His poetry is for fucked up millennials and teens.
[Intro]
Yeah, this just my life
Front to back, top to bottom
[Bridge]
Everything's changing around me
These days don't feel the same
We all lost faith and lost family
Why must we play this game?
Lord have mercy on me
I've been a sinning man
Pull out my wings, jump off the bridge
And crash in a plane, if I never land
[Hook]
Know I never die
We live forever in my mind
And I sanctify
We live forever, still alive
[Verse]
There's a lot going on but I stick to the ones I love
I never claimed to be a perfect man but name a great man who was
Consequences of my actions in the past years had me stressing out
It was like, May, I just moved to L.A., I was tryna figure it out
Medication for depression that I cut cold turkey, had the kid manic
In an episode out in Hollywood, wilding out like Nick Cannon
Railing Adderall pills out a dollar bill, on the bathroom floor
Clean the whole mess up with my nose, what the fuck I need a vacuum for?
New York City on my birthday, June 6th, 2014
I had that first meeting with Hov, plus I brought out the whole team
I drank that whole bottle of D'usse Ty Ty gave me that night
When we left the club, at the Rap Genius house me and shorty got into a fight
She came out the room swingin', hit me in the jaw
I was really tryna fend her off
But I ended up in the closet with my hands around her neck
I was tripping, dawg
Too proud to apologize or empathize, I blamed it all on her
Saying that she hit me first, even though she was the one hurt
I was really just reflecting all the hurt that I was feeling from the band's rejection
When Kids These Days split, that shit felt like a c-section
And my infidelity and jealousy with Natalie on top of the amphetamines
And the ecstasy had me tryna drown face down in the Chesapeake
The next month I dropped "Down on My Luck" and had Europe going nuts
But I couldn't even appreciate it at the time, I was going through too much
Now I had to leverage million dollar label deals on the table for my records
In Ibiza eating paella on the roof, tryna choose over breakfast
Hov wasn't with the bidding war, but I knew the Roc just felt right
When I saw Kanye at Wireless, without T-Pain, still a good life
Felt so close when Mr. Hudson introduced me to him backstage
He prolly don't even remember that shit... like a bitch off Backpage
But at that stage, I was ready to swing for the fence like a batting cage
At the same time, I was winding down a low point in my addict phase
The Adderall started wearing off and I went into a deep writer's block
All over a song that I couldn't finish that I wrote about signin' to the Roc
Isn't that ironic? I was feeling so psychotic
With the whole world excited for me and my idol saying I got it
Shit got bad out in L.A., so I moved back home to my mom's basement
Linked up with Smoko and Papi Beatz and took it back to basics
Then I wrote "Rage," that was me screaming out through the pain
And "U Mad," addressing my relationship with Natalie, it was too bad
The violence and the lies slipped suicide into my mental health
I did acid in the studio one day and almost killed myself
As I started to fall apart, certain stars started to align

Just curious--how is it hypocritical for a guy carrying a handgun to want to ban AR-15s?

Very hypocritical. About half the murders in the US are done with firearms, and the overwhelming amount of firearm murders are done with handguns. That, and the fact that handguns are the overwhelming choice for armed robbery and other gun crimes is why the age to buy handguns has long been 21.
The move to ban AR-15s is all politics. For Rapper Vic to piously denounce an AR-15 while carrying the more common murder weapon of handgun is quite hypocritical. Denouncing AR-15s is the "thing to do" that makes him a good guy, ignoring the fact that the AR-15 is just not his weapon of choice.
This reminds me of how the Warren Buffet types claim their "taxes are too low." However, you never see them publicly stroke a check to the treasury to make up what they think should be their fare share, while challenging other rich to do the same. They just continue with their army of accountants and compensation schemes to minimize their taxes.

No, that wouldn't be hypocritical. If that's your belief, then the word you are looking for is misguided. You believe he is pursuing the wrong solution.
HeadSet says
Nope--not at all. One can believe in the right to own a handgun for self defense but feel that an AR-15 serves no useful purpose (other than killing people very quickly). There is nothing contradictory in that belief.
HeadSet says
lol--another great example of something misconstrued as hypocrisy. Buffet follows the rules that are in place, but wants those rules changed. There is absolutely nothing hypocritical about that.

In March of 2017, Victor Kwesi Mensah, known professionally as Vic Mensa, was arrested during a routine traffic stop in California for having a concealed a weapon in his car without a permit, according to TMZ.
At the time of the arrest, Mensa said he had a concealed carry permit for the weapon; however, the permit was from a state that California does not recognize. Mensa pleaded no contest to one charge of a carrying a concealed firearm in his car and in July, was sentenced to two years probation. The second charge of carrying an unregistered loaded firearm was dropped.
On Saturday, shortly after performing at the march, Mensa tweeted his support for banning the AR-15 rifle. He also dedicated his performance at the rally to the "unarmed black men and women killed by police weapons."
