Smooth
Russ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, I'm connected to the truth
Everything is going real smooth
Ooh, I don't know about you
But for me, everything is real smooth

Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth talking (smooth talking)
Smooth, smooth talking
Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth talking (smooth talking)
Smooth, smooth, smooth talking

Yeah, what's a hater? I haven't met one
I just beat the game, you think the refs won
I'm tryna fuck a model so I text one, this life is a blessed one
Gave the world a lot, so now it's my turn to get some
Next month, shows lined up, gonna gross Ms
Didn't hire randoms, I gave jobs to my close friends
We in Paris like we spoke French
My parents got no rent, son is doing well, life is smooth

Ooh, I'm connected to the truth
Everything is going real smooth
Ooh, I don't know about you
But for me, everything is real smooth

Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth talking (smooth talking)
Smooth, smooth talking
Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth talking (smooth talking)
Smooth, smooth, smooth talking

Yeah, I sold my textbooks, now it's closed deals and open check books
Millions on my plate, I'm the best cook
I whipped 'em up myself now Russ is ballin' like he's Westbrook
I drew out my dreams, those weren't journals, those were sketchbooks
The seeds were planted deeply, the universe believed me
Now me and my mom are sipping wine in Santorini
Man, I used to walk in dealerships, they'd act like they can't see me
They were on that bull, now they gift me Lamborghinis, life is breezy
I'm just cruisin', even Kylie knows my tracks
Gianna wants a Range, just laid out ninety grand in cash
I'm getting plaques, that shit nothing, I can do it again
And again and again, and again and again, life is smooth

Ooh, I'm connected to the truth
So everything is going real smooth
Ooh, I don't know about you
But for me, everything is real smooth

Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth talking (smooth talking)
Smooth, smooth talking
Yeah, I speak the language




Smooth, smooth, smooth talking
Smooth, smooth, smooth talking
