Down On My Luck
Vic Mensa Lyrics
When I get down on my luck I hide behind my eyes in Hollywood
They say ain't what you know but who you know
You need to know someone to know no one
When I get down on my luck
I roll one up and roll around all by my lonesome
Lost some years, I used to know
I know my fate like bullets in a shotgun
When I get down on my luck I hide behind my eyes in Hollywood
They say ain't what you know but who you know
You need to know someone to know no one
When I get down on my luck
I roll one up and roll around all by my lonesome
Lost some years, I used to know
I know my fate like bullets in a shotgun
She loves to dream, living in and off and out of mind
In space and time, she takes a line and lies her life
Away you might just say she stays to go nowhere
Midnight scenes from an old romantic movie
Usually you'd be there today I say was different
I can take you with me wandering, if you wanna go there
Down on my luck
Down on my luck
Do you think about the things you say you don't?
I know you do, white wine she over cool
Ooh look at you, look at you
Do you think the things you do or who you know?
'Cause they told you to, why you listen to 'em?
Hands up, middle finger to 'em
Fuck that, get down
When I get down on my luck I hide behind my eyes in Hollywood
They say ain't what you know but who you know
You need to know someone to know no one
When I get down on my luck
I roll one up and roll around all by my lonesome
Lost some years, I used to know
I know my fate like bullets in a shotgun
When I get down on my luck, when I get down on my luck
When I get down on my luck, when I get down on my luck
Down on my luck,
Down on my luck
Do you think about the things you say you don't?
I know you do, white wine she over cool
Ooh look at you, look at you
Do you think the things you do or who you know?
'Cause they told you to, why you listen to 'em?
Hands up, middle finger to 'em
Fuck that, get down

Lost some years, I used to know
I know my fate like bullets in a shotgun

She loves to dream, living in and off and out her mind
In space and time, she takes a line & lies her life
Away you might just say she stays to go nowhere
Midnight scenes from an old romantic movie

I can take you with me wondering, if you wanna go there
Down on my luck
Down on my luck

This man completely swayed away from this sound when this is what would of made him a superstar. This shit sound so classic and organic it never gets old
Tomáš Sadil
And Kid Cudi is slowly but surely turning into him.
Crossdressing and doing all kinds of shit.
Wellington Sanissimo
thanks for clearing up the confusion
Truman
This song was ahead of it's time of combiningg hip hop and electronic/house but this one is executed a lot better than most
dobby
It's not 'ahead' of its time. A lot of rappers did this before him, namely Azealia Banks (even before her too tbh)
Moja Slatt
This would be in Euphoria right now
Jocelyn Gordon
My husband.
Austin MacDonald
100% agree 7 years later it still POPS
weirjwerij rweurhuewhr
Look up how hiphop started.
Nas Holston
Vic really had something here. And he decided to go way left.
