THIS SONG IS SUPPOSEDLY ABOUT ME 🙄 HOW SHOULD I FEEL ABOUT THAT? IS HE TRYING TO DISS ME? @Russ … THE GUY ON THE COVER IS COPYING ONE OF MY POSES… but he is beat up!!! WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? THE NAME OF THE ALBUM IS ONE OF THE ALIASES I’VE USED PREVIOUSLY… I BLUFFED THAT I WAS MOVING TO DUBAI AND HE PULLS THAT MARKETING STUNT IN DUBAI
This song is truly one of its kind, and the best of this album. It made me so sad thinking of a lot of young boys who go through all this internal pain, caused by their external world. It made me think of a man I once loved, a fan of yours who introduced me to your music. After listening to this song, how I wish someone in his life would dedicate this to him and all the men like him. I truly believe you just made the perfect piece for the inner little boys in men like him. I hope it finds them and soothes/heals that child in them. 🥺 🙏🏼
Man I was driving to work this morning it’s 8:55 AM. I almost cried to this song. And I finally told myself that I love myself. Thank you Russ for reminding us about our inner child that we have to shun sometime just to fit in this world. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ Big Anti-Bad deal!!
I went to Russ's first tour about 7 years ago in ABQ at the Launchpad. There was about 60 people. Fast forward to today and he is selling out stadiums with 40,000 seats! Love to see how far he's come on this journey both musically and mentally. Proud is an understatement. Keep doing you Russ. This kind of music lives forever.
I was listening to him on SoundCloud when he first started uploading his shit. Man, for the first moment of listening to his first track i knew he would eventually reap the successes he so truly deserves because of his talent and dedication and ways of expressing real emotion through and throughout all of his music. I'm not trying to brag about being one of the first to have discovered him; however, I am just amazed at how much he has grown and how far he's come in his journey from releasing his first songs solely on SoundCloud to being mainstream now. I love to see artists grow and reach out to millions of people through the power of music. The same can be said about Billie Eilish and Doja Cat with their first songs they uploaded on SoundCloud; I knew they both would eventually become more well known but never truly knew to the extent that they both have found themselves now currently at; literal A list celebrities in such a short amount of time. Which is also very inspirational. I'm glad the internet exists and can be an outlet for undiscovered artists to release music that others can listen to and maybe one day help them become successful and mainstream
This song has me digging even deeper into why I am the way I am. The more we understand ourselves the more we can keep pushing and the build the life we truly want. It’s not always to feel deserving of better until you show yourself and can obtain better. This has been a beautiful journey Russ! Keep the amazing energy and enthusiasm you have alive. We’re here for a good time and a long time! 🙏🏻🫶🏼💫
This is deep discretion.. lyrics are crazy.its in complete... Ive been trying to understand. Love isn't there but love is strong. There's a lot going on and you hold it in. . ❤and I don't let it be goodbye. . all of us or none of us. Thank you . This is touching.
This is one of my absolute favorites! The eldest child usually carries a weight that most can’t understand if they’ve never lived a traumatic childhood. I LOVE YOU, BOY (in my case GIRL) Keep inspiring 👌🏼💪🏼
Chills Russ ❤ so healing! I love how you honor your mama, coming from a mama of 3 sons please know it is not your job to heal your mama or make up for your fathers pain. Your mama's greatest joy will always be to see you truly happy so keep loving yourself first!! To all of us healing from our parents wounds keep learning, growing, and loving yourself and the world will benefit!
I love you Russ. Keep your head in the game. Stay alert, enjoy yourself and your blessings. I wish you were next to me, id lift up my hand to you for help. I'm trying to be an artist but I don't have friends. Russ I'm trying. If you ever see me pop off I'd love to work with you someday. I'd give everything I am.
Man, you touch souls. And that interview you just did. Oof. Respect, brother. You are worthy. As a man and father who struggles with those moments of wondering if I'm enough. I love you, boy. Mean that.
This is the best song of the past 10 years. Easily. Ppl will still hate cause they wanna deny what they themselves experienced. Use this song to reflect and restart. It was you all along.
This song is a healer. I’m in psychotherapy 1yrs+ now and I understand what this song is about. I hope everyone can heal his wounded little inner child ❤
🤌🏼4mins worth of words with the power of healing generations full of trauma.....our heart has beats cause music is life...russ embodies what the right kind of music can do...heal, change, evolve and grow, and sharing it lucky to be blessed to experience this...🥰😍❤️
For 6 years, I was tormented by the devil and I prayed that God would show me the wonders of his power. Then he began torturing me more and more, the day his death was known, and after that he started teaching me all the movements of the devils, so that every time I went somewhere I would see their movements and breathe, and he challenged God that he would take all the devils, and he would slander God every day.
I just hang out in my heart chakra a lot now days i always knew I needed to heal my inner child didn't always know how iv learned a little bit step one was finding him step2 was making him safe Step 3 was loving him that's an ongoing process
Damm russ I felt this in my soul seriously you can explain something so real I felt every word you seriously helped keep my head up ,stay being you and making amazing music ♥️
That silent shout out to MAC at the end though with that absloutley beautiful instrumental, this song really gives me crazy mixed emotions. It truly hits home Russ, I appreciate all your music since day one. 🩵🩵🫂

This album is 💯, but this song hit me so hard. I’m not great at hearing lyrics the first time, but I felt every word on this one. No one understands, but there is so many people that have it.
Here I was thinking he couldn’t top my fav song of his. Russ you saved my life not once not twice but three times. Once again you put pen to paper and went fully da Vinci code on the mic.
This is incredible, it hits deep for those of us who deal with childhood trauma 🥺❤️
💔💔
The goal 💔❤️🩹❤
I am and will always be my personal number one supporter. That’s a promise. We got this!!!
I knew once I saw this comment I was going to get it hard with this song. Love it 💔❤️🩹❤️

My Favorite
One of the best songs I've heard in 15+ years .Russ needs to win awards for this.

Song of the year right here

What a fucking masterpiece.
Russ, my baby 💜 You and J. Cole needed to collaborate!! can we get a remix with this one with y'all two Prtty Pls☺️
This hits the heart and soul, speechless
this song is so brutally honest
LYRICS:
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
Yeah
You grew up in a environment that was hostile and got wild
Arguments you heard as a small child, had an effect
That left you with a lot to undo
Your first words was screamin' at your mom sayin', "Fuck you"
Imagine the visual
Diaper on, already dealin' with the residual
Effects of an explosive father figure with difficult
Momma was miserable
His love felt conditional
You better be perfect, otherwise hе'll be hypocritical
Belittle you 'til you nothin', yеah, hurts to listen
Neither parent knew had to regulate the nervous system
That was reactive, mom was fatalistic
No one to protect you, grandfather paid a visit
To take you and your siblings and your momma far away
Twenty-nine years later, she regrets that she stayed
You were doomed from the start, you were hurt and ostracized
There's a wound in your heart, survival mode, you traumatized (For real)
I love you, boy (I love you)
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
Yeah
The monster you created to protect the kid in you is hard to manage
Supreme confidence, deep cripplin' insecurity
The damage that's been done is explicit
And abusive and a critic, nothin' that you ever do is really good enough, is it?
You didn't get validation from your dad so you replaced him with the industry and started to rap
You wanted praise and acknowledgement and picked a profession that people who look like you don't get out of rage of accomplishments
Bein' ignored, authoritative outside force, that you
Yet again, apparently, aren't good enough for
All fueled you, your need to be liked and feel wanted consumed you
That's why you call a chick every night to come do you
Only to be left feelin' less than before
Didn't have the tools to manage stress, you at war
With yourself, you need love
Drinkin' to forget that bein' you is not enough
Overcompensatin' in interviews, tryna prove that you right
Maybe then you'll be liked
Tryna prove you're worthy of approval you weren't shown in your home
I'm sorry that I ever left you all alone
I love you, boy (I'm sorry)
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
Yeah
You deserve a pat on the back and a round of applause
The sound of this song makes you think I'm not proud but you wrong
Look how far you took it, international bookings
You gave your family a cushion
And through the hate, you kept pushin'
Knew you had people lookin' up to you, you held your composure
As hell moved close to you, you a soldier
It's a shock that you were ever sober
I never told you how I feel, I apologize
Lot of guys would've fold, I guess I'm not surprised
You prophesized this from the get go
Anything you wanted, went and got it 'cause you said so
Packs of women fightin' over you like Shevchenko
Seven figure checks, private jets, your best friends know
Your character, you proved that by sharin' your
Successes and blessings, but when you hurt, we hurt
Breakdowns mean that it's time for a rebirth so
You carried me as far as you could go
Now it's time to say goodbye, before I leave, you should know though, yeah
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
Listen to my remix of Russ' "Can't Let Go"
ua-cam.com/video/qp-jmWRq-rY/v-deo.html
Need the ? Should be “neither parent knew..”
How to regulate the nervous system
Thank you!
Of course! 🙏🏻 thank you for posting the rest of the lyrics!
🎉 good bro , just fix this one " shevchenko " it should be , he was a football player . Keep ot up brother
Lembrei de muita coisa que sofri quando eu era mais novo.🇧🇷🇧🇷

I grew up in and out of the foster system, so many family members taken away, generational trauma is real. ❤
This album is 💯, but this song hit me so hard. I’m not great at hearing lyrics the first time, but I felt every word on this one. No one understands, but there is so many people that have it.

Money changes you, you got gas.
Here I was thinking he couldn’t top my fav song of his. Russ you saved my life not once not twice but three times. Once again you put pen to paper and went fully da Vinci code on the mic.

Literally just spit my whole childhood..
This hits when you endured an extremely difficult and traumatic childhood.
