Ur ex wife is gone and she hasn't seen or called the kids in 9 years. 98% of u have no idea what he's even saying. Pouring water in the back of ur toilet jus to flush it...if ur here because of the Rosanne Bae show ur hear for the wrong reasons.

      Yah, I am only 30 minutes in on that interview and had to find this song. Found Tom via Ben Shapiro collaboration. I thought "Facts" was good. This song is ... don't have have the right words. Have to chew on it for a bit. By the way, about to turn 56 and always said I would never listen to rap even if they sang the most wholesome lyrics possible. Tom has forever changed that opinion.

      I would be pretty hypocritical if I didn’t have an open mind. My oldest daughter’s First husband was of African-American descent. Their daughter is an absolutely beautiful gay woman. They all have tattoos. My youngest daughter was a young single mother. She married an east Indian man and their children are beautiful brown boys. If you don’t have an open mind you miss a lot of beautiful people and wonderful experiences.
      I am also a conservative who voted for Trump. I believe in free speech for everyone. I am very afraid for this country. I believe Tom McDonald is speaking for masses that do not have a voice.

H.O.G fam dont wanna see or raise kids in the hood and if we are this message should be str8 forward. Its hard for someone with a spouse to accomplish what they have. Canada to the hood to where he sailed away. Compton Crenshaw survived in plad and rip jeans to a life of riches he can careless about. The message is out and still comin 💰 just a plus to him.

      By design. Once you get deeper in the TM rabbit hole you realize that everything in culture and society is designed to keep all of of us down and controlled. What we watch, what we drive, how we think, how we feel. They control the information. Whoever controls the information has all the power, that's why they censor. When we get past all the partisanship and boxes they put us in, break down the divides and all fight together against those that control the system will we dig ourselves out of this hole the system has put us in. Tom is helping break those walls down and bring people from all boxes together realizing we are not each others enemy but we have a common enemy that encourages us to fight each other to take focus off themselves. I hope I explained that right. Bottom line Tom is one in a million and his legacy will be that he helped shape culture and minds transform in a positive way through his own struggles and lessons and truths. God is awesome the way he uses people to shape the world and do his work.

      I truly believe its been that way for decades. I think all these big celebrities are on drugs MOST of the time when they know they got interviews and award shows to attend and speak at. They all on some shit when they do these things. It gives them a false sense of confidence that the rest of us normal people don’t have. Then once we get high for the first time we feel that shit and start chasing it. But we don’t have that cushy life to support it like they do. They do whatever they want. Preach their fake messages to us. All the while they popping pills and keeping it quiet. I really believe this is MOST celebrities.

    "I can't hear another fucking song about abusing medication that I had to take just to stay alive."
    I saw this lyric as a quote, years ago, and started bawling. Had no idea who Tom was at the time, only that lyric. I'm thirty years old, was diagnosed with epilepsy at thirteen, and have been on so many different addictive medications that my friends, when I was younger, would buy from others to get high on. It seemed so backwards.
    Thank you, Tom, for your continued artistry. 💛 You've helped me a lot, even with that one lyric years ago.

    I’m old school. I grew up during the “ juice” days and did a lot of shit I’m not proud of. The music and beats I blazed was hardcore gangster and had lessons to learn in each bar. No matter the artist, it seemed that there was a choice given in each track as to where you could go no matter the consequences. I have a 19, 18 and 15 year old that literally worship and live their lives on the bullshit “mumble” bullshit that’s put out today. My 19 year old is lost in space, 18 year old is now in 1 of 5 different behavioral facilities and my 15 year old daughter just came home from a 6 month stretch in a facility in Memphis Tennessee. All she wanted to do was go right back to listening to the same bullshit. I turned her on to you and let her listen to the first song and she started crying. Not like weeping but tears rolling down her face. My son , who is still in a facility is fixing to learn about you to. My daughter begged me before I could ever bring it up. I wanna thank you for being who you are and helping me in allowing my kids to discover themselves while diving into the music they love. I’m 38 years old and haven’t purchased a cd in years but I promise you, once I gain access to one of yours, it’s mine. I haven’t gotten goose bumps from listening to rap since I was younger. You’ve changed that. Keep your shit strong and keep it flowing.

      i also had anxiety/depression and panic attacks but i'm a lot better now without meds or even seeing a doctor. my case was so bad that i couldn't sleep at night from the panic attacks. i went to bed at 2-3am and i manage to fall asleep at 7-9am from the tiredness of being asleep for so long. what i did was listen to music and do things that make me feel happy and throw away all the thoughts that caused me anxiety/depression and a breathing technique that i saw on youtube that helps with panic attacks. watching funny videos also helps, and not with just anxiety/depression. it helps for more than these 2. the breathing techniques helps you to remove the thoughts that cause you anxiety/depression cause you have to focus your mind on counting while taking a breath and holding your breath and exhaling. this is the breathing technique: take a deep breath for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, exhale for 8 seconds(you can even watch this technique on youtube if you want). repeat 3-5 times. at the 3rd repeat most of my panic attack was gone and listening to music helped me with anxiety/depression for when my panic attacks were gone to lessen the number of panic attacks, and eventually my anxiety/depression is almost gone. only a bit is left but it's manageable. after 1-2 repeats of the breathing technique the anxiety is gone. if only more people knew these things they wouldn't resort to meds or even doctors, and it's really simple.

    It's so fascinating to see Tom's evolution of perspective. This song felt like the beginning of him waking up to media corruption, and how it influences society. Now, 3 years later, how much he sees and how effortlessly he weaves it into his music is incredible. It's just another wonderful example of what happens when someone is authentic to who they are in this very moment, with full refusal of being put into a box. It's allowing for continuous evolution, and it is spectacular to see.

      We're tired of the fake-ass mumble rappers who've been making this kind of music their bitch while brainwashing the kids. I'm gonna be trying to create my own rap music too for the first time soon and I hope I can keep going, ignore the hate so I can sharpen up my "tongue" to try and bring real shit one day like this too. I love the art. I love wordplay. I hope I can get good as Macdonald or better EVENTUALLY.

    Judged by his appearance at first, and definitely thought he was trying to be a Mumble rapper. I couldn't be more wrong 💯💯

      best rapper to come out in last 10 years by far, if not 20 years
      edit - best musician, rapper, as he raps, but musician due to the lyrics and his message. glad he is independent, as they would of dropped him after 1 song. not the fact he deserve the biggest record deal on the planet.

      Boy was I wrong. Took a class on "don't judge a book by its cover" when it came to Tom Macdonald lol

      Well he probably got those when he was imitating crap rap but thank God he's evolved!

  • @tullochmacdonald4245

    Tom MacDonald from another MacDonald: keep doing what you're doing. You're brave enough to to buck the system and teach your fans (HOGs) the importance of truth. God bless.

    I can’t believe you exist! I can’t believe you rap about this. This makes my heart so happy. I guess I stop listening to rap because of the things that was being rap about. Now I can enjoy rap again what??? ❤️

      I always thought is was “Throw your money in my face and try to tell that it’s hard”

  • @angelika_munkastrap4634

    Wow can't believe he had this song written, recorded and video shot all in less than an hour. Then the video posted the next day. He's amazing. He didn't just sit and think about it, he got it done.
    Just goes to show, don't put off to tomorrow what you can get done today. And don't overthink sometimes, just do it. This first viral song for him is proof of having having faith in yourself and being able to achieve great things with it.
