Mensa, Vic - Down On My Luck Lyrics






When I get down on my luck
I hide behind my eyes in Hollywood
They're saying 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 shot gun
[x2]

She likes to dream living in and off and out her 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, why why is she over cool?
Oh 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 'em
Fuck that get down

When I get down on my luck
I hide behind my eyes in Hollywood
They're saying 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 shot gun

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, luck, luck, luck
Down on my luck, down on my luck

Do you think about the things you say you don't?
I know you do, why why is she over cool?
Oh 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 'em
Fuck that get down

    This song has popped into my head a lot recently, I had to come back. It's crazy that this song is 5 years old, I've never payed much attention to time. 5 years ago I was getting up early for school😂, and MTV would play nothing but music vids at 6am. I always caught this one. This vid brings me so much joy & nostalgia.

  36. R.... S....

    House EDM rap that I dont like but he has fucked with other genres that are good.

  37. S.... E....

    Prefer the remix

  38. M.... ....

    Fawwkkk wat happened:,,(

  39. J.... G....

    Back when Vic had potential 😞

    J.... G....

    Jehovanny Garcia bet you his next album gonna be 🔥🔥

  40. D.... ....

    Vic had so much potential man

    D.... ....

    Dami it’s so sad man lol idk what he was gonna be when I first found out about him but not what he is today lol

    D.... ....

    Dami his next album gonna blow just watch

  41. D.... ....

    After 6 years tryna find this song I finally found it. As a DJ you don't know how happy I am!!!

  42. r.... d....

    This song is the best up beat song

  43. T.... K....

    Damnnnnnn
    homie in High School you was the mannnn Homie,
    tf happen to you!

  44. A.... H....

    You know, a lot of people think that you need hit songs to be successful! But that is not always the case! Just saying 🤷🏾‍♀️

  45. D.... M....

    Wtf happened?

  46. B.... ....

    I know Jay popularized the saying if you want the old me listen to my old shit but DAMN Vic i really wish you would look back to this track from a stylistic standpoint because man between here and your first tape you have all the talent and potential in the world. Screw that edgy shit this was a perfect pocket.

    B.... ....

    Borntobethevillain I think once Chance become big Vic felt the need to become overly competitive and probably felt like he deserved the attention change was getting so he thought he needed to become the villain to what Chance was and that ultimately led him to the shit music he makes today 😞

    B.... ....

    Jehovanny Garcia his next album is gonna be fire

    B.... ....

    Borntobethevillain his next album is gonna be fire

  47. S.... M....

    this is when vic was vic - we miss you man

  48. m.... ....

    Proper Track.

  49. L.... B....

    I know the artistes don't necessarily make music for us the fans, they make what they're inspired to make but I'm shocked that this guy basically devolved into a gun toting trap rapper. I thought he was gonna be the 2nd coming of Lupe Fiasco

  50. C.... M....

    Just found this. Old school house beat. Come back to this Vic!!

  51. D.... ....

    Change is bad sometimes, hint hint Vic.

  52. M.... L....

    Is this even the same guy? He looks and sounds so different.

  53. S.... S....

    Sounds like I’m in H&M about to check out

  54. G.... D....

    The fckng Best

  55. R.... M....

    I heard this dude talking about bars on another video, had no idea who he was, so I came here. After watching this hip pop video,Dude has no right to ever mention the words "hip hop" or "bars"...ever.

  56. T.... T....

    Always herd ovv vic but never had respect after tattoo interview keep it true no cover up. An those
    interviews 2, poeple stay hating

  57. D.... M....

    When the music of Vic Mensa was good.

  58. C.... F....

    BEST SONG

  59. S.... d....

    It’s like witnessing a death in the family 😓.... RIP the OG Vic... (I’m mad we all came back here though 💀)

  60. B.... R....

    Possibly one of the best music videos along with the song ive seen. The moral of the story is the club is the devils playground and just puffin the devils lettuce in peace is calm.

  61. 4.... D....

    This is a classic i was 13 when this came out

  62. F.... L....

    I miss this Vic Mensa 😩

  63. c.... M....

    Amazing musical concept

  64. X.... M....

    something dodgy happens to these celebs once they get to a certain level

  65. S.... ....

    He went from this to cross dressing smh.

  66. E.... K....

    The plot of Russian doll lol

  67. y.... e....

    Just seen the new Vic Mensa came back here to remember what he could’ve been😢

    y.... e....

  77. J.... G....

    listening to this song and 2019 and it makes me think of my sophomore year 2013 /:

  78. J.... E....

    I like this one, he kinda reminds me of like a old skool basementjax or daft punk from the 90's..good old days

  79. t.... ....

    Bullets in a Shotgun killed this song for me

  80. J.... -....

    It’s a shame cuz Vic would be so huge if he would’ve stuck this route...but I do respect in not following something you don’t feel comfortable with but damn 🤦🏽‍♂️

  84. W.... M....

    This is how I knew the nigga, now his music trash. This is the Vic Mensa I miss, before the Vic Mensa that dissed a deadman in front of his Mom

  85. B.... ....

    Happy Death Day who??
