Raised in Gwinnett County, Rittz embodies the same level of irony and self-conflict as his hometown. Born into a musical family, he, his twin sister and their brother had always been exposed to the inner workings of music. The fact that their parents were heavily into rock and roll ensured that the kids were always around instruments or in studios. The family moved from small-town Pennsylvania (Waynesburg) to the Atlanta outskirts when he was eight years old, and once Rittz got to junior high, his musical tastes evolved. Atlanta’s booming bass and rap movement had traveled north on I-85 to get the entire metro area jumping.

“Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Swag
15’s in the back of the Dodge
And my homies riding with me and the battery charged
I talk about the clientele and tell ‘em they won’t be off
I’m off Atlanta representers and we’re given the yonk
And be, better this car’s and the swap in the squad
They think they swaggin’ but they lame as fuck, we laugh at these boys
Uncontrollably, like we just hit the gravity bong
Half of these rappers too wack to be even rappin' at all
Tryin' to dress up like a widow hopin' that somebody notice ‘em
Make me wanna strike and knock 'em down like they a bowling pin
Maybe I just hold an out of touch attitude is fuck that kids
If you don’t like me go and watch some Nickelodeon, you lil’ motherfucker
I’m over and I stick ‘em up they say their YOLO go off and then provoke 'em
And it’s time for me to tell the difference between a rapper and a singer
Of a rock and roll band, I don’t think that shit’s appropriate
Way too many rappers wanna look like Lenny Krevitz,
Personally I think these pussies get too many passes
Thrift store shopping with the shit your rockin
Looks lame and your music ain’t neat the shit is average
And if that don’t make you madder even better
I don’t sweat on people talking shit about the way I look every day
Long hair, don’t care, wear pair of Air Jordans
And I wear all black, no hook, Fuck Swag!
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
All these rappers wanna bite, like they don’t know how to write
They constantly freestyle and think it’s tight
Every time they say a line with a metaphor in it
They wanna pause, or laugh, or ad-lib
Fake swag, they just copy who they like
Tryin' to sound like Gucci, or Future, or Tunechi
These dudes need a lesson before they get behind a mic
Ain’t nobody buying your records they buyin' in the hype
They was feeling me until they see that I’m white
Now they like “man he raps too fast,"
What you slow homie? You handicapped?
What you need a walker, a hearin' aid, or a fanny pad?
What you unhappy the cheddar’s back, the "Manny Pac"
Of the rap game that can’t relax
I’m ‘bout to raise the bar and they can’t adapt, the cameras flash
Cause they see a STAR when I walk in the room!
North side, Atlanta rap, I bet you wanna walk in my shoes
It’s funny that I’m hot,
Last year I was just cool, when you?
You was too official
Wear the shoe that fits you,
Tied yo’ dick in skinny jeans, take your Louie belt and whip you
The clientele will strip you of your jewelry, would take a pic
And post the shit on Instagram now suck a dick
You bitch you lookin' real dumb,
Still slum, I don’t pleasant hear them
Bumping Big K.R.I.T. and Yelawolf ‘cause I don’t feel punk
Rappers with no skills come and witness me, I killed them
You fuckin’ with me, I’m the real one, Fuck Swag!
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag
Fuck swag

Fuck swag
Expressing disdain for superficial style and following trends
15’s in the back of the Dodge, Out the garage
Driving around with his friends and bumping loud music
I talk about the clientele and tell ‘em they won’t be off

I’m off Atlanta representers and we’re given the yonk
Proudly representing Atlanta and creating good music
They think they swaggin’ but they lame as fuck, we laugh at these boys
Making fun of people who try too hard with their fashion and style choices
Half of these rappers too wack to be even rappin' at all
Calling out unskilled and talentless rappers
Maybe I just hold an out of touch attitude is fuck that kids
Not caring if people dislike him, especially younger fans
If you don’t like me go and watch some Nickelodeon, you lil’ motherfucker
Telling haters to watch TV for children instead of criticizing him
And it’s time for me to tell the difference between a rapper and a singer
Distinguishing between different types of musical artists
Way too many rappers wanna look like Lenny Krevitz
Pointing out how many rappers copy styles from other musicians
Thrift store shopping with the shit your rockin. Looks lame and your music ain’t neat the shit is average

Verse 1]
I got crown in my cup
I got crown, am I drowning
Migh-, I might, I might drown in my tub
This some powder, that Whitney
That powder's powerful stuff
Binge watching Power for hours
Man a power outage would suck
Even though I'm out of it
I don't think that I'm out of it drunk
I go outside of my house
And the front is cloudy as fuck
Fucked up 'cause the cloudiness caused-
Me to feel down, need to chill out
I can't crawl out of the dumps
A lot of drowsiness
I'm drowsy from the Valiums I took-
Earlier, five minutes later my neighbor came out and waved to me with his 9 year old son
Geeked up on a five-day-long run
And it just occurred that I'm shirtless with a gun inside of my trunks
I should go inside, I might've frightened 'em
So white I might burn
Put on a shirt, lеft herb in the tray
I had to skip on the blunt
Got rolling papеrs, changed the channel 'cause a sitcom was on
Did too many drugs to pay attention, thinking negative thoughts
Heart beating, panickin' ate my Xanax's and I chased it with scotch
Like fuck todayChorus]
Drunk another day
Wanna run away
Try'na numb the pain, but I can't
What a shame
It's a fucked up day
Another fucked up day
I'm drunk another day
Wanna run away
Try'na numb the pain, but I can't
Verse 2]
I woke up on the floor
I woke up, I'm still drunk
I must've broke something, I'm sore
I must've fucked up for sure
Looks like my knuckles are busted
My knuckles scuffed with no skin
This ain't the first time 'cause the first was the worst
I done done it again
Done, done, done, done so many dumb things
Looked around and studied the mess
Look there goes one of my, one of my chef knifes
Right up under my desk
Looks like, like I done did my usual, becoming obsessed
With getting drunk and telling people I'ma cut off they head
Cut off by, cut off by friends-
Family, damn there's a bottle
It's got a couple sips left
I don't give a fuck if it spits
Bang, bang, bang, bang on the door
My lady saying "Hey, you awake?"
I told her first "I know you're mad
What happened? Can you explain?"
Said "Well you cussed out my sister and then you threatened to smack her
You chased her outside with a knife because she dissed Michael Jackson
You started punching the hood of your car, harassing the neighbors
You did a line on IG Live then cried all night like a baby
This gotta stop"
[Chorus]
Drunk another day
Wanna run away
Try'na numb the pain, but I can't
What a shame
It's a fucked up day
Another fucked up day
I'm drunk another day
Wanna run away
Try'na numb the pain, but I can't
What a shame
It's a fucked up day
Another fucked up today
Drunk another day
Wanna run away
Try'na numb the pain, but I can't
What a shame
It's a fucked up day
Another fucked up day

Getting to experience such a musical progression like this is rare. Following Rittz throughout his career from when he basically had nothing and on the brinks of calling it quits, to who we became today is great and seeing him push even further just keeps raising up the level! CNT is here & I'm fucking with it every step of the way.
