Gettin to it Lyrics – Russ

Gettin to it Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Russ]
Russ is reflecting on how far he’s come in life. It’s been a wild ride, full of ups and downs, but now he feels like he’s finally seeing things clearly. He gives credit to himself for pushing through, almost jokingly thanking himself. The repeated “yeah (Come on)” lines add energy and signal that he’s ready to keep going strong, no matter what.

[Verse 1: Russ]
Russ is saying he’s always in motion and won’t slow down for anything. He’s poured his heart, pain, and effort into his journey like it fuels him. He’s fully committed, going through intense pressure, like hitting the gym with anxiety and responsibility on his shoulders. He’s carrying the weight of his family’s future, which makes physical stuff like squats seem small in comparison. He’s got huge tax bills and stress from every direction, and even though he’s got wealth now, it’s not easy. The “ghost” line refers to a fancy car, and how it changes color is like how life constantly shifts. He’s been on this path for a while, even back when he used old tools like MapQuest to plan his way, showing how far he’s come. The stress piles up, but he keeps pulling himself up, dressing sharp but still grinding. He jokes about not having time for self-care or relationships because he’s chasing goals. He calls himself a visionary and stays on a mission. He keeps moving because when you pause too long, problems start to feel even bigger than they are.

[Chorus: Russ]
Russ is saying it doesn’t matter where life takes him, he’s always locked in and working hard. He refuses to slow down or give up, no matter what’s going on around him. If he were to let his weaker side win, he wouldn’t be able to respect himself. He’s focused all the time, always chasing something bigger. The repetition of “getting to it” shows how serious and nonstop his grind really is.

[Verse 2: DJ Lucas]
DJ Lucas talks about tightening up, like getting serious and focused. Even though he’s from a small place (the Valley), he’s made connections in powerful circles. He’s walking a different path, one that’s harder but more rewarding. He talks about how some people get overwhelmed when faced with success, so he stays sharp and ready every day. The Red Sox cap is a way to show he’s staying grounded, while also being smart with his moves. Smoking helps him clear his mind and escape the stress, kind of like unplugging from reality. He went from being overlooked to being someone others now fear or respect. Lighting a joint represents finding hope even in dark times. He remembers his dad’s advice to stay humble, even as success grows. Being with Russ, they’re ready to team up and face whatever comes. He senses tough times ahead but is ready with a metaphorical shovel to dig through it. Even in expensive clothes, he’s not afraid to get messy. If you see him out, just know he’s working, fired up, and determined—nothing’s putting that fire out.

[Chorus: Russ]
Again, Russ emphasizes that no matter the journey or the people with him, he’s always locked in on his goals. He can’t allow weakness or self-doubt to take over. He’s in go-mode all the time, totally focused and driven, with no intention of stopping. The repetition drives home that this hustle is nonstop, day in and day out.
