixed with ambition
Everything will fall in place
What I think about I bring about
I never have to chase

When I roll up I aint gotta say too much I'm good
I'm good
When I roll up better act the way you fuckin should
You should
When I roll up I aint gotta say too much I'm good
I'm good
When I roll up better act the way you fuckin should
You should

The Formula (Prod. Russ)

i bet you wont...

LYRICS : 

I dare you to come and try it
But nobodys shaking round here
Yes I got it so you want it 
But I aint see you here last year
Bet you wont try it 
No no
I bet you wont try it

Your favorite rapper cant fuck with with me 
Girls fall in love with me
Childhood dreams yea I'm fightin for my custody
Theres one of me theres a lotta you
Listenin to the radio and its probably you
But who are you I dont even think you know
They dont believe that I plan it like Pluto
Im interrupting the conversation
Enough with the observations
Im fuckin up the structure
Standin up for the population
Its real shit comin thru your playlist
Family needs food
Bills need payments
But i see money in the bank with my name on it
Rearranging rules yea im changing up the game on ya
I gotta chip that weighs the size of a brick 
I might flip and do some shit thats gonna help me get rich quick
This aint a thing you should try 
I protect this with my life 
Cuz my life is what i gave
For my life I would die

I dare you to come and try it
But nobodys shaking round here
Yes I got it so you want it 
But I aint see you here last year
Bet you wont try it 
No no
I bet you wont try it

All this time in between got me anxious 
Family lookin at me like save us
I gotta get to where im going now oh oh
Steppin up to the plate when they need me
This is what i practiced for
This is what im asking for for for for
I made my name get bigger
Stayed with my faith like liquor up in my vains
My trigger fingers my brain
I figured i should do me
Lookin back I was blinded by what i really couldnt see
23 im so happy i didnt blow at 17
They be stupid
I dont play against you 
I play against the idea of me losing
See the blueprint i sketched out
I was right all along to let your opinions get left out

I dare you to come and try it
But nobodys shaking round here
Yes I got it so you want it 
But I aint see you here last year
Bet you wont try it 
No no
I bet you wont try it


Try It (Prod. Russ)

hope you recognize who you are and what you could do....

LYRICS : 

too many people just dying, and im not even talkin physically

Last week was Seattle
In two weeks itll be Denver
In between was New York City and Atlanta on my schedule 
Its apparent ive adopted a new lifestyle
Flyin round this country rackin up these fuckin skymiles
Got my girl back home feelin trapped straight suffocating
But dont you worry 
Cuz the moves that need to be made to break you out
Russ is making
And they tell me i should sing more
I just tell em cool yo
Thats why i dropped that How To Rob
And bit yalls hands like cujo 
I thought high school ended
But yall still playin daddys ball
So yall might blow up quicker
But yall wont stay up yall need adderall 
And half these magazines
And damn near all these writers
Are a bunch of fucking failed musicians talkin shit to spite us
But secretly they like us
So dont stick out your hand to me
Get back to your 9-5 and your class 
And watch me live your fuckin fantasy

Yall needa get up and get out now
Do something with all of your time
Hope you recognize who you are and what you could do
Hope that youre not lost in your mind
Yall needa get up and get out now
Do something with all of your time
Hope you recognize who you are and what you could do
Hope that youre not lost in your mind

My ex chick was a handful
Had to cut her off cuz i already got my hands full
Hate to break it to you 
But your shows been cancelled 
Russ taking over every channel
Ran thru some latinas in my area 
Just to clear my head real quick
Bout to fly to paris on a jet real quick
We use to study latin
Me and Bugus
Now we study actualizing dreams into cash and
Makin shit happen wassup

Yall needa get up and get out now
Do something with all of your time
Hope you recognize who you are and what you could do
Hope that youre not lost in your mind
Yall needa get up and get out now
Do something with all of your time
Hope you recognize who you are and what you could do
Hope that youre not lost in your mind

I treat this world like a canvas 
My mind is the paint brush
Fuck you and him and her
Yall motherfuckers aint Russ
Cant touch the young god
Feelin like an OG
Might as well hit the blunt 
Now where the fucks the OE 
Follow closely 
To the only
Motherfucker keepin it so me
Authentic
Short term
Beach house for my mom
Long driveway
Cars in it
Superstar vision while cigars spinning 
Imma phoenix how i walk in (joaquin) it
Recognized the fire embraced it then i walked in it
Rebirth when i walked thru it 
Sinatra smooth with a Pac vision
Pop vocals rock livin
Got caught slippin 
By the police had to ditch that bitch
God hittin my phone
Devil pullin up at my spot
Every once in a while they switch positions 
Just to flip flop on me
I could turn a paddle boat into a yacht homie
Only real ones let on board you better know me
Im the gilligan 
Feelin like I'm boutta cash out
Hair down middle fingers up with my ass out
My mind is the traphouse 
Man this bitch is bunkin 
Imma full time magician 
Turnin nothing into something 
Tell me what the fuck is up

Yall needa get up and get out now
Do something with all of your time
Hope you recognize who you are and what you could do
Hope that youre not lost in your mind
Yall needa get up and get out now
Do something with all of your time
Hope you recognize who you are and what you could do
Hope that youre not lost in your mind

to be honest....

LYRICS : 

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To be honest I'm tired of my family needin money
To be honest my visions always been twenty twenty
To be honest I'm questioning where your heart lies
To be honest America means apartheid
To be honest I fuck way too many chicks raw
To be honest Saudi King might cut my dick off
To be honest white people are some terrorists
To be honest I feel a way about sharing this
To be honest my patience is runnin thin so
To be honest imma keep dropping these singles
To be honest my debut is on my iPod
To be honest fuck all that I need the lights on
To be honest my house has been feelin homeless
To be honest I kicked it at Lyor Cohen's
To be honest everybody tryna poach me
To be honest know wassup when you approach me

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To be honest my fourth grade teacher was shady
To be honest I flushed the pills my therapist gave me
To be honest my teacher sucked my school was a mess
To be honest I gave no fuck I cheated on tests
To be honest with racism I know it still exists 
To be honest they hate niggas I see it in they grin
To be honest I love my girl she satisfies me
To be honest some other pussy looks appetizing
To be honest be for god I dont believe in religion
To be honest Uncle Sam is watching you like a pigeon
To be honest I shoulda called my cousin Chuka
He havin babies tbh I shoulda called him sooner
To be honest I just focus on the fundamentals
To be honest I just hope to reach my full potential
To be honest some things too mean to verbalize
Dick riders always get they dreams circumsized 

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To be honest I think I should put my phone down
To be honest I think I should put these hoes down
To be honest I'm high and I'm drunk and that's ok
To be honest I don't feel like payin sallie mae
To be honest I think all my idols lost it
To be honest they gon notice when I walk in
To be honest it's funny you think I need you
To be honest I'm with Saudis up in Bijou
To be honest I'm kinda poppin across the ocean
To be honest fuck your label and it's cross promotion
To be honest fuck every single industry plant
To be honest look all you got is industry fans
To be honest Im taking shots and it's way too early
To be honest it's actually late my days are blurry
To be honest just know that I see everything
To be honest how'd you come to terms with settling

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To Be Honest (Feat. Bugus) (Prod. Russ)

people aint believe i always did thats nothing new to me.....

LYRICS :

I put myself on so that's who I get the paper with
Ive been on my owner coach fan and player shit
Draped in my own clothes
Fam needs money so I try to split up bands
Like I'm tryna go solo
Gotta keep a low profile when I'm home
It's cool to make the hoes go wild but I know
That's how you get jammed up
So please put your right hand up
And swear to me that even when you're blitzed you'll keep the cam tucked
On your Carolina shit
She poppin pussy like its vicatin
And I just wanna try the shit
This is that build a fanbase without a shortcut
Turn my Nissan into a tour bus
This is by me for us
Put my family on my back
Rock that shit like its jersey
Doing circles round the game
Until I'm dizzy and I'm blurry
Highschool classmates thought this path was a tragedy
In one night I make their two month salary

Ok this money that I'm makin yea thats new to me
All these women getting naked yea thats new to me
I'm the topic of conversation thats new to me
People aint believe I always did thats nothing new to me

Listening to Wayne to cure my writers block
I been taking flights a lot
Top notch accountant he gon make sure that we write it off
All I ever wanted was a platform
Get Gianna and my mom anything that they ask for
Sayin I should rap more
Sayin I should sing less
Sayin I should sing more
Sayin I should spit less
I couldn't give a fuck bout what you think
You were nowhere to be seen
When I was doing what I knew would put my family on they feet
I ain't walkin thru the game
Bitch I'm levitating
Bitch I drop bombs
It's no telling when I'm detonating
Coming from a meeting with people
That control your favorite artist
Money making up their mind
Their bank account is where their heart is
So we don't get along
Cuz my heart is where my art is
Even if you blackballed me its still fuck you regardless
Groupies multiplying
Leeches multiplying
Labels tryna figure out the secret I've been hiding

Ok this money that I'm makin yea thats new to me
All these women getting naked yea thats new to me
I'm the topic of conversation thats new to me
People aint believe I always did thats nothing new to me


New To Me (Prod. Russ)

lately ive been winning.....

LYRICS : 

lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength
lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength what you think

I been on my puffy white linen shit 
South beach tan gold chains life's different 
Made a couple million before I turned 24
In less than a year Imma have twenty more 
Mr manifest 
Built this from the ground up
But never give my hands a rest 
Spirit never shakes it's a mannequin
Off the strength 
This feels different 
My women different  
Man my deals different 
Don't compare me 
I'm a rare breed

lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength
lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength what you think

i remember gettin treated poorly
i remember bitches would ignore me
i was always always on my own dick
now they always always tryna clone this

I leveled up 
Just ask my agents
Ask my accountant for the statements   
Ask Milan how basements turn to Vegas 
Strip strip strip strip 
Off the strength these women naked 
Wire transfers got two commas 
Momma I made it 
Tell Gianna pick it out 
Swipe swipe fuck the price tag 
I fly your girl out and then she flys back 
Then I resume to robes cigars and ocean balconies 
I dropped out and make 50 times my teachers salary 
Bachelor without the piece of paper 
Just a lotta funds 
I might go to tootsies throw a lotta ones 
You did your best you did your best but I felt neither 
Off the strength Imma get Adele features

lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength
lately ive been pullin all these women off the strength
walk in the club the dj got me spinning off the strength
jumped in the game and lately ive been winning off the strength
aint gotta chase the money i just make it off the strength what you think

i remember gettin treated poorly
i remember bitches would ignore me
i was always always on my own dick
now they always always tryna clone this
