[00:11.438] (Oooh oohh, woahhh, oohh, woahh)
[00:15.931] Yeah
[00:22.773] Lost it all, but got it all back
[00:27.042] Saw my life floating off track
[00:29.973] So many crazy thoughts in my past
[00:32.800] And how I had to get to that bag
[00:35.695] I was pushed down, they just tried to limit me
[00:38.521] This a big man’s game, this ain't little league
[00:41.374] Money, *******, and they boyfriends they see me an enemy
[00:44.599] ‘Cause either way, me and mines gon do shit differently
[00:47.355] They brought me down, down, down, down
[00:52.884] Asking momma what now, now, now, now, now?
[00:56.495] [Verse 1]
[00:59.346] I spent nights in my bed, empty stomach and soul
[01:01.780] That's why I hate you got the nerve to be asking why I be so cold
[01:05.411] I spent years watching life unfold
[01:07.642] And spent seconds seeing everything I worked for fail and got told
[01:11.623] That I wasn’t shit, bag it and hustle it
[01:14.160] Seeing my bank account go to zero, throw my phone and yell “**** this shit!”
[01:17.737] Parents tried to make ends meet, tryna survive
[01:20.589] Being broke was a big part of my life
[01:22.619] You know this shit is for my **** dealers
[01:24.821] Fo’ realer
[01:25.885] I gotta preach
[01:26.853] This the shit that all them schools don’t teach
[01:28.891] Putting time into the thing you really love when people outta they seats
[01:32.280] Just to hear you use your freedom of speech
[01:34.623] ***** read it and weep
[01:36.181] Use to not afford kicks at the mall
[01:38.406] And have my mom buy me shit on clearance
[01:40.978] Then I’d see these other kids with new Jordans, all them kids had it all
[01:44.251] They were way more fortunate, and I would always just fear them
[01:47.471] ‘Cause of my awkward appearance
[01:49.244] Or the fact that I was short
[01:50.869] Or the fact that I always blew it in sports
[01:52.458] Or the fact that I could never go to school ‘cause that ain't what I’m meant for
[01:56.357] I knew I’d end up as a star, and now its taking its course
[01:59.466] I embedded my soul into this music I make
[02:02.563] Tatted crazy shit up onto my face
[02:04.686] I don’t care this is useless, this a verse tell em all not to wait
[02:08.333] Do whatever you ****ing want with your day
[02:10.779] My real father ain't want me, he was out on his way
[02:13.677] The girl I love don’t want me, she be playing them games
[02:16.501] All them haters don’t like me, and I don’t care what they say
[02:19.560] ‘Cause I’ll be laughing to the bank, knowing this is what they made
[02:22.607] Mother****er, its Russell!
[02:25.298] (This is where the credits roll, alright)
[02:28.624] Oh! Oh Na naa
[02:33.986] (Richvale!)
[02:36.084] Ooh ohh
[02:37.173] (And we gon really keep em coming, ladies and gentlemen, K-Beatz!)
[02:43.174] I’d be nothing without you
[02:46.203] I’d be nothing without you, yeah
[02:50.648] So love me love me while I’m here, yeah
[02:55.207] I’d be nothing without you
[02:58.429] I’d be nothing without you, yeah
[03:02.398] So love me, love me while I’m here, yeah
[03:05.424] (Russell!)
[03:06.339] (Momma so proud of you, love you)
[03:17.399] “Did he think about Russell?”
[03:21.610] “Um, I don’t think so.
[03:24.884] He doesn’t even know Russell’s full name, Russell’s real name.
[03:28.911] But in fact, Russell’s real name is just after him,
[03:34.207] because Russell’s real name is Gilbert Russell.
[03:37.757] He was named after the father,
[03:40.719] and the father can’t even remember that.”
