Tom MacDonald & Madchild ft. Nova Rockafeller - "Sober" (Official Video)

"Sober"

[Tom MacDonald:]
What up y'all? My name's Tom
Little while back was an alcoholic
Had a mental breakdown like a year ago
Came close to puttin' me in a coffin
Damn, after the hooker I loved
After I did all the drugs
After I finally got fired for showin' up late to the job I left tired and drunk
After the Oxys I put up my nose with my boss on the oil rigs when I was young
After my ex cut her wrists and the cops thought I stab her and beat me then put me in cuffs
After I totaled my car tryna run from the cops with a kilo of coke in the trunk
After I drank 'til I rotted my teeth out my head, got infections in all of my gums
After I couldn't get hard 'cause the vodka and porno sedated me 'til I was numb
After I couldn't escape from the basement I rented and went to go live with my mom
After I cheated on people I needed and lied tryna hide from the guy that I was
Then I got sober, the madness was over, now I am proud of the man I've become, uh

[Tom MacDonald & Nova Rockafeller:]
I'm finally someone that I know again
I started climbin' out the hole I'm in
Fightin' demons that I know I'll win
It's time for me to mend these broken wings

Life has been hard I know it gets better
This is a war that I'll fight forever
Whoa-ayy-oh-ayy-oh
Whoa-ayy-oh-ayy-oh
I have my scars I'll always remember
When I lost it all and never surrender
Whoa-ayy-oh-ayy-oh
Whoa-ayy-oh-ayy-oh

[MadChild:]
What up y'all? My name's MadChild
I've been off the Xanies for a while now
I was wakin' up feelin' suicidal
But I think I'm finally startin' to smile now
Man, I lived a hell of a life
I've been to hell and back twice
Lost 10 million dollars, three different addictions
Don't tell me 'bout payin' the price
From pent houses with top models
Hangin' with strippers with pop bottles
To anxious and hidin' alone in my room from the world, I was pissin' in pop bottles
From chart top and bein' a role model, to flop records and lost follows
When I cop product got a months worth
When I left the spot cops followed
If you saw a photo it was only face 'cause I was 85 pounds over weight
Mental breakdown tryna catch a plane
Wasn't MadChild I was only Shane
My puppy Lola was my only gang
Had to put my baby in a fuckin' grave
I walked away from every brick I laid
So I could build a new wall to keep me safe

Whoa-ayy-oh-ayy-oh
Whoa-ayy-oh-ayy-oh

[Tom MacDonald:]
When you fall down and the world's closin' in
You can get up again, up again

Whoa-ayy-oh-ayy-oh
Whoa-ayy-oh-ayy-oh
