Lyrics:
When I think, about all the things I’ve been through
I never would’ve made it, I never would’ve made it without you
A tree can’t grow or bear fruit without roots
Without you here to hold me
Oh I,
Never would’ve,
made it
Oh,
Made it,
I know
For you you for you you
Made it without your love.
Never would’ve made it
Lost sometimes, I won sometimes
Face my fears, can’t run from mine
All the times I crossed the line
All y’all thought I lost my mind
Asked no permission, just forgiveness
They kill the messenger, judge the witness
Your bad decisions bad for business
Offending everybody but you’re mad defensive
Never take em shopping you just be bagging *
Couple magazine covers, I gotta lot of issues
You * up the vibe, you rubbed people wrong
I ain’t gon lie, that night I was rolling and I was stoned
Was it vanity, fair, I had a point tho
But really I shot myself in the foot like Tory, yo
Hurt people hurt people I’ve been on both sides
Found worth in a Bentley, I ain’t rock me no bow ties
You won’t find self love in a check stub
Ain’t no happy ending to that back rub
We was down down baby now we back up
I don’t put it on the boss but I stack up
Never in a million years, they would’ve thought we’d be millionaires
I throw my hands up in the air cuz my grandmomma still in prayer
Never in a million years, they would’ve thought we’d be millionaires
And my hands still in the air cuz my grandmomma still in prayer
Everybody noticed that I was super bogus
Couldn’t afford a Ford but I was super focused
Trapping out my momma basement was bagging eigths then, maybe I’d get my own place if I could get some placements
Fast forward to encores, on packed tours
Fast cars, Scott Storch and passports
Should’ve bought a crib, could’ve paid cash for it
Instead I took it to crazy girls and made em dance for it
I know you going crazy girl, your student loans stupid
Lot of * shooting at you but ain’t no Cupids
In overdrive working overtime for the baby
Don’t let a * with no car drive you crazy
Made some millions
Lost some millions
Been the hero
Been the villain
Diamonds up, it’s la familia
Real recognize real
Y’all not familiar
Never in a million years, they would’ve thought we’d be millionaires.
I throw my hands up in the air cuz my grandmomma still in prayer
In spite of anything you hear while im here let me clear the air
Cuz of you I am somebody
I needed somebody to be somebody, you make me feel like I could be somebody
You make me feel like I could be somebody
Somebody
(Choir, somebody)
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
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.
