i aint make the deans list but i bet i make the...

LYRICS : 

Takin shots like its my occupation
I call the shots of my operation 
Obligation of a boss 
That's just something that you're born with 
I ain't make the deans list but I bet make the Forbes list 
Couple corpses that I dated
Them bitches dead to me 
I'm tryna upgrade from local hoes 
To celebrities 
Get some fucking millions before my mom loses hope 
Cop a castle for the queen that comes equipped with a moat 
I ain't worried if all eyes are on me yet 
Cuz I know imma turn my Nissan into a p jet 
I deflect any doubt thrown my way 
Cuz there's a whole lotta fucking people who know my name 

We gon be alright
Money on the way we gon be alright
Drinks on me we gon be alright 
You aint gotta worry we gon be alright
We gon be alright
Money on the way we gon be alright
Drinks on me we gon be alright 
You aint gotta worry we gon be alright  

Im tryna build a skyscraper 
Why you comfortable with condos?
This world can't swallow me 
I'm fuckin up its tonsils 
Quatros anos 
It's time for a new president 
If hype is what's sellin
Someone tell me who's sellin it 
Nah fuck that russ is organic 
I'm showin you how to build 
I'm showin you what my floor plan is 
More cameras 
More groupies 
More stans it's all happening
I'm trafficking this magic 
Getting cash for being passionate 
Gotta half of fifth up in my system 
Hip hops got plots but ya boys twistin
You dreadin my arrival 
I'm exposing where the bar is at 
Pointing in the mirror tryna show you where the star is at 

We gon be alright
Money on the way we gon be alright
Drinks on me we gon be alright 
You aint gotta worry we gon be alright
We gon be alright
Money on the way we gon be alright
Drinks on me we gon be alright 
You aint gotta worry we gon be alright  

Forbes List (Prod. Russ)

everybody...

LYRICS : 

Laid back contemplating chess moves
Life heating up I just need someone to vent to
Cup full of stress so I'm sippin like the rents due
Dialing the number for my visions hope I get thru
10 2 seaters in the driveway
Chains on everybody
Welcome to the ice age
Murdering the moment makes me money I guess crime pays
You probably have to leave your state to change your mind state
Blind dates with my journey everyday I wake up
Runnin thru these hoes
Never trippin keep it laced up
Cuz all of them got cardboard signs
Saying save us
But after the last one I chose to hang the cape up
Focused on myself
Ain't no time for distractions
Sometimes I can't believe it all
Like how'd the hell this happen
Gotta keep it movin tho
Ain't no time to look around
Jab you with the raps
Then knock you out when I bring the hook around

Everybody here I am
Everybody here I am
Tanqueray cups got me woozy
Posted up lookin for some floozies
Devils get up off me like Boosie
Imma always keep my first hoopty

Imma pro juggler lately my life's a circus
I spent about 10k on purses
And every cent was worth it
Once i saw her eyes light up
It's me myself and I who the fuck wanna fight us
Dreams overlapping now
Lines keep blurring
Drunk off my accomplishments
I keep slurring
And nowadays my contact list
Is stocked with enough weapons
That I'm pointin at the game like bomb that shit
Saddam that shit
And bring me back the loot
Hit the dealership
Go head and bring me back a coupe
I ain't got no time to hang
These hoes are lookin like a noose
And I ain't got no time for exes let alone an excuse

Everybody here I am
Everybody here I am
Tanqueray cups got me woozy
Posted up lookin for some floozies
Devils get up off me like Boosie
Imma always keep my first hoopty

Hold up 
I don't hear you talkin when I roll up 
Where's that shit you poppin when I roll up 

Here I Am (Prod. Russ)

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

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)

my streak is impossible to break....

LYRICS : 

Tours overseas
Couple million on the table
By the time I'm 24 I'll be sellin out staples
I got big plans
Sing and rap
I can switch hands
Crossover killer
Labels know that I'm the hitman
Women all on me
Tryna give me sex favors
Take your clothes off you're a starter not a bench player
Then I gotta go
I won't say I'm heartless
But after dating hoes
I began to use my heart less
Had to pump the brakes
Cuz my drive got GPS
Sometimes I feel like the only real genius left
I'm tryna hit the blunt with Snoop on GGN
Even my blind hoe say she wanna see me win
Even my ex girl got my old CD in
Rotation you gon wish you didn't leave me when
I go and cop a little mazzi maybe cut the roof off
Cuz I'm all about the drop like EDM
I got my first arena show
I'm on the flight there now
I use to dream about the life that I'm livin right now
Makin money in abundance
Cuz I do so much for free
I don't work for the money
I make the money work for me
But the family going through it
That's a lotta my stress
Momma asking where's my iTunes and Spotify checks
It's funny cuz she use to ask when I was goin back to classes
Now I'm paying off her debts off of melodies and raps
It's fun takin south beach trips every month
Spend a mortgage on my sister by the time we eat lunch
Just to let her know no matter what her big bro got her
No dudes can trick on her
No Harlem globetrotters
Entry into my circle is more selective than a Rhodes scholar
Ship is sailing already so don't bother
But I do business
So if it makes sense
We can talk change
Just play your role and do it well just be like John Wayne
I'm Tom Hanks except I always remain captain
In Atlanta I don't dance but I always remain snappin
Cash in quantity
In less than a year I dropped your favorite rappers entire discography
I did every single beat
I mixed every single song
Walked in as the opener
But turned it to sing a long
Rapping on my beats got it sounding like a gospel
I take my hotel rooms and I turn em to a brothel
Women in rotation
Made it out the basement
Bank account lookin like a fucking donation
No amazement
I been patient
I've been cookin for so long I swear that I can taste it
This is laced with
Yung DiMaggio
My streak is impossible to break
Dropping hits everytime I'm at the plate
I might go away soon tho
Strategize the debut
Link with label
I see y'all playin I'm tryna play too

Just know I know what I'm doing and Imma always call the shots...


DiMaggio (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)

you know they always show up late....

LYRICS : 

Honolulu views sippin on some fresh guava
Bumping always knew and thinkin bout my next comma
I put my thoughts into the world until they come true
You chase women I'm the one that they run to
Russ moves smart this is something you could learn from
Rappers pay attention maybe you can finally earn something
Low overhead I don't need other people
Cuz everybody on my team is two other people
Multi faceted
I remember imagining
Livin how I'm livin
Now everything is extravagant
Jets rolexs new women new deals
Can't let a fake game try to tell you who's real
Cuz they gon try to but you gotta see thru shit
You don't have to sell your soul I'm the proof this is
Millionaire weed
Kush like Regis
I sound like an angel
And I look like Jesus
That's what the women tell me
Fuck it imma run with it
You ain't gonna get the throne back until I'm done with it
Money flow like water
Yea I'm getting Fiji checks
I'm huge in Honolulu
No wonder why Kiki (waikiki) left
I'm detached from anything y'all attached too
I'm in n out with my groupies like fast food
Who's the greatest say Russ when they ask you
I sell out shows quick enough to always add two
I laugh too cuz some promoters are slackin
But shoutout Cara Lewis always gets me a backend
Meaning you can sleep but we got that covered
You blew up in the spring and you were gone that summer
Money at my feet life's a cake walk
They love me out in Asia you would think I made K Pop
Too many j kwons
Not enough Raekwon's
Rappers use the same beat and flow and make the same song
I swear the last few months have been the best few months
I cant wait to see what happens in the next few months
And I can tell you only come around when success does
You only check for me when a check does
Ten blunts couldn't get you higher than me
Cuz I'm high off becoming what I aspired to be
You outdated like shirts by ed Hardy
You know they always show up late to the best party

The Journey

The Journey (Prod. Russ)

i gotta keep on goin....

LYRICS : 

From the moment I wake up
I start packing all my stuff
Tell the homies 
Tell the family 
I gotta keep on goin 

I don't know what day it is 
I don't know what month it is 
I can't love a girl 
Because I'm way too much in love with this
Different states 
Different countries 
Crossing different continents 
Self beliefs my diving board 
I'm swimming in accomplishments
Haven't slept since 06 
Main focus is stay focused  
Santorini wine tasting plus Amalfi coasting 
Took my mom with me 
Cuz without her there'd be none of this 
I think she'd agree she probably needs a brand new bucket list 
Eating off my dreams Im my personal chef 
7 women in one night that's just my personal best Sent 110 to the family 
Sent 15 to my homie 
So I don't feel bad about my chain or my Rollie 
Don't approach with me assumptions 
I promise that you know nothing 
My family's legs got caught off while my bank account keeps on jumping 
So I gotta keep on going 
It's bigger than me 
That's just the day one ambition in me

From the moment I wake up
I start packing all my stuff
Tell the homies 
Tell the family 
I gotta keep on goin

Yea a nigga settin all my bars high they can't follow mine
Try to trace me like a jaw line 
Shine like a gold mine
So my bottom line grow 4 times in a week 
I got a gold mind, and its go time I got no time for the weak
This week been showtime after showtime I'm still finding my peak 
dunno what day it is now 
dunno what month it is
I'm tryin to hold my girl down 
I'm sure I love her more than this 
Now Bassy why you always missin 
Bassy baby on a mission
Speak on love cause hate is rampant 
put that cancer  on  remission
Listen, Followed my passion it led me to purpose 
Took me so long just to find out my worth 
I went from knee deep to beneath the surface 
Beneath the surface 
Beneath that 
Living above my lows
I'm Living above my lows
The shows sell out but the boy won't 
And god got us, these hoes don't 
I dropped the hottest shit in 16 
They still sleep- bet
Just finna do that shit again
It's off wit everybody head
U ain't gotta give me mine nigga nah pay me every fuckin cent 
Ima let the squad handle all the rest
And God gon handle whatever left there

From the moment I wake up
I start packing all my stuff
Tell the homies 
Tell the family 
I gotta keep on goin

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....
