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)

im coming...

LYRICS : 

I pay my dues and get paid for it too
The outcome of my input
Is my favorite view
I do the work of two and half men
Like Charlie Sheen
This is what you get
When you don't care about the party scene
So pardon me
If I don't really look amused
I'm just shootin for the masses
Like I'm tryna make the news
All this winning by myself
Got these labels all confused
I should do a deal with a Nike
Cuz these checks are comin soon
Oo
Am I the only one lifted
The money ain't as fun
When you're the only one with it
I needa smaller table and a bigger fence
I see these leeches campin out
It's like they live in tents
I'm too advanced for your advances
Man I'm feelin godly
Russ is the wave
Nah Russ the tsunami
Te quieres casara conmigo
Yea they want me
This is for my Spanish girls in Brooklyn screaming papi
Everybody's in the same game
Different levels with it
Same hell
Different devils with it
Lemme tell you how my life feel
This past year has felt like a high light reel
I chew my beats
And I spit out anthems
If you wanna stand out gotta be outstanding
I know what I gotta do
To make my mom stop crying
Trying times doesn't mean it's time to stop trying
I'm flying with wings
That grew from leaps of faith
Feelin star struck every time I see my face
Oh that's crazy talk ain't it
I'm just gassed off my drive tho
Whole album fire
I might call the shit pyro
I could go to Saudi
Make 20 racks a night
By the time this comes out
It's probably 5 times the price
5 mics use to mean something
Nowadays I don't give a fuck
About your magazine it means nothing
I change the world by example
Not by my words
I move around with a handful of people
That know they worth
Ain't no playin us
We were born to make a dent
We understand that there's way more to life
Than just paying rent
But speaking of rent
I think we bout to lose the house
Think they repoing the cars
Think we gotta sell the couch
Think they cuttin off the lights
Think they turnin off the water
And I'm still turnin down every single label offer
Top prospect
Projected high draft pick
I'm in my own league tho
Own my own team tho
Making hooks like lay ups
And verses like free throws
I beat the game and I ain't even use a cheat code
You hatin from the stands
I'm ballin out
Peep the seats tho
Too young for this wisdom
Make them wanna check ID tho
I been psychic
Motherfuckers doubted
I suggest you listen when I talk
And shut yo mouth it's
Very evident I know some shit you don't
What you gonna do if they don't send a boat
Better learn to swim lil guppy

Tsunami (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)

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

Off The Strength (Prod. Russ)

i bring it to the light.....

LYRICS : 

Y'all gon have to do better
I can't believe what I'm seeing
All this bullshit going on
The industry is deceiving
All the masses
Pitching rappers as these independent grinds
Meanwhile there's been a label right behind them the whole time
Fake shit call it out
You were plugged before your first song
I was puttin in work
You were getting worked on
Yo fans are fickle
Cuz your come up is a mystery
My fans gon stick with me
Cuz me and them got history
Longer than 2 songs
You don't know how to build
You tried to start at the roof ah
You won't be here for too long
I don't fuck with crews unless you're the one who put the crew on
The rest of y'all got buzz because he put you on a few songs
Ooo umm did that strike a nerve
If the shoe fits then wear it
Either way I know the truth imma share it
See these rappers sign deals
Labels know what they're doing
They tell the rapper don't announce it
So the people keep rooting

Try to keep me on the hush but i do not give a fuck
This is Russ uncut ill expose you
You aint really seen shit just wait till im on
Then its on gotta lot i gotta show you
Why you gotta lie 
Ill bring it to the light
Gotta expose fake shit
I put in too much time

I'm comin thru exposing fake shit
God can't save you
Youre a boss?
You gotta boss
And that boss rapes you
Barely pays you
But you cool with it
You're a soldier unaware that you're a lieutenant
I gotta gripe with the media
All of y'all are wanna be's
Producers and rappers
Down for sodomy
Dick taking
Cuz the industry tells you to
It's fucked up I had a standard that I held you to
I'll name names if you provoke me
So shut your fucking mouth
My platform is way bigger
Than the ones that turned me down
Bunch of grown men and women
Talkin bout grown men and women for a livin
Man you gotta be kidding
Call me bitter
Call me jealous
Call me this
Call me that
This is 10 years grinding what the fuck you call that
Made the beats wrote the songs sang the hooks
And I mixed it
Everybody's gotta switch and y'all just flipped it

Try to keep me on the hush but i do not give a fuck
This is Russ uncut ill expose you
You aint really seen shit just wait till im on
Then its on gotta lot i gotta show you
Why you gotta lie 
Ill bring it to the light
Gotta expose fake shit
I put in too much time

You're an industry artist
I'm an artist in the industry
Me myself and I that's the holy fucking trinity
I partnered with Columbia
Partnered is the key word
We split the profits 50/50
Better do your research
Came in with my own fanbase
Sold out tours around the world before the handshakes
You see I play the game well
You let the game play you
You don't know your own power
You think the label saved you
Now subconsciously you owe them
You're submissive with your actions
Then you flop flop flop
And you wonder what happened
Couple things
You dropped one song and signed a deal
You have less than 10 songs out
You're not real
So the song became bigger than the artist
People know the song but they don't know the artist
Not enough songs to become their favorite artist
Not enough songs to be a headline artist
I could do a week long set if I performed my whole catalogue
Every single song the crowds sing and rap along
Fuck a summer I'm a decade rapper
You're here now I'll be here a decade after
I put out 11 albums
Produced by Russ
Mixed mastered engineered written by Russ
I put out 11 albums
Produced by Russ
Mixed mastered engineered written by Russ

Try to keep me on the hush but i do not give a fuck
This is Russ uncut ill expose you
You aint really seen shit just wait till im on
Then its on gotta lot i gotta show you
Why you gotta lie 
Ill bring it to the light
Gotta expose fake shit
I put in too much time

i was always right and you know now...

LYRICS : 

I was always right and you know now
You was always wrong and you know now
Look at where my life just went
Look where you still is
I know you feel this
I was tryna help you out
But I got no time to help you now
Look at where my life just went
Look where you still is 
I know you feel this
Cuz I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
You know that I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
Yea I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
Look where you still is
I know you feel this

I need b's that's why you see me getting a buzz
My ex comin after me like Mexican does
If heavens above
Hell is below
Where am I livin
Table full of legends
I see
Where am I sitting
I'm out your life but I'm still in your search bar
Still humble still riding in my first car
Took me 10 years to get here I work hard
From a basement
Now I'm an all around the world star
Supported my dreams till my dreams supported me
Lookin at views that you don't see till 43
I'm half they age
But twice as paid
This the good life
A bad chick doesn't always mean a good night
Heavy bars with light hooks so it seems pop
Lately they only want my responses for the screenshots
Upgraded to a Rollie from a g shock
The alchemist Napoleon hill mixed with deepak

I was always right and you know now
You was always wrong and you know now
Look at where my life just went
Look where you still is
I know you feel this
I was tryna help you out
But I got no time to help you now
Look at where my life just went
Look where you still is 
I know you feel this
Cuz I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
You know that I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
Yea I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
Look where you still is
I know you feel this

The type of views a camera can't capture 
The girls coming quick but the money coming faster 
Red carpet treatment for yourself and whoever you with 
Any girl you want the answers yes whoever you pick 
Cuz you poppin now 
You're a come up 
My homies look like security so think before you run up 
I'm one of few who did it their way 
Taking over airwaves 
5 course meals and lay flats on my airplanes 
Your dream girl sending I miss you texts 
I fly her out cuz I miss that I miss you sex 
Then I fly her back home 
She a Florida state Seminole  
Cuz I got bands lined up like a festival 
All over the world and I brought my mom with me 
Just to say thank you and make her happy I spend 50
Ex's best friends now I don't give a fuck 
I don't gotta get revenge 
My life does that enough 

I was always right and you know now
You was always wrong and you know now
Look at where my life just went
Look where you still is
I know you feel this
I was tryna help you out
But I got no time to help you now
Look at where my life just went
Look where you still is 
I know you feel this
Cuz I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
You know that I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
Yea I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone
Look where you still is
I know you feel this

i pay in monthly taxes
they use to say i brag too much
they use to say i sing too much
they use to say i rap too much
now its 10k just to drink too much

with a bunch of broke people peep

For The Stunt

For The Stunt (Prod. Russ)

i still feel the same im just tryna run the motherfucking.....

LYRICS : 

Its like everything changed but i still feel the same
im just tryna run the motherfucking game
im on that
yea ill always be on that

Where do I start damn
Man my mind is racing
Hip hop awards get chosen by some racists
Im in the yo with a bottle of some clear shit
You don't know the truth you just hear shit
Homies on a leer jet
Upgrade from the block
If you too big fuck fades they gon use the glock
I do a lot for everyone around me y'all don't see it
I'm in the club for half an hour then I'm probably leaving
Got paid dip off with the gang
Got bugus in the Bentley
Got herb in the wraith
Got tim in the ghost
Got a gun on his waist
Life or death ain't no time to start reachin for the safe
So I play it safe
Real ones that would really go hit for me
Low overhead no one ever wrote a hit for me
I be making history
Bigger when I'm dead
I'm so on but its off with they head
Fuck MTV yall really snubbed me
How you choosin people with numbers that ain't above me
Oh wait politics
Playin at these colleges
Gettin paid more to perform than any scholarship
I'm lit
I'm gassed
I'm me
I'm me
Two platinum singles
Two years they were free
As I'm writing this I know that this ain't accurate no more
By the time that all y'all hear this I will most likely have more
I really did 8 tours
Headlined them all
Your contracts were bullshit
We redlined them all
I spent time in awe
On some amazed shit
Then a OG told me to embrace this
I would never waste this
Never get complacent
Lotta these rappers got rich and got jaded
I'm still on the same shit
Take over the game shit
I just can't relate to your wavelength

Its like everything changed but i still feel the same
im just tryna run the motherfucking game
im on that
yea ill always be on that

I get everything for free from your girl to my wardrobe
Half a million dollars smiling on my torso
I buy property
You just got foreclosed
Money running low you gon have to do more shows
But you know no one shows for your shows
So you do club hostings but you drink what you gross
Then you go back home
Fall asleep frustrated
Girl layin next to you whispering russ made it
You asleep you don't hear her so she sneaks out
Then she pulls up on me and brings the freak out
I send her back before your eyes open
I'm her fix cuz your life's broken
She might try choking
On something you don't wanna kiss after
Lifestyle of a young handsome rich rapper
It's all laughter
It's all big bucks tho
Call the bus vegas cuz it stays on the bus tho
Girls gone wild
Rich like rothchild
Imma make you sign an NDA
Now you're on file
I'm the president
The CEO
People that I've never seen tryna see me go
Billionaire minds in my circle that's a fact
Faded off Clooney liquor we don't know how to act
If it's based off of fans y'all should really do the math
If it's based off sales y'all should really count the plaques
If it's based off of pussy y'all should really count the ass
If it's based off money y'all should really count the cash
Move around with duffle bags like Floyd does
Sometimes nothing makes more noise than poise does
Coin us the best movement of all time
Dreams too big to think small time
I'm just on the same shit
Take over the game shit
I just can't relate to any b level wavelengths

Its like everything changed but i still feel the same
im just tryna run the motherfucking game
im on that
yea ill always be on that

think twice...

LYRICS : 

lose lose conversations
im bout to lose patience
said this in the basement
i cant front now
its taking everything in me not to say shit
so much fake shit
ever since i made it
i wont ever be quiet cuz im famous
yall gon hate this yea yea

this aint no average joe shit
this is everyday russell
joe got a day job
thats an everyday struggle
this for all the slow rappers who subliminally diss
you can @ it you can text it but youd rather be bitch
but its hard to hear the hate over these waves crashing
i think your time is up
i think your waves crashing
all that fade catching you promoting shit is all talk
the difference is my life is still lit when i log off pussy go head

lose lose conversations
im bout to lose patience
said this in the basement
i cant front now
its taking everything in me not to say shit
so much fake shit
ever since i made it
i wont ever be quiet cuz im famous
yall gon hate this yea yea

Fuck these fake alliances
I don't be buyin shit 
It's not in my interest 
You be window shopping 
I be buying it 
I'm fly as shit 
Just keep in mind what position you in 
If you lucky I might make a song and diss you again
And when I say you 
I meant you too
They call my bono 
Rappers sending subtweets 
Rappers stealing logos 
Rappers feeling jumpy 
Then bounce pussy pogo 
This gon get a billion streams
This for the rappers who need promo
This for rappers who need other rappers hooks to go bronze
This for rappers who need other rappers shows to go 
On
Go off
These for rappers who still suck still
6 years later you still stuck still 
Still on the uphill 
There's some rappers who won't be here by the
Next June
Theres some rappers who still asking for some leg room
I just give em half a bar like they give themselves 
I kick back and watch these losers go and kill themselves

lose lose conversations
im bout to lose patience
said this in the basement
i cant front now
its taking everything in me not to say shit
so much fake shit
ever since i made it
i wont ever be quiet cuz im famous
yall gon hate this yea yea

these junkie ass rappers basing brands off of drug addiction
and im the bad guy for calling it out?
you the one who got kids OD'ing tryna be like you
and im the bad guy for calling it out....
