Mensa, Vic - The 1 That Got Away / No Shoes Lyrics

🙏🏾

I like the beat.

I can't see it coming down my eyes
But I gotta let this song cry
I gotta let you know this been on my mind for a long time
But the cat had my tongue
When we were young I told my dogs
You should be having my son
But after one too many van tours to endure
Illusions of grandeur, I left you hanging just like a jury
You were my first love, and you just became secondary
I was busy chasin' pussy like Tom runnin' from Jerry
And that's ass backwards, I know
Like an asthmatic who smoke
I flashback to the laughs we shared, broke as a joke
Not a care in the world, together we prepared for the world
Backstage at the On The Run tour
And I'm there with my girl
By my side when I sign my deal, wavin' hi to my dollar bills
We couldn't buy a meal, now I was worth about a mil'
That shit went to my head like a Sudafed
I used to drive a car to move my Buddha
Now they know my name in Budapest
My money got older, I grew up less
And I do confess, I broke your heart
Like a sledgehammer through the chest
Tryna be known in this music mess
I left the one that knew me best, I left the one that knew me best
Let's hit rewind a little (Can we go back?)
Go back through time just a little
When you were mine, a little (Can we go?)
Just like old times, just a little (Just)
Five eight, six feet with the heels on
Used to be my rhythm but we lost the tempo
Even when I'm right, tell me what I did wrong
Treat me like I'm gone every time I get on
Remember when I put you in that new Benzo?
How you gon' be mad that I'm off of benzo?
Should've kept your ass in the fuckin' friend zone
Maybe I was in a different time zone
'Cause I can't find the time for you, let you tell it (know I woke up blind for you)
I never change my mind for you, (Just to keep my eyes on you)
It's true
But you love to run your mouth, don't you?
(I would run a mile) when you know I'd run a mile for you, with no shoes
I'm addicted to you baby, oh
'Dicted to you baby, addicted to you baby, oh

Charlie Wilson transcends you heaven man 🔥🔥

Charles Hamilton vibes 😋

Reminiscing be like... such a great song.

This had a song that didn't make the cut on The Autobiography

I think the one that got away would've probably been the track but honestly these both have a vibe that could've fit in the autobiography

Vic said - When we were Young I told my dogs you should have my son 🤔🤔🤔 um dogs = men or am I tripping

I see what your saying but what I think he is actually saying is he use to talk to his dogs or 'homies' about this girl he was infatuated with. That "you" is addressing her not his friends.

@Roderick Wilson thats probably right but I definitely didnt get that. To me it seemed like either some weirdly wired line about trusting his homies to the point where he'd be able to leave his kids with thrm and know they will be absolutely fine

Is that a Charlie Wilson/gap band sample on the intro? Where is that from?

I’m tripping it’s Eddie Kendricks

Dee Speed what song

This song screams chance

Not really and im big fan of both

Lol, which Chance?

Way better than that xxxtentacion skins im sorry

Edgar Chayanne If you like Vic just say that nigga don’t diss a dead nigga just to show love

🇺🇸🇵🇦🌬💯🏆

yo low key this song sort of reminds me of drake vibes from his album "Views" anyone sort of feel the same?

Charlie Wilson!? That's unexpected. :0

My shit

I know vic is lame lol but I actually really like this song

@J facts

@Pre Law he's not lame at all. You're just a spineless person.

@Pre Law don't let peer pressure trip you up

@Zintle Mvana No. I just don't like the things that come out of his mouth when there is not a beat accompanying it.

Vic Mensa help me get thru a lot of shit

U said on the gram that uncle Charlie killed it and he did it

Who's singing the chorus in the 1st song. And what's the name of that person's song if It's a sample.

That Guy charlie wilson

@Grizzlywolf93 Thanks man. I figured it out. I was kinda hoping he had a full song with the chorus from the 1st half but I don't think he does.

Worth the wait

I was not expecting a beat transition 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you Vic
