If it wasn't for this music I don't know if I'd be on the path I am. The fact that you continue to create is a true blessing. I am eternally grateful for your artwork. Thank you!
Man Russ I really appreciate you for what you do! It reminds when I was a kid trying to hide and rap at the same time. I got bullied and turn to stage fright but it made me become wiser. You speak the truth and not afraid to take risk! That’s what’s so real. Not many people do that it’s what makes you great!
I’m thirty and Eminem did this for me, I haven’t listened to the song but my partner did and I checked the comments as I was dubious. There have been many men like this in history, and I’m glad they are still flowing from the wretched cracks of this impeccable universe. Meatloaf was mine, and then Eminem. I only am writing this because I saw I was the thirty ninth like, and I like numbers in threes, otherwise my own stage fright would break me again. Now I feel like an old man (or as the young kids say, a boomer, I think 🤔)Thank you, internet.
The last time I heard that word was NEVER. Only in a Video game I played as a child the car was named ZENITH. RUSS went crazy on this album so many profound bars.
Russ thank you so much for this album brother, I’ve always been aware of your music but during the toughest time of my life this year I stumbled across your interview with Jay shetty and immediately downloaded this album and it’s been speaking to my soul. Taking me out of a dark place ❤
Ive never been so infatuated and attached to an artists music. Ive never knew a single artist whos music in full can make such an impact to my life mind and spirit. Youre music helps my sanity and mind state. Thank you again. What a difference you make in this kaka world. Keep prospering and conquering ❤
Hi Russ, I’ve never really taken the time to listen to your music. But I gotta say I absolutely love your vibe. Looking forward to listening to the other stuff you’ve put out. God bless ✊🏻❤️
"I want to see how it feels to do 12 months sober." You don't have to be on hard drugs to relate to this line, addiction never starts because of the physical symptoms that come from withdrawing off hard drugs. Once the physical symptoms are gone, the mental symptoms are still there. This is why addiction to anything, including weed, caffeine, gambling (ect.) isn't good. There is a difference between doing something in moderation vs every day. Some things I can do in moderation, other things I can't.
It's not the time to pump these brakes I don't care how much I love her or how much money that I've made That wasn't the goal, it never was, I'm tryna see what my zenith is What it looks like to believe in strength in all of my weaknesses Inconveniences are hurdles, discipline jumps over I wanna see how it feels to do twelve months sober I wanna feel self love without the vanity (The vanity) I wanna feel what it be like to give a Grammy speech (A Grammy speech) I wanna see exactly how far I can take this independent thing How high can I fly if I just learn how to extend my wings? What would it be like to be patient? This is a me thing What would it be like to stop shamin' myself to victory? So when I win it doesn't feel defeating, that's why I'm leaving I'm seekin' constant improvement I don't have kids, but I fostered a movement The journey's the treasure, if I ain't movin', I'm losin', for real I've been (I've been) Pridin' myself on all of my patience (Patience) Pridin' myself on all of my diligence Pridin' myself on all of my curiosity I know I'ma get far if I work hard (Get far) Givin' shit up that I fuckin' love to death (To death) When we called it quits, I was fuckin' mess (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) But I gotta stick to my decision (Yeah, yeah) Got that tunnel vision, baby (Yeah) If I give up on myself, that's givin' up on the universe In return it gave up on me, no more signs, no more new alerts I be haunted by what if I went after what I wanted Daydreaming 'bout that nightmare is what prompted Me to keep it goin', I'm determined to see What life would look like as the best version of me I want a body that look sculpted like a statue I wanna not respond to everything if I don't have to I wanna heal the trauma from my childhood, I'm pissed off I wanna learn to snap less and use Wim Hof I wanna celebrate myself instead of waitin' for others I wanna be a better friend, better son, better brother I wanna stop thinkin' that I gotta go through hell To get the credit I desperately need to give to myself Across the board, I wanna see what my best is (Yeah) I wanna prove it to myself that I can get this tunnel vision I've been (Blinders on, I've been) Pridin' myself on all of my patience (Patience) Pridin' myself on all of my diligence Pridin' myself on all of my curiosity I know I'ma get far if I work hard (Get far) Givin' shit up that I fuckin' love to death (To death) When we called it quits, I was fuckin' mess (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) But I gotta stick to my decision (Yeah, yeah) Got that tunnel vision, baby
Felt that one to my core about the childhood trauma I've been working with my therapist and I'm still in gray area after all the hailing all the shadow work all the round-the-clock care that I put into myself and pouring into my cup my childhood trauma still got me shaking still brings me to my knees😢
"Day dreaming about that nightmare" man I cant believe id hear this ever because I thought I was the only one that day dreamed about the nightmare of not making it in life so I had to work hard as fuck
Rare to have an artist feel that we are in sync of what we go thru and how we feel going thru any path. As if your like my partner and I. Love you Russell! Loved seeing you in San Jose. Best believe I will VIP for your next tour. All about you baby!❤
Thank you for this album Russ, genuinely. These songs speak right to the soul. As a fellow lover of the Alchemist and on my own journey this album really feels like a gift from you to us fans. You truly are letting us see the best version of you 🫶🏻
