The Flute Song
Russ Lyrics

People keep talkin'
People are constantly talking about me

I don't believe (yeah)
I don't believe everything they say

I do whatever I want, whenever I want, I love it
I live my life on my own terms and it makes me happy

People keep talkin', I just keep winning
Despite the haters, I continue to succeed

I'm just like "Fuck it"
I don't care about their opinions

They talkin' reckless, I don't believe 'em, I think they're bluffin'
They speak without thinking and I don't trust their words

They just want clout, I'm just so poppin'
They're only trying to gain attention and I'm already successful

Everybody tryna get a rise out of me (yeah)
Everyone is trying to provoke me

Ex girls tryna get a "Hi" out of me (yeah)
My exes are trying to get my attention

I don't talk back 'less you're worthy (no)
I don't engage in conversation unless you're worth my time

Hangin' plaques up like jerseys (sauce)
I have many achievements to show off

25 actualized, I'm me
At 25, I've become who I am

My family relies on me
My family is counting on my success

Treat 5 stars like my home though
I'm comfortable in luxury environments

Walk around in slippers and robes though
I'm relaxed in my own space

They ain't upholding the code, the industry full of some hoes
Many people in the music industry lack integrity

They lettin' like anything go
People are accepting anything for the sake of popularity

People are shady as fuck
People are disloyal and untrustworthy

I keep to myself, but I feel the energy, though
I stay private but can sense their negativity

None of these people are friends to me, though
I don't consider any of them my friends

I don't put anything past them
I don't underestimate their capacity for betrayal

I don't see none of y'all next to me, though
I don't view them as equal to me

I think they mad that I passed them
They're jealous of my success

I been goin' hard on my Kobe number 8 shit
I've been working hard like Kobe Bryant did with number 8 on his jersey

Course they're gonna hate but I signed up for greatness
I expected the hate but still strive for greatness

That comes with the territory, ain't no way around it, I know that
I understand that criticism is inevitable with success

I been way up in the Hills reflectin', I cannot go back
I've been contemplating my life in Beverly Hills and can't go back to my old ways

Beverly Hills, skyline view
I have an excellent view of Beverly Hills

I move smart, got a high IQ
I am intelligent and make calculated moves

Right next to me where you find my crew
My crew is by my side

All of them fight, bitch, I fight too
My crew is loyal and we are willing to fight for each other

Highlight moves every time I play
I always make noteworthy advancements in my career

Get what I want every time I pray
I pray for my desires and they come true

I be doin' good but they don't wanna talk about it
My achievements are overlooked

If you really got a grip on my life, I say
If you think you understand my life, think again

I do whatever I want, whenever I want
I live my life on my own terms

People keep talkin', I just keep winning
Despite the constant criticism, I continue to succeed

They talkin' reckless, I don't believe 'em, I think they bluffin'
I don't trust their words and think they're simply trying to gain attention

They just want clout, I'm just so poppin'
They're trying to gain popularity while I am already successful
