There's Alot Going On - Vic Mensa[00:00:00]
Written by:Victor Mensah/Alex "Papi Beatz" Baez/Darian Garcia/Kevin Rhomberg/Carter Lang/Peter CottonTale[00:00:00]
Yeah this just my life[00:00:02]
Front to back top to bottom[00:00:09]
Everything's changing around me[00:00:15]
These days don't feel the same[00:00:18]
We all lost faith and lost family[00:00:22]
Why must we play this game[00:00:26]
Lord have mercy on me[00:00:29]
I've been a sinning man[00:00:33]
Pull out my wings jump off the bridge and crash in a plane[00:00:36]
If I never land[00:00:40]
Know I never die[00:00:42]
We live forever in my mind[00:00:48]
And I sanctify[00:00:56]
We live forever still that life[00:01:02]
There's a lot going on but I stick to the ones I love[00:01:11]
I never claimed to be a perfect man but name a great man who was[00:01:14]
Consequences of my actions in the past years had me stressing out[00:01:18]
It was like may I just moved to l a[00:01:21]
I was tryna figure it out[00:01:24]
Medication for depression that I cut cold turkey had the kid manic[00:01:25]
In an episode out in hollywood wilding out like nick cannon[00:01:29]
Railing adderall pills out a dollar bill on the bathroom floor[00:01:32]
Clean the whole mess up with my nose[00:01:35]
What the f**k I need a vacuum for[00:01:37]
New york city on my birthday june 6 th 2014[00:01:39]
I had that first meeting with hov plus I brought out the whole team[00:01:42]
I drank that whole bottle of d'usse ty ty gave me that night[00:01:46]
When we left the club after rap genius house me[00:01:49]
And shorty got into a fight[00:01:52]
She came out the room swingin' hit me in the jaw[00:01:53]
I was really tryna fend her off[00:01:55]
But I ended up in the closet with my hands around her neck[00:01:57]
I was tripping dawg[00:01:59]
Too proud to apologize or empathize I blamed it all on her[00:02:01]
Saying that she hit me first even though she was the one hurt[00:02:04]
I was really just reflecting all the hurt[00:02:08]
That I was feeling from the band's rejection[00:02:09]
When kids these days split that shit felt like a c-section[00:02:11]
And my infidelity and jealousy with natalie on top of the amphetamines[00:02:15]
And the ecstasy had me tryna drown face down in the chesapeake[00:02:18]
The next month I dropped down on my luck and had europe going nuts[00:02:22]
But I couldn't even appreciate it at the time I was going through too much[00:02:25]
Now I had to leverage million dollar label deals on the table for my records[00:02:29]
In ibiza eating paella on the roof tryna choose over breakfast[00:02:33]
Hov wasn't with the bidding war but I knew the roc just felt right[00:02:36]
When I saw kanye at wireless without t-pain still a good life[00:02:39]
Felt so close when mr hudson introduced me to him backstage[00:02:43]
He prolly don't even remember that shit like a bitch off backpage[00:02:47]
But at that stage[00:02:50]
I was ready to swing for the fence like a batting cage[00:02:51]
At the same time I was winding down a low point in my addict phase[00:02:54]
The adderall started wearing off and I went into a deep writer's block[00:02:57]
All over a song that I couldn't finish[00:03:01]
That I wrote about signin' to the roc[00:03:03]
Isn't that ironic I was feeling so psychotic[00:03:05]
With the whole world excited for me and my idol saying I got it[00:03:08]
Shit got bad out in l a[00:03:11]
So I moved back home to my mom's basement[00:03:13]
Linked up with smoko and papi beatz and took it back to basics[00:03:15]
Then I wrote rage that was me screaming out through the pain[00:03:19]
And u mad addressing my relationship with natalie it was too bad[00:03:22]
The violence and the lies slipped suicide into my mental health[00:03:26]
I did acid in the studio one day and almost killed myself[00:03:29]
As I started to fall apart certain stars started to align[00:03:33]
Oh mys came to chicago in january at the perfect time[00:03:37]
He said kanye was working on an album[00:03:40]
And uzi played him one of our songs[00:03:42]
He was tryna fly me out nigga it was goin' down like the dow jones[00:03:44]
Pulled up to westlake first day I was there I recorded wolves[00:03:47]
I knew I was the one like neo meeting with the oracle[00:03:51]
But I had to get a handle 'fore the door was pulled[00:03:54]
Crawled out on snl[00:03:56]
All the niggas hating on me back home lookin' at me like fml[00:03:58]
A lot of people coming out the wood like let's work tryna network[00:04:01]
All the pressure making my head hurt the molly wouldn't let the meds work[00:04:05]
At this time it's like feb 1 st to the 15 th[00:04:08]
And I'm still addicted[00:04:11]
Frustrated writing shit for ye tryna visualize someone else's vision[00:04:12]
Then he laid that verse on u mad and we made the shit the single[00:04:16]
Ye and hov getting into it over me tryna do a joint venture[00:04:19]
And good music still fam but it's that roc boy savemoney life[00:04:23]
Took the bus out on the road for the traffic tour did a hundred nights[00:04:26]
Cleaned out my closet I got rid of all of my demons[00:04:30]
If you learn one thing from my journey nigga it's don't stop believing[00:04:33]
When this shit got so suffocating I could barely even keep breathing[00:04:37]
Wrote my wrongs all in this song now[00:04:40]
I'd like to welcome y'all to my season[00:04:42]
Nigga I'm gone[00:04:44]
Know I never die[00:04:58]
We live forever in my mind[00:05:05]
And I sanctify[00:05:12]
We live forever still that life[00:05:19]
