On “ASSHOLE,” long-time best friends and collaborators Russ and Bugus unapologetically admit that their self-centered ways have resulted in their success.
In an interview with BigBoyTV about SHAKE THE SNOW GLOBE’S release, Russ reveals that the song was inspired by Kanye West’s 2010 song “Runaway.”
[Chorus: Russ]
People tell me I'm an asshole
Tell me something that I don't know
Ask me how I'm so casual
I don't know, it comes natural
People tell me I'm an asshole (Oh, oh)
Tell me something that I don't know (Oh, oh)
Ask me how I'm so casual (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't know, it comes natural
[Verse 1: Bugus]
Uh, never take a rest day, million-dollar sensei
Your boyfriend couldn't fuck with me on his best day
I be wearin' diamonds, y'all be wearin' rhinestones
Y'all be in the same place, I be switchin' time zones
Every day I celebrate, every day a milestone
When my phone vibrate, y'all be gettin' dial tones
I don't wanna talk to niggas I done passed up
Please respect my space like NASA
Don't say shit when I go in public
When I'm in your presence, so disgusted
I don't feel your energy, I hope it doesn't
Rub off on me, please don't touch me
Me and you have nothin' in common
I'm so disgusted, it makes me wanna vomit
If you have my number, please go delete that
I'ma always see that as positive feedback
[Chorus: Russ]
People tell me I'm an asshole
Tell me something that I don't know
Ask me how I'm so casual
I don't know, it comes natural
People tell me I'm an asshole (Oh, oh)
Tell me something that I don't know (Oh, oh)
Ask me how I'm so casual (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't know, it comes natural
[Verse 2: Russ]
Yeah, yeah, executive visions of bettin' and winnin'
Women stressin' and trippin', bet you regret your decision
I'm just too honest, you're too fragile, you call me asshole, I love it
If I call and you decline, then try to call me back, I dub it
You're an asshole (Yeah)
Go 'head and just say it
You're an asshole (Know you want to)
I can tell you been waitin'
I'm an asshole
Or really it's you (Facts)
'Cause if I did you how you do me, you would be one too (Bitch)
So this is fuck everybody energy that I'm on
Always told me that I'd be me when I'm on
So I'm still me, it's still fuck you if you not
On team R-U-double-S with the yacht
In his brain way before he made a paddle boat (Thinkin')
Pass a lot of time between, had to battle hope (Yeah)
That's how it goes, they don't approach if they not benefitin' (Fake)
I'm at they throats, Milan's coat got a weapon in it (Brrah)
You know my life by itself is a lot to handle
Payroll so full like a gospel sample
Let alone my career, where my peers in this shit? (Yeah)
Clown for a year and disappear real quick (Yeah)
When I say the truth, it's like they fear that shit
Cool, drown on their boats, I'ma steer my ship
Just watch (Watch), they gon' try and ride the wave (Yeah)
They gon' double back on statements, tryna hide the hate, fuck it
Trustin' season is a wrap (Yeah)
I'm up in every meeting with a bat and I'm comin' back (Hah)
It's a joke, not literally, figuratively
Sometimes I think if I was quiet, how much bigger I'd be
But then I'm livin' for y'all (Fuck you), not livin' for me
Couple million dollar difference ain't a difference to me (Cash)
Got a really big bank, but I ain't afraid to blow it
Bitch, I love me to death and I ain't afraid to show it
[Chorus: Russ]
People tell me I'm an asshole
Tell me something that I don't know
Ask me how I'm so casual
I don't know, it comes natural
People tell me I'm an asshole (Oh, oh)
Tell me something that I don't know (Oh, oh)
Ask me how I'm so casual (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't know, it comes natural
