Vic Mensa - There's Alot Going On Lyrics
Yeah, this just my life
Front to back, top to bottom
Everything's changing around me
These days don't feel the same
Why must we play this game?
Lord have mercy on me
I've been a sinning man
Pull out my wings, jump off the bridge
And crash in a plane, if I never land
Know I never die
We live forever in my mind
And I sanctify
We live forever, still alive
There's a lot going on but I stick to the ones I love
I never claimed to be a perfect man but name a great man who was
Consequences of my actions in the past years had me stressing out
It was like, May, I just moved to L.A., I was tryna figure it out
Medication for depression that I cut cold turkey, had the kid manic
In an episode out in Hollywood, wilding out like Nick Cannon
Railing Adderall pills out a dollar bill, on the bathroom floor
Clean the whole mess up with my nose, what the fuck I need a vacuum for?
New York City on my birthday, June 6th, 2014
I had that first meeting with Hov, plus I brought out the whole team
I drank that whole bottle of D'usse Ty Ty gave me that night
When we left the club, at the Rap Genius house me and shorty got into a fight
She came out the room swingin', hit me in the jaw
I was really tryna fend her off
But I ended up in the closet with my hands around her neck
I was tripping, dawg
Too proud to apologize or empathize, I blamed it all on her
Saying that she hit me first, even though she was the one hurt
I was really just reflecting all the hurt that I was feeling from the band's rejection
When Kids These Days split, that shit felt like a c-section
And my infidelity and jealousy with Natalie on top of the amphetamines
And the ecstasy had me tryna drown face down in the Chesapeake
The next month I dropped "Down on My Luck" and had Europe going nuts
But I couldn't even appreciate it at the time, I was going through too much
Now I had to leverage million dollar label deals on the table for my records
In Ibiza eating paella on the roof, tryna choose over breakfast
Hov wasn't with the bidding war, but I knew the Roc just felt right
When I saw Kanye at Wireless, without T-Pain, still a good life
Felt so close when Mr. Hudson introduced me to him backstage
He prolly don't even remember that shit... like a bitch off Backpage
But at that stage, I was ready to swing for the fence like a batting cage
At the same time, I was winding down a low point in my addict phase
The Adderall started wearing off and I went into a deep writer's block
All over a song that I couldn't finish that I wrote about signin' to the Roc
Isn't that ironic? I was feeling so psychotic
With the whole world excited for me and my idol saying I got it
Shit got bad out in L.A., so I moved back home to my mom's basement
Linked up with Smoko and Papi Beatz and took it back to basics
Then I wrote "Rage," that was me screaming out through the pain
And "U Mad," addressing my relationship with Natalie, it was too bad
The violence and the lies slipped suicide into my mental health
I did acid in the studio one day and almost killed myself
As I started to fall apart, certain stars started to align
Om'Mas came to Chicago in January at the perfect time
He said Kanye was working on an album, and Uzi played him one of our songs
He was tryna fly me out, nigga, it was goin' down like the Dow Jones
Pulled up to Westlake, first day I was there, I recorded "Wolves"
I knew I was the one, like Neo meeting with the Oracle
But I had to get a handle 'fore the door was pulled
Crawled out on SNL
All the niggas hating on me back home lookin' at me like, "FML"
A lot of people coming out the wood like, "Let's work," tryna network
All the pressure making my head hurt, the molly wouldn't let the meds work
At this time it's like Feb. 1st to the 15th, and I'm still addicted
Frustrated, writing shit for Ye, tryna visualize someone else's vision
Then he laid that verse on "U Mad" and we made the shit the single
Ye and Hov getting into it over me, tryna do a joint venture
And G.O.O.D. Music still fam, but it's that Roc boy SAVEMONEY life
Took the bus out on the road for the Traffic tour, did a hundred nights
Cleaned out my closet, I got rid of all of my demons
If you learn one thing from my journey, nigga it's don't stop believing
When this shit got so suffocating I could barely even keep breathing
Wrote my wrongs all in this song now I'd like to welcome y'all to my season
Nigga I'm gone
Know I never die
We live forever in my mind
And I sanctify
We live forever, still alive

Vic Mensa There's Alot Going On Comments
This has been my favorite song for years. It got me through the darkest days of my addiction. One day at a time
This is fireeeeeee 🔥
So fucking good
This is really damn good why is he a trash clout chaser now smh?
he's not a clout chaser he just says dumb shit lol
2020 anyone ?
Trash woman beater
Ha. This video was shot on my birthday, May 26th
Aye that nigga gay he not wearing underwear
Where did he go wrong? :(
Miss this Vic
Keeping it 💯 on what artists are going through! Thanks Vic for being Honest with yourself and Fans. Keep making these hits for US💪🏾😍 The SOTA (651) MN-MUTT
Railing Adderall pills damn
recently foun this dude gotta admit hes fire
vic mensa is gay
all this wasted potential
How did Vic go from this to punk rock?
Well you can see his Nirvana tattoo on his forearm (the weird smiley face), alongside the heavy rock influence in not only this song and project but apprently since he started making music with Kids These Days. It shouldn't be a shock when he has expressed on several occasions to first have gravitated to Rock music as a child before "being racialized by the word" at age 10-11. I mean, back in 2016 Ebro asked him if he was going to relase a Rock project and Vic said he would like to. I don't know how this all came to shock you beloved, minus Vic getting his Fenty Beauty on in a dress lol. But that was the thing that made Vic so fresh tho and don't listen to Rock at all for the same reasons Vic started listening to Hip Hop as a kid.
This is tight storyteller 🙏🏾 salute bro
This is tight storyteller 🙏🏾 salute bro
Who's still here in 2019?!
This ass tbh sorry not hating it's my opinion
This song never blew up like we expected it to .
Can somebody tell me why ?
For the same reason "Alright" by Kendrick Lamar isn't his biggest single, topics that cover social politics aren't the most commercially palatable. Due our socity being politically heterogeneous, also Vic isn't pushed as much as other acts.
Garbage
this the vic we took for granted
Why was this taken off Spotify?
Yeah, this just my life
Front to back, top to bottom
Everything's changing around me
These days don't feel the same
We all lost faith and lost family
Why must we play this game?
Lord have mercy on me
I've been a sinnin' man
Pull out my wings, jump off the bridge and crash in a plane
If I never land
Know I never die
We live forever in my mind
And I say goodbye
We live forever, still alive
There's a lot goin' on but I stick to the ones I love
I never claimed to be a perfect man but name a great man who was
Consequences of my actions in the past years had me stressin' out
It was like, May, I just moved to L.A., I was tryna figure it out
Medication for depression that I cut cold turkey, had the kid manic

What happened to vic
Im going threw to much yall ready to give up.😢
This song kept me sane in 2016
This was the real Vic Mensa he coulda been doing music with x if he stayed on the right track but I don’t know this new Vic either he’s himself or he being controlled
He has officially killed his career.
Reverse is one of his most successful singles yet it was released on his Hooligans EP which came out at the end of December 2018. He never was a super star, he had super star talent but not recognition. But that man eating well, worth about 3 million doing what he loves, don't feel sad for the brother.
Fuck you!
October 2019 who is with me
This nigga ass
Wow so fucken trash
most beautiful shit vic ever made... fuck the rockstar vic😞😞😞
thegoat The damn chorus is Rock, the EP is about 25-30% Rock and he’s been making Rock since Kids These Days when nobody was fuckin with him. Y'all have some false interpretation of the man yall fell in love with, which is pretty sus lol.
“ I never claimed to be a perfect man but name a great man who was”
Epic line 🔥
I feel this vibe, reminds me of The Show Goes on by Lupe
💪🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro your sick
Yo we got the same birthday my nigga June 6 94
Here cuz of 6ix9ine
This is like Vic Mensas Last Call
momma christine smiley i love ya miss u rip sept 25 2019
Damn this nigga sucks i got better bars than him and im only 2
A lot is two words lol
He knows, the scarpped album was titled "traffic" this was supposed to lead up to it. He had a theme of being late or something I guess lol.
Whos still here in 2019
Diogo Barros I’m still waiting for his sophomore album
Still that slap boy
Vic what happened bruh, change is good but this>>>>>his new shit
The potential was there .... what happened man ?
Searched thjs song cuz I knew nothing about him, this nigga trash lmao.
His flow is so unique and littt
What happened to Vic? This song is cold asf to what he’s dropping now.
This song got me through a lot of shit back in 2016. Shits too slept on
Had a rlly bad football practice today, I got home and just listened to this in the shower and it helped ease me so much
This iight. Nice name drops tho...its the ROC! 🙌🏽
Unreal, love it man
Need this Vic back
First time hearing his music. This song was 🔥🔥🔥. Any other suggestions?
Bro it was some time after cuttin of his dreads he started getting trash it was the dreads bro
J'adore
I really thought he was going to change rap when I first heard this...
Yeah I like ya punk singy shit
This song is extremely underrated
dis nigaa suck tryna sing on a deeper level like x the person he dissed in front of his mom fuck dis man
Adriin Jackson lol omg move tf on already dead people aren’t exempt from shit taking if they were shitbags while alive. X’s mom should be disappointed in her sons actions not what Vic pointed out about his actions.
Yesss Vic this song is powerful!!!!! 🙌🏽
A NEW G.O.A.T HAS BEEN BORN...THUMBS UP 👍 IF YUH EARS WORK, 👎 HATE IF YOU BRAIN DEAD #NEWGOAT
I'm sure 100 views are from me
Still listening in 2019
This project was his peak I don't know what happened after
Carlukio same man I don’t know what happened the music he releasing now won’t ever top this album
Speaks volumes to me, being 8 months in recovery and thinking back.
Who's here now?? Still a banger a haha
We need this Vic back 🤧🙏🏼
Sum of my music is similar
huh, another violent black racist shocking
Dats shit was flames. Nigga can really spit. N I only watched this video after seeing the video of him in a dress
This nigga retarded and an industry hoe now but 2012-2017 Vic Mensa will never be forgotten.
He was on the roc when he dropped this fam
Wyatt Trombley i know but i meant industry hoe as in a sense that’s he’s selling out, look at his most recent album, he’s definitely trying to appeal to an audience that’s clearly not his fan base, and retarded because of the x comments
He’s sad
This to wearing a dress.
Needed to come back to this after that shit he dropped yesterday lol so disappointed
Angela O'Neal songs where fire Wym
To be real...
Nothing will ever prolly top this...
@Eric Riddle Word. This was the first Mensa song I heard and I fucking loved it. Looked through the rest of his catalog immediately, hoping I'd found a new favourite artist, but I was really disappointed lol.
Chris Padilla It’s just a rock album, damn! 😂😂😂😂
ghettogov6161 That video wasn’t that bad 😂😂😂
Feeling your songs
So Jay saw this kid needed help and did what?!?!? Fuck him.
Who saw this 2019#fuck Vic
jay howard vlogs Of course it’s a kid saying this
@M Martínez ok it don't matter fuck Vic
Honestly, ur opinion about the stuff Vic said shouldn't affect what u think of his music. It's straight fire
Crazy dope ‼️‼️🔥🔥
どなたか、歌詞を日本語に訳して頂けたら嬉しいです。
お願いします🙇♂️
Who else loves him like dis if you do
Him singing and when I try singing I sound like a die ing horse😞
Dont diss xxxtentacion no more or if you dont somone will fuck you up
You have got to respect this kind of honesty. Bravery. Insight. Wow!
wow...
i don't care.
This dude dug his own grave. Don’t pity him, he brought up the domestic stuff because he’s still struggling his problems but this so good. But just imagine how bad he already feels
This is great!!! Sooo talented
This ain't it
1:17 umm Jesus
Good storyteller
Isaiah tha playah I don’t see the great lyricism
Honestly, I’ve listened to this song a lot since it came out and yeah, he’s a great storyteller, this is probably his best album though
EXQUISITE
Damn this man can tell a story.
J Will it’s a true story
