Lyrics Exposed - Russ

Yeah, I feel like I'm the only one
Feel like I'm the only one, yeah

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
Ooh um, 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 I'll expose you
You ain't really seen shit just wait 'til I'm on
Then it's on gotta lot I gotta show you
Why you gotta lie
I'll 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 I'll expose you
You ain't really seen shit just wait 'til I'm on
Then it's on gotta lot I gotta show you
Why you gotta lie
I'll 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, come on

Try to keep me on the hush but I do not give a fuck
This is Russ uncut I'll expose you
You ain't really seen shit just wait 'til I'm on
Then its on gotta lot I gotta show you
Why you gotta lie
I'll bring it to the light
Gotta expose fake shit
I put in too much time
