Rollin' Like A Stoner
Vic Mensa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of control, I forgot to take my medicine
If I take this pill, that would be death of me
I am a disaster, I don't need a recipe
Tried to be sober, that didn't work for me
I don't know your name, please excuse my memory
Anti-social, get the fuck away from me
I got a problem
Rock star life
I got the salts, I got the spice (vroom, vroom)
Fuck every night
And if she bad I hit it twice, yeah
(Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin')
Rollin' like a stoner
Rollin' like a stoner
Rollin' like a stoner
I got a problem nobody knows
Rollin' like a stoner
Rollin' like a stoner
Rollin' like a stoner
I got a problem nobody knows
One, two, three too many drinks, I think I might forget
How to count to ten, I tend to turn two shots into a fifth
I drive better when I'm drunk, I rock leather like a punk
Hennessy make me dead Kennedys
I get too drunk to fuck
They say "Vic are you okay"?
Dude no way
I don't even know no more
I don't even pour no more, but I be leanin' like a cholo
Tony Hawk I'm goin' overboard, need to take it slow mo'
Your girl treat me like a Polaroid, shake it for a photo
Swi-swi-swimming in alcohol
My, Macro Polo
Baby girl I am a loner, flyin' high and solo
Rollin' like a stoner, out of control
'Cause I got a problem nobody knows
(Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin')
Rollin' like a stoner
Rollin' like a stoner
Rollin' like a stoner
I got a problem nobody knows
Rollin' like a stoner
Rollin' like a stoner
Rollin' like a stoner
I got a problem nobody knows
Pour another cup, yes
Now I'm hearin' voices, in my head
Tellin' me to jump off, of the edge
I got a problem, nobody knows
I got a problem, nobody knows
I got a problem, nobody knows

I saw some reaction and I agree : Mr Vic Mensa is really really underrated! The first music video I saw was Down On My Luck. I still think it is one of the best Music Video's ever.

That's true, but I've been disappointed with Vic lately. What made him special was that he spoke the truth and didn't care about the music "game". But now he's changed a lot. I don't wanna say this but it feels like he sold out. I want the real Vic back.
