Autotune “breaks” the vocals but in a beautiful way. From a textural and emotive standpoint the brokenness felt appropriate for this one. Just wanted to give that nerdy engineering insight 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for dropping this Russ. No one knows what your'e going through and been through... this is the most honest way you can let us know. I feel it brotha. Keep up the great work.
Russ inspired me to make the songs that I want to make and produce all my own beats and never give up. He showed me anything is possible. I will blow up soon! 🚀
I have re-played this song to many times ... it is so relatable in many different ways . This song makes me feel the reality of what is going on in my life ; from working hard as a single parent , having my own apartment, struggling financially at times, not having anyones help but me , showing my daughter I am super happy ! And as much as I enjoy hearing this song I came into a realization that this isn't healthy for me . GRRRRR........ I love this song but it gets me in my feels .... and I can definitely say no song has ever made me feel this way . YOU HAVE AMAZING MUSIC ✨💕✨✨
What I love about your music is I can always feel your emotion in it. I hope you never lose that. This one feels sad. I can feel it. A lot of weight on your shoulders.. and probably not many people legit checking in on you to see how you’re doing. Real ones are hard to find.. now imagine that once you find the success he has. Gift and a curse all in one. Hope you’re talking to someone man. Keep your head up.. this too shall pass Russ.
Beautiful right from your young heart ..you don’t forget where you come from Russ.. be gentle with yourself ..try to rest as you are reflecting the inner you ..your fans are always here for you I’m as mom I live in Georgia ..meditation is helpful your so real keep the faith 💕🙏💪👑🤴
This hit me in soo many ways that the pain and sadness of that is you. “This is me now” One never knows how deep a person is feeling or struggling within… until they are asked!
Love the vulnerability! You are such a genuine, real, and talented artist. There is no one who puts in the work like you do. Please continue to take care of yourself. The real ones are always here!❤️
❤🎼❤🎼❤ 23 That was Me ....Man Russ that ending ....Lost my dad at 23 ...You always Come with the meaningful Lyrics . Thqnk you for giving us something to Sing.
man. its what I'm going through. since I was 5. 22 now and I feel so lost all I wanna do and be is successful to give my family opportunities we never had... easier said than done. Thanks Russ for another great song to keep pushing..
This hit is so many ways - I feeel this one deep. Literally struggling to help my Dad who lost his job and is losing his house he also lost his ability to communicate as he was able due to a stroke. My siblings and I are trying to help but it is so difficult to see your parent struggling and not be able to help them in all the ways you wish you could. Many blessings to you and thank you for sharing a piece of your heart with us. You are so beautiful ♡
As I turn my life to Christ and try to keep from my bad ways and as I try to get my life to where I want it to be at and to help my fam This the anthem when things gon get tuff May God Bless you Russ 🙏🏾
Made me cry... The pain of yearning so much to succeed only for your family to never worry again is something I never want them to know. The caliber is overwhelming
Always a blessing to hear another song from a living legend. Give him his roses now, never wait, he is one of the greatest longevity artist we have today. Thank you Russ, never stop, always a great song from you. 💨🔥💯
It got 2000 vibes i dont know why. I just listened this then closed my eyes and it was like 25years ago back just when i was kid listening hits songs on the radio
[Chorus] You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin' Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out You know that was me who came through when it mattered You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak [Verse 1] Wasn't gettin' sleep, I was focused on the prize Heavy smokin' weed, drinkin' liqour every night The girl I was in love with wasn't just for me I tried to show her things she didn't wanna see My parents were embarrassed, hated seein' them like that They carried me this far, it's time I put 'em on my back My songs are breakin' through, my car was breakin' down Yeah the pressure grew, I had to make it now [Pre-Chorus] The awkward conversations, and the fights increase The days were chaotic, so the nights were my peace Locked in like woah-oh-oh Woah (Woah) [Chorus] You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin' Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out You know that was me who came through when it mattered You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak [Verse 2] Tried to keep the peace, I was hidin' how I felt Only twenty-three, takin' care of things myself Payin' all the bills, everyone was broke All the while still, tryin' to be the goat I'm lonely all the time, but I've always held my tongue It's been six years since I was a brother or a son My father lost his voice, he knows money speaks He didn't have a choice, had to come to me
Outro : Cut off everybody I ain't got no time to party, Tryna get these fans and build a mothafuckin Army Cuz no one's gonna save us from me so I got us, I said that I would I gotta keep my promise Missed out a lot my 20s were a blur, My mind was always focused on the future that's forsure But I'd sacrifice it again and again, To make sure my fam doesn't go through that again (for real)
Resonating brother. Thank you for being transparent and taking some you time to reflect. Shit speaks volumes and we know you'll come out on the other side with even more insight. Appreciate you and the art 5ever!
Russ man you do not miss 🔥 Thanks for releasing this letting us know what’s been going on sometimes music is the best way we’re all here for you 💯 one love ✌🏽
“The girl I was in love with wasn’t just for me, I tried to show her things she didn’t wanna see, My parents were embarrassed, hated seeing em like that, They carried me this far it’s time I put them on my back” 😢 Thank u Russ, U R A Goat!
Menntal health is everything, we all go through shit, and put on a smile just to cover the pain way too often, stay strong, remember you’re blessed, there’s beauty in the struggle, sometimes the closest people to us do the worst damage to us emotionally but always take your prayers to God and when you feel that isn’t enough, talk to someone who genuinely cares about you, someone that listens and doesn’t judge but pulls you out of the darkness or sits there with you so you don’t go through shit alone, Russ you are loved, your music has saved and changed peoples lives and if that isn’t fulfilling idk what is, you are the GOAT, keep fighting those mental battles you are your only greatest enemy 💯
This song came out right after he cancelled his tour due to family and mental health issues. You can tell by the vibe of this song and the tone of his voice that he was hurting when he made this. We're here for you russ!
Man idk how I always relate to your songs.💜 This is why you’re my favorite artist! You help me through my hardest times! When I think things are too much I turn on your songs and suddenly everything is better.

Reminds me of two other Russ songs - Titanic and Fallin Too. I think this part of his story and the way he reflects on it is very inspiring
The emotion packed into this song moved me to the brink of tears. Woah 🐚🤍
You can hear the sadness in Russ' voice. What a talent and what a raw song. Take your time, Russ and take care of yourself. 💗💓

Russ is gem of a person just the way he is as an artist!🐐
This song hit's me straight into my heart.. very deep.
Get well soon Russell, we love you
It got 2000 vibes i dont know why.
I just listened this then closed my eyes and it was like 25years ago back just when i was kid listening hits songs on the radio
[Chorus]
You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in
Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin'
Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house
Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out
You know that was me who came through when it mattered
You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter
Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat
Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak
[Verse 1]
Wasn't gettin' sleep, I was focused on the prize
Heavy smokin' weed, drinkin' liqour every night
The girl I was in love with wasn't just for me
I tried to show her things she didn't wanna see
My parents were embarrassed, hated seein' them like that
They carried me this far, it's time I put 'em on my back
My songs are breakin' through, my car was breakin' down
Yeah the pressure grew, I had to make it now
[Pre-Chorus]
The awkward conversations, and the fights increase
The days were chaotic, so the nights were my peace
Locked in like woah-oh-oh
Woah (Woah)
[Chorus]
You know that was me, stayin' up, puttin' work in
Makin' sure my family was good, we were hurtin'
Dad lost his job, bank tried to take the house
Mom lost her mind, I was tryin' to make it out
You know that was me who came through when it mattered
You know that was me turnin' loss into laughter
Divvy up the cash, makin' sure we all eat
Bring us all together, makin' sure we all speak
[Verse 2]
Tried to keep the peace, I was hidin' how I felt
Only twenty-three, takin' care of things myself
Payin' all the bills, everyone was broke
All the while still, tryin' to be the goat
I'm lonely all the time, but I've always held my tongue
It's been six years since I was a brother or a son
My father lost his voice, he knows money speaks
He didn't have a choice, had to come to me
thankyou
Good work someone finish for her, 🤣🤣
Thanx for the Lyrics blod!! Love from Spain to all Russ supporters 🖤🔥
thankyah🤟
Outro : Cut off everybody I ain't got no time to party, Tryna get these fans and build a mothafuckin Army
Cuz no one's gonna save us from me so I got us, I said that I would I gotta keep my promise
Missed out a lot my 20s were a blur, My mind was always focused on the future that's forsure
But I'd sacrifice it again and again, To make sure my fam doesn't go through that again (for real)
Damn, loving this russ style 🔥💙
Bro I swear your my favorite artist and people may not understand it but you know what let them hate. Just know to me your the best! 💯☝️
