Lyrics:
This Chicago *!
DJ Pharris
Yo Vic! Take it to 47th Street
Just Blaze on the beat
SC
South side… Hyde Park
Mensa Mansa Musa!
(Just Blaze)

Real as they come
Where I’m from, I’m the trillest one
Raised by the dealers in the village slum
Unemployments high it’s harder to get a gig than to get a gun
They ain’t got no wood shop class so the kids drill for fun
You hear me?
I know the killers well no Free Willy
They make a fiasco out of you for some Free Chili
I can’t lose, I got Allah with me
It’s just me and Ferrari Sheppard up in that 550
God sent me
Had situations but it got sitchy
Got blickies sent on location when it got iffy
They must heard I got my bread up
And they know they can’t catch up
So now they in a pickle that’s a chi glizzy
I’m relishing the moment, * everything is golden
They sleeping on me, man they must be on that melatonin
But, my career is rollin I just needed more exposure
You get exposed I’m son-ing ** no Maury Pauvich
Them Savemoney soldiers hocus pocus
as dope as blue magic in the nose of a smoker
I live the life of mimosas and chauffeurs,
I’m overly focused, oh
My flow ain’t too fast, y’all too slow

Love me or hate me you ** aint make me you could never break me
Oh, and this city? That’s mine. Im sticking my flag in this *
Let me talk to ‘em

*looked in my eyes and said I could never come back
And then they watched me come back
I’m gifted with the Nina
A leader for the young blacks
A hater tweeted a photo with me, asking where the guns at
What you thought was in that Heron Preston shoulder bag *?
One strap
Cuz I’d rather be caught packing then be caught lackin, *
I can pay bond, I can’t buy my way out a casket
I snapback when they started cappin’
Ask em
They put my face on that t-shirt and they saw what happened
Bro put em on a RIP shirt and we called it fashion
That’s on the 5, word to all the Jackson’s
I’m bumping the tribe on a quest
In an electric car relaxing
I’m on the low end
I’m up north on the pole where it’s snowing
They tried to murder the whistleblower
I’m Joseph Snowden
You can go decode it then
Let’s see what you come back with
My hitters work the Freeway
This is deeper than rap *
Nipsey Hussle Flow, this my victory lap *

Wooh! As we proceed
Feels so good
Its like we back at Baseline
Angie wutup!
Dave wutup!
SC wutup!
Success wutup!
Chi-town, we off to the moon
Let’s go!

Man I’m feeling that bro, I love that * bro
People like yourself...
You reaching out to us like, the energy that you giving me right now
Is giving me energy to live bro, to have hope and wanna live
Thats true leadership so stay to that face man
Your true face is that of god

Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Vic rose to public awareness as a member of the eclectic hip-hop band Kids These Days and founder of the Chicago collective SAVEMONEY alongside Chance The Rapper and other local upstarts Joey Purp and Peter CottonTale. His solo debut mixtape INNANETAPE dropped in 2013, igniting immediate accolades (including a spot on the XXL Freshman cover in 2014), and a fortuitous introduction to Jay Z that led to a record deal with Roc Nation. Mensa went on to help Kanye West pen his esoteric song “Wolves” from The Life of Pablo, drop three critically acclaimed EPs (2016’s There’s A Lot Going On, 2018’s Hooligans, and 2020’s V TAPE) and his debut full length The Autobiography (2017), as well as furthering social causes in his hometown through his nonprofit SAVEMONEYSAVELIFE.
In both music and his social activism, Vic challenges the American system responsible for a history of overcriminalization, racial injustice, and issues that affect the lives of people in underserved communities, while showcasing profound levels of consciousness and self-reflection.
