Lyrics:
Hello this is a pre-paid collect call from
James Warren
An inmate at Dixon Correctional Center
Ay whatʼs up blood what you on man? Damn itʼs loud as hell
Aye you in the studio right now
Aye aye aye bro check it out
My homie right here bro he be singing and shit going crazy Hold on
Ay check it out man
Iʼm so glad youʼre alive
You survived
They wanted you to die Keep your head to the sky Iʼll be there when you cry
Youʼre still alive
Youʼre still alive
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.
