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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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

The Game 

The Game (Prod. Russ)

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
