Chaz French and director Shomi Patwary came up with a fresh idea for the "IDK" music video. The visuals see life around Chaz French at a standstill as he's hit the proverbial pause button on time. The D.C. rapper is seen roaming through the streets of his hometown as no one else can move around him.

It is a creative video for the standout song, which is featured on Chaz French's latest mixtape These Things Take Time. "IDK" really sees the D.C. rhymer pouring his heart out on the track.

"And I say fuck expectations man fuck what they say/If it’s meant to be then it will find its way/They'll get caught up in the world it’s a temporary state/Just let God plead your case at the end of the day/Cause we will never fall ain’t no point in tripping/Fuck the politician and the system, we done lost too many n---as/To the police and the prison/They got badges, but they bitches/They the killers, we the victims/Ain’t no motherfucking witness/But regardless of the bull we gon show 'em how it’s done/We gon charge it to the game till the victory is won/I'ma do it for my daughter, dad, sister, mama, son/Cause it’s realer than before we ain’t tryna let it go," Chaz French raps.
