MAKE A SCENE VINCE CALIBER [Intro — original WATCH ME vocal sample and brass] [Vince — dry, conversational] Man, what the hell going on over here? Everybody got something to prove. Aight. Let’s see. [Verse 1 — relaxed swagger, horns answer punchlines] Walked in the spot, whole room on ten Somebody yelling at the door, trying to get his friends in Said he knew the owner, owner said, “Who?” Now he standing by the velvet rope looking confused Girl threw a fit ‘cause her drink came late Told the whole damn staff she was somebody great Bartender said, “Cool, can you tell me your name?” She said, “You don’t know me?” He said, “That’s what I’m saying.” [Horns hit — short pause] Damn. Everybody famous tonight. [Verse continues — tight rhythmic bounce] Dude in the back got a chain and a scowl Told me he don’t dance, now he moving through the crowd Stepped on somebody’s shoe, started talking all reckless Five seconds later, asking where they serve breakfast Look, I ain’t saying everybody gotta act right But damn, can a brother have a regular Saturday night? One man wants a fight, one woman wants a crown Everybody got a spotlight, ain’t nobody sitting down [Hook — punchy Vince chant, brass responses] Make a scene! (Hey!) Go ahead, make a scene! Everybody got a story, everybody wanna be seen Big talk, big moves, everybody on ten Funny how the drama always starts with “Who’s your friend?” Make a scene! (What?) Go ahead, make a scene! Whole room looking like a reality TV dream I came for the music, now I’m caught up in between If you gonna act a fool, at least make a good scene [Instrumental break — WATCH ME sample and horns, no Vince] [Verse 2 — playful, sharp wordplay] Man at the table started talking investments Five minutes later needed help with the check, man Said he’s independent, got his own operation Then he asked his little sister for a Cash App donation She said, “You got money?” He said, “It’s complicated.” She said, “Your whole personality’s heavily inflated.” I almost lost my drink, couldn’t hold back the laughter That’s a whole damn movie with a terrible first chapter [Brief pause] And we ain’t even got to the good part. [Verse continues — natural breathing, confident] DJ tried to calm it down, played a little something smooth Somebody climbed a chair, said, “Let me show you how to move” Chair gave up, man went down, shoes went flying He stood up, brushed it off, said, “I meant that. I was trying.” Now the whole room cheering like he planned the whole disaster He became a legend and he never moved faster It’s a strange little world, sometimes I can’t explain How the worst night of your life can be somebody’s claim to fame [Hook — stronger drums, same cool delivery] Make a scene! (Hey!) Go ahead, make a scene! Everybody got a story, everybody wanna be seen Big talk, big moves, everybody on ten Funny how the drama always starts with “Who’s your friend?” Make a scene! (What?) Go ahead, make a scene! Whole room looking like a reality TV dream I came for the music, now I’m caught up in between If you gonna act a fool, at least make a good scene [Break — horns and original WATCH ME sample] [Vince — speaking] Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. Why everybody looking at me? [Verse 3 — witty reversal, relaxed pocket] Turns out while I was talking, telling jokes about the crowd I was standing on a speaker, saying everything too loud Whole room watching while I’m pointing at the rest Bartender said, “Congratulations, you’re the biggest mess.” [Short pause] Well, shit. He might have a point. [Verse continues — controlled swagger] I was talking about the drama like I wasn’t in the cast Got a front-row seat, started acting like the brass Now I’m laughing at myself, ain’t no shame in getting caught Sometimes everybody needs to hear the lesson that they taught See, the room ain’t got a villain, just a hundred little stories Everybody chasing moments, everybody chasing glory Some make it complicated, some just wanna have some fun I came to watch the circus, now I’m standing in the sun [Horns respond] [Final hook — full energy, no shouting] Make a scene! (Hey!) Go ahead, make a scene! Everybody got a story, everybody wanna be seen Big talk, big moves, everybody on ten Funny how the drama always starts with “Who’s your friend?” Make a scene! (What?) Go ahead, make a scene! Whole room looking like a reality TV dream I came for the music, now I’m caught up in between If you gonna act a fool, at least make a good scene [Outro — brass and vocal chops] [Vince — dry, amused] Man… I came here to mind my business. Apparently, I ain’t got none. [Original WATCH ME sample — instrumental ending]
