Lyrics:
[Prod. by Cam:] (Making the Beat)
[Intro]
[Hook]
To get you what you need
Make you love it, make you want it
Cause baby you are so amazing
To get you what you need
Make you love it, make you want it
Cause baby you are so amazing
To get you what you need
Make you love it, make you want it
Cause baby you are so amazing
[Verse 1: Vic Mensa]
Pack the bong, pack the bong, pack the bong, pack it
I'm Pacquiao on the track, flow the tempo you should tap it
Tap out or blackout, black is beautiful say yes indeed
Leave my demons in the dust, conducting electricity
I'm Silkk the Shocker with a fifth of vodka
Bag of drugs in my knickerbockers
Bach on the staff sheet, trying to pen an opera
Sounds so beautiful
Fogging my bifocals window shopping at the Gucci store
Know when you want it, but just can't have it
Especially as an artist, don't that shit make you mad
Just breathe, breathe, breathe, it's all in your head
Know these labels wanna sign me for an arm and a leg
Cut my publishing in half like I have to fold (Origami)
For a dollar, what's a half of a half a whole
Quarter water or Courvoisier
Complicate things when money's what you conversate
But this is just so that you know
[Hook]
To get you what you need
Make you love it, make you want it
Cause baby you are so amazing
To get you what you need
Make you love it, make you want it
Cause baby you are so amazing
To get you what you need
Make you love it, make you want it
Cause baby you are so amazing
[Verse 2: Vic Mensa]
Hold up, hold up, hold up, yo wait up, wait up, I'ma let you finish
But finna be famous one day just really ain't where I fit in
Fell in love when I was fifteen, I guess you could call it tennis
My tendency for this music is so much deeper than business
I build a beat in the morning, record it before the evening
Why is it what seems important seems always to be misleading
I wish I could see the future, just wish I could see the future
Tell me everything be okay just like my momma used to
My youths unfolding before me, be twenty before I know it
I'm trying to write my Illmatic, get TVs that's panoramic
Was riding around in a rental and I don't mean it was rented
Totalled my momma's Prius, I vaguely remember spinning
I fell asleep from the studio
Must've been saved cause no one hit me
They made a list about Chicago rappers and they skipped me
Maybe because I'm so much more
Forget what you not, this is about what you are
[Hook]
To get you what you need
Make you love it, make you want it
Cause baby you are so amazing
To get you what you need
Make you love it, make you want it
Cause baby you are so amazing
To get you what you need
Make you love it, make you want it
Cause baby you are so amazing

SAVEMONEY. ORANGE SODA. INNANETAPE
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.

I feel like crying. It’s like after a certain point people stopped caring about the art of music.

[@ForeverGambino3]

[@jamalallen8047]

Yesssssss

[@llamapartyy]

vic is far too gone, lol

[@worlddomin623]

Man...this video really represents the zeitgeist of the culture going on in Chicago at the time. I was in high school then, and Acid Rap was fresh and everyone was listening to it almost everywhere people met up. Just about every smoke sesh people would be talking about it and/or listening to it. Then Chance played at The Grove stage at Lolla that summer, probably one of the most overpacked shows at that stage ever, with people fainting and shit. Anyways, Chance, Vic, Tokyo Shawn, everyone from Kids These Days, Nico Segal, etc. All these people came up at the same time in the same city, taking part in and contributing to the music scene that existed at the time, and by extension, represented youth culture as it was in Chicago. Chilling, smoking, and drinking on rooftops, back porches or wherever you could with friends, friends of friends, and even people you don't know; all while listening to the music of the artists aforementioned. You can call that a party I guess, but around that time, things were still so chill, Snapchat and Instagram hadn't consumed everyone by that point, and people were just chill, idk how else to put it lol. If you were growing up in Chicago at that time, hopefully you know what I mean. In short, the incredible energy, positivity, and creativity of the music coming out of this scene at that time is in my opinion what gave rise to the fame and recognition that most of the artists mentioned received in the years following this relatively short zeitgeist in Chicago.

[@anthonytruman]

Well said. The music and different styles that came out of this time is very unique and refreshing

[@jackmorris2665]

yes this went all the way to the suburbs. Chicago really just be in its own world.

[@mikeropenas2515]

You perfectly described that era. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but it’s so sad to see how their careers changed. They had the hip hop world by the balls, and still managed to let it slip through their grasp by 2016ish. They were pumping out classic music early on, and ended settled for mediocrity and main stream sounds. So sad 😕

[@rudysinz9769]

that scene helped take out the negative look Chicago had because of the drill scene. It showed the other side of Chicago that outsiders (like my self) can tune in and see that it’s not just kill kill in Chicago there’s a whole indigo culture there just like New York

[@KevinJXT38]

SO spot on! Forever love my city.

what is selling out? signing with a label or switching his style? honestly I'd rather have him on Jay-Z team than anyone else. and his new music is more on shit he been thru and police corruption. homie just opened up his mind and realized how fucked up the world is. I think he just gotta vent out all that shit and maybe hopefully he'll make some classic music like this. I don't see him as a sellout though. sometimes when you vent, that's the shit that gets you poppin', that's the, "oh he speaking real shit now!" i'ma remain a fan of Vic man, dude's incredible.
