Russ - Yung God Lyrics

[Hook]
Yung God when I ride up
Not too many that can fuck with me
Never hung up on the bullshit
I can't afford that type of luxury
How'd I get so faded
How'd I get so faded
I'm boutta' do a show in Paris
I swear Im feelin' like I made it

[Verse 1]
Makin' deposits off of bein' a prophet
Turnin' visions into riches way too big for my pockets
Baby girl I'm a star
I suggest you acknowledge it
While you were scalin' out your pride
I was weighing my options
Like ain't no room in my pictures for bitches I end up croppin'
I've been movin' and flippin' and livin' life like Im poppin'
Im the young yacht owner
Bitch and I'm not sober
Yeah, they had me on probation but I'll be done in October c'mon


[Bridge]
You don't have to love me love me
But you gon' have to fuck with me fuck with me (fuck with me)
You don't have to love me love me
But you gon' have to fuck with me fuck with me (fuck with me)

[Hook]
Yung God when I ride up
Not too many that can fuck with me
Never hung up on the bullshit
I can't afford that type of luxury
How'd I get so faded
How'd I get so faded
I'm boutta' do a show in Paris
I swear I'm feelin' like I made it

[Verse 2]
Society tryna' reduce me to simplicity
But little do they know that I'm designed by the divinity
Not wrapped up in your rules
I'm intertwined with the infinity
Baby close your eyes
You'll realize that you're feelin' me
Sip G-I-N
Flip these problems
Flip these hoes into 16's ah shit
How'd I get so faded
How'd I get so faded

[Bridge]
You don't have to love me love me
But you gon' have to fuck with me fuck with me (fuck with me)
You don't have to love me love me
But you gon' have to fuck with me fuck with me (fuck with me)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
You don't have to love me love me
But you gon' have to fuck with me fuck with me (fuck with me)
You don't have to love me love me
But you gon' have to fuck with me fuck with me (fuck with me)

Analysis of Russ - Pull The Trigger


Song title, Pull the Trigger. The idea of ‘Pull the trigger’ gives the impression of danger and the death of someone. The music video initiates with the artist, Russ, laying on the floor. This immediately gives the impression that the artist, in the music video, has been shot or injured. The bright lighting and the location of an empty field gives the idea that Russ is in a dream. The woman in the scene could be interpreted as a danger, her presence in the music video gives the impression that she is a danger to Russ and possibly caused him to be in the predicament he is in right now. This is further supported by the lyrics when a female’s voice says ‘Maybe you should pull the f’ing trigger’ and it shows the same woman from earlier on. From that moment on when the beat drops, it dramatically changes from the bright scene to a darker scene. The dramatic change in scenes and locations imply that Russ was within a dream and had just come to realisation. In addition to this it could also be said that he was in a temporary coma due to him possibly being shot, hence the song title ‘Pull the trigger’. The video carries on to show what seems to be flashbacks prior to him being shot, these flashbacks are used to give the audience of a possible idea for the reason as to why he got shot. The idea of danger is continously seen throughout the music video, this is done through the display of guns throughout the video. Guns and the female actor are used to display the sense of danger in the video, it could be interpreted that his desire for lust is a cause for him getting shot. in addition to this, the flashbacks reveal his involvement in what can be assumed to be illegl actvities. These factors all come into play to display the reason why he wakes up in the condition we see him in. The concept of pulling the trigger can be taken into account as a sign of betrayal, this is shown nearing the end when the girl he was with appears next to the man who's trying to kill Russ.
