Cozart attended Dulles Elementary School and later Banner High School on Chicago's South Side, which is where he got his career start. In December 2011, he was arrested on a weapons charge (aggravated unlawful use of a weapon) and put under house arrest at his grandmother's home. While under house arrest, Cozart posted several videos to his YouTube account. The attention he received grew in the short time between the release of several mixtapes and several music videos, including "Bang," "3Hunna," and "I Don't Like." After two locally successful mixtapes, "I Don't Like" became a local hit in Chicago. It also caught fellow Chicago rapper Kanye West's attention, and West organized a remix of the song along with rappers Pusha T, Jadakiss, and Big Sean. On July 7, 2012, it was announced that Chief Keef would be performing at the 2012 Lollapalooza music festival.
In the following years, Keef has served up a continuous stream of releases, such as Back From the Dead 2 (2014), Bang 3 (2015), and Thot Breaker (2017). Critics have cited Chief Keef as a major influence on contemporary hip hop through his impact on artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Tupac and various collaborations.
Get That Sack
Chief Keef Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The clouds gon' red Be-fore I get some money
I'm riding in my 2 door, running from cops
I'm by my lonely you see how I shine
Boy just tell me how bad you want it
I'm like "Go and get that sack!"
Go and get that sack
Why is you mad?
I'm riding in foreign's they mad
I'm in the mansion, where you live at?
Put the guns in the bag, weed in the blunt
Blunt I'm my hand
Cash up in my pants, getting the top
Fucking a bitch
I'm so fly, bitch I'm so high, I got jet lag
I walk in the store, spending the cash
Flappin' them bands
Member sellin' rocks, now I'm the man
I'm on demand
Pull up to the light, fexlin' a lot
What is you in?
I'm sippin' the lean, smoking the dope
Don't do the xan's
They like "Why you running so
Slow? On a tight rope, and how did you win?"
I tell 'em "I'm glo
I got the dope when my slow was fast"
Cookin' the swag, leave it to me
I be the man
I was on my way to go and get some money
The clouds gon' red Be-fore I get some money
I'm riding in my 2 door, running from cops
I'm by my lonely you see how I shine
Boy just tell me how bad you want it
I'm like "Go and get that sack!"
Go and get that sack
Coulda bought me a boat
I bought a i8 like what is you on?
I'm not driving slow, driving so fast
Like where is you going?
They like, you got the cash
You got the swag, but where is you born?
I'm from Chiraq, but if you make it out
Then you won don't wanna fuck the hoe
Make them mow my lawn
I won't look at the hoe
But made her do my laundry
I know I got a maid, but my maid is gone
She don't speak Ingles
Bitch my maid is foreign
I was on my way to go and get some money
The clouds gon' red Be-fore I get some money
I'm riding in my 2 door, running from cops
I'm by my lonely you see how I shine
Boy just tell me how bad you want it
I'm like "Go and get that sack!"
Go and get that sack
