"Richer Than Russ" lyrics
[Caskey:]
When you grew up watchin' yo' people addicted to drugs
It's hard to get rid of the mud
Picture somebody that's down bad
When it come to yo' mind, you ain't picturin' us
Y'all been so hooked on the medication and the alcohol
You call it livin' it up
Dog, that ain't livin' to us
We tryna get richer than Russ
The sheets on my bed is plush
My bitch is a ten, but bread is all that I lust
The wind came through with a gust
God spoke to me and said that you capable of so much
Tryna manifest cribs out in Europe
Takin' my nephew to school in a Urus
2023, the year I'ma flourish
I gotta get to it, I'm sure of it
Look how I made it this far
Lookin' back now would just be an insult to God
Importin' waves into my Pro Tools session
It feel like I'm importin' cars
Probably 'cause that's what I buy with these bars
Shoot past they head 'cause I shoot for the stars
Least if I miss, I'ma end up on Mars
Go fuck with yourself 'cause you can't fuck with ours
When you grew up watchin' yo' people addicted to drugs
It's hard to get rid of the mud
Picture somebody that's down bad
When it come to yo' mind, you ain't picturin' us
Y'all been so hooked on the medication and the alcohol
You call it livin' it up
Dog, that ain't livin' to us
We tryna get richer than Russ
Tryna get richer than Russ
Shout out Russ, he motivate me
And make it impossible to be complacent
He showed how he made it, I know I could make it
Grinded for years and never saw nothin' from it
So pain, I know I could take it
Last couple years, we've been elevatin'
People see the life I live, think I made it
But I got a vision, impossible to downsize
Guess that I gotta upgrade it
Thought I was on when I signed under Baby
But I ain't work enough so wasn't nothin' changin'
People like to blame the label for failin'
But I knew it was on me, I inhale it
Use it as motivation to change
The end of the story so that I could tell it
Brought myself back in
Did so many shows, even when people weren't packed in
It's 'bout connectin' with fans
Not just showin' up, live for the backend
Ten people out in Reno, Nevada
Gratitude'll have you tapped in
And I still gave 'em a show
When you do right, good things gon' happen
Just did five hunnid in Denver
A thousand in my hometown, I'm growin'
Y'all stuck inside the same place
'Cause you ain't got a vision for where you was goin'
Fourth grade, I knew I was a poet
Eleventh grade when I dropped my first mixtape
You buyin' your chains on ShopGold
Homie, all of that shit fake
When you grew up watchin' yo' people addicted to drugs
It's hard to get rid of the mud
Picture somebody that's down bad
When it come to yo' mind, you ain't picturin' us
Y'all been so hooked on the medication and the alcohol
You call it livin' it up
Dog, that ain't livin' to us
We tryna get richer than mafuckin' Russ
[ClicKlak:]
Yes sir, man, we tryna get richer than Russ
That go for Russ the rapper
Russell Westbrook, we see the future
Russell Wilson
Makin' movies like Russell Crowe
Rest in peace, Bill Russell
