“Blame The Rappers” LYRICS (TOM MACDONALD) I’m rapper but I’m losing my respect for the genre How many songs about Xanax and alcohol are we dropping? How many kids we gonna kill ‘for we admit it’s a problem? Probly stop if was one of our sons or one of our daughters We know our demographic is primarily youth We glorify breaking the law to children in school Kids copy what we say and imitate what we do They’ll go to jail for doing the things you told em was cool We put women in our videos, exploiting their bodies While little girls around the world look at they phone while they watch it They need a realistic role model, not just a Barbie They see strippers and escorts but no lawyers or doctors Hey Hip-Hop, what the hell happened? It was power to the people, and we liked that stuff These days you’re promoting thats it’s fun to be an addict, so I’m askin, how could you write that bruh? HOOK You can blame the rappers That you blow up But your favourite songs are about doing drugs So What happens after These kids grow up And who’s to blame for who they’ve become They made it look so cool To shoot those guns And hate the cops And to get too drunk You can’t blame the rappers When you show up And love the songs That make you dumb (DAX) Making music privilege and choice And if you ever get to be successful you must understand the people that you influence are Swayed by what you say and that melodies and you sing make wings, building dreams, and fill voids We are medication straight through voice, some give life , some destroy And even though this money seems nice it can’t come so we must that as hint that there’s other things in life you should enjoy We move mountains We cross states We play roles in presidential debates So don’t you try and tell me making music is for fun and you don’t care about the things that our music help make Man I know I’m not perfect But I’ll change I’m the outcome of the worlds and my pain And this music is pills and I promise this dose that you take won’t make you say HOOK You can blame the rappers That you blow up But your favourite songs are about doing drugs So What happens after These kids grow up And who’s to blame for who they’ve become They made it look so cool To shoot those guns And hate the cops And to get too drunk You can’t blame the rappers When you show up And love the songs That make you dumb (TOM MACDONALD I’m a rapper but I swear that I’m embarrassed Half of these artists can’t even talk, they just mumble the lyrics And the teenagers listen while they rebel from their parents While the rappers tell ‘em pop a pill, buy Gucci and wear it We say screw the police, break the rules, smoke weed By some shoes you don’t need, rep the hood and yo street All these rappers holdin’ guns and now the kids want some Mess around and kill they homie, you can’t clean that blood We encourage being stupid with our music, and we’re normalizing poor morals standard while do it Little boys see the way that the women look in our videos and assume it’s real-life, project that image on little girls It’s un-realistic, if you’re young and you listen, you are one in a million, you are loved, you are different Hey Hip-Hop, I know life moves on But while I’m here, how could you write that, dawg? HOOK You can blame the rappers That you blow up But your favourite songs are about doing drugs So What happens after These kids grow up And who’s to blame for who they’ve become They made it look so cool To shoot those guns And hate the cops And to get too drunk You can’t blame the rappers When you show up And love the songs That make you dumb BRIDGE Dollar bills and poppin’ pulls like party songs It’s not cool in real life Cheap thrills and goin’ till the morning comes See what that feels like HOOK You can blame the rappers That you blow up But your favourite songs are about doing drugs So What happens after These kids grow up And who’s to blame for who they’ve become They made it look so cool To shoot those guns And hate the cops And to get too drunk You can’t blame the rappers When you show up And love the songs That make you dumb

"If you're young and you listen, you are one in a million you are loved, you are different different...". More kids need to hear this kind of stuff.

Tom aint a rapper he's a activist a philosopher a poet a visionary a truth speaker

This is how I came across DAX, these 2 guys are legit talented and are prime examples that hard work and motivation pays off. No free rides here.

Thank you for standing up for our children ❤️🙌

“You are one in a million, you are loved, you are different.” Brings tears to my eyes. Tom, thanks for caring about our kids.

This here is a beautiful soul. God bless you Tom for climbing out of the hole and getting this message out; may your lyrics live forever.

Am now 60 years old, never cared for rap or hip hop. But now that i researched Tom Macdonald and watched about 80 % of his videos I can honestly say am HOOKED for life !!! Seems when some one decides to sing TRUTH - YOU GET HOOKED !!! to all involved with Tom Macdonald and the making of these videos I say THANK YOU so very much !!! God bless you all !!!

"If you're young and you listen you are one in a million you are loved you are different" hits different

Finally, someone in the game who understands that the media influences the young ones. Thanks y'all, this made my day.

When he says to the young "you are loved " my heart melts

As someone who got addicted at 14 and now at 30 I have almost 2 years, thank you for changing the culture. 🙏

My husband found these songs and loves them. Thanks for what you are saying. I felt alone at home yelling and no one was listening. Keep up the good work.

"We move mountains, we cross states, we play roles in presidential debates. So don't you try and tell me making music is for fun and you don't care about the things that our music helped make." Truth

I never leave comments but Tom and Dax, this song is legendary.

My 8 year old daughter loves this song, she is so thankful for this song and sends her appreciation to Tom MacDonald!

Wow this collaboration was beautiful.

two rappers that have the most important messages in the songs are these two

Crazy after everyone of Tom's songs you pretty much just sit back and say wow.

Thank you for helping restore my faith in music, guys are freaking awesome

It doesn’t get any better than this; sublime music, Tom & Dax 💝💖💕❤️❣️💙💝💚💝🧡💙💖💖❤️❤️💕💘💓💓💕❤️💖💖🧡💝💚💝🧡💙❤️💓💕❤️❤️💓💓💓💕💙💙🧡🧡💝💚💗💜💜💗💝🧡💙💙💖❤️💕💓❤️💖💖💙💝💗💗💚💝🧡💙💖💖❤️💕❤️💖💙❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Every song I listen to makes me love him even more. He's exactly what we need on so many levels. This song literally brought tears to me eyes and I don't even care if that's dumb. Im introducing him to my 12 year old daughter because he is what she and her friends need to be listening to.

"Little boys see the way that women look in our videos And assume it's real life, project that image on little girls It's unrealistic, if you're young and you listen You are one in a million, you are loved, you are different" I have 4 daughters so this makes me kind of tear up a little bit

Chills at "You are one in a million, you are loved, you are different"

I actually almost cried while watching this...these dudes are speaking the truth! Kids need good role models.

God this guy is on a new level, one of the realest lyricists that has ever lived. Keep up the good work Tom!

For someone to write such lyrics on his tracks, he is the Smartest artist out there. Glad to see he is awake.

Fire Tom you and Dax should do more videos together. Thanks for bringing me up with y'all's music.Nothing but love and inspiration 🙂

It doesn’t get more real thank this!!! I will pray that God protect you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Songs deeper than Hillary's emails

I can't even explain the amount of respect I have and feel for you writing this song , only person that I've ever heard, that has spoken nothing but truth.

Every kid who loves rap or wants to rap-EVERY kid needs to hear this song and follow the message they are trying to deliver.

I know you are tired and u may want to rest but the calling is here . And you are the one at this critical time . Rest will come God will see to that . I am a non rap person at the age of 67 and I look forward to next song . Thank you for what you do . Prescott Az

Wow, he's waking people out of their programming.

This made me cry. So true, How many decades of lost children, chaos, bad outcomes. So sad. Music is a powerful tool, can be used to build lives not destroy! Tom McDonald you are a G-D send. Never stop what you are doing.

29 years sober today. Yay ❤

Born into the rap bubble surrounding my home in Compton - At some point a mentor said, you need to choose between the life that music leads you to and a life free from it but filled with so many possibilities of a brighter future. Tom is the first new rapper I've become an admirer of in a very long time.

"I'm a rapper but I'm losing respect for the genre..." -Tom MacDonald Why the real rappers are the underrated rappers I'll never know... Thanks Tom and Dax for this fire track

Omg. This brought tears to my eyes. As a high school teacher who spends hours helping kids that are deep in gangs and guns and drugs; kids who idolize those who are not true leaders of anything positive. This hit a nerve. Thank you for your realistic music! You have a true fan right here!

Tom.. please PLEASE MAKE MORE SONGS LIKE THIS! I love the rapping but I am in love with your singing!! Please make more! You're so talented!! 💖💖💓💓💓💓

This will always be one of my favorite songs ever. The lyrics, the message and 2 awesome talented MEN. Also Toms Better half that always makes some of the best videos. 😉

FINALLY! An artist using his platform to promote positivity. God bless you Tom MacDonald.

Been following you a while and everytime, “these are the kind of artists we need.” talking about what’s relevant man.

getting the chills everytime I appreciate this song.

I absolutely love the collaberation between you two men. Your words are powerful, your message clear. Keep spreading the truth and I pray more will open their minds as well as their ears and listen to what you have to say.

I actually have so much respect for Tom MacDonald and Dax for this.

“I know I’m not perfect, but I’ll change” that hit hard

I SAY IT OVER AND OVER “ YOU ARE A GENIUS!! TOM !!! 🔥🔥🙏🏻❤️❤️ TOTAL RESPECT ✊🏼

I think it is so ASWOME you are making music with Dax. Y'all do so well together in my opinion

Ok, I wasn't expecting this...CRAZY

Strong lyrics... influencers can save lives and make a positive change in a negative world. Impressed

Tom, you are amazing. I have so many playlists, but you are the only artist that has your own. Nobody else deserves that much credit. You are loved.

Tom's videos are highly underrated. The production is amazing keep up the good work nova

THIS SONG IS SOO TRUE. MAN YOU ARE BLESSED. YOUR TALENT BRINGS ME TO TEARS.

When Tom said "I'm excited, this is different, I've never done one like this before" He's right! ✊

Yep. Tom is the best to happen to music in decades.

I am not a big DAX fan, but he killed it here. Honestly he was the best part of this song.

The collab that we didn't ask for but the one we needed.

"...but while I'm here..." We all need to find that mentaility somehow. We all feel powerless because our lives are short and sometimes feel insignificant. "...while I'm here" could change the world.

I can't listen to rap with poisonous lyrics, but YOU gave rap a new life! I can't stop listening to your songs! Thank you!

Dax you're a beast. Thank you for introducing me to Tom. You're heros, both of you. You both have my 100% support thank you guys seriously I owe you both my life

Dax still be 8 meters away from his camera man no corona for him 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Tom and dax, 2 of the industries best and yet most underrated artists

Someone please tell me how is it that this song has more heart, care, love than that Barbie movie could have ever dreamt. Thank you

WOW!!! This was amazing! I'm catching up... time to binge watch while drinking my coffee in my Hang Over Gang mug!! 🔥🔥💯🤘🏻

Chills. This song! Keep sending healthy messages Tom/DAX. This is what the kids/teens need to hear.

"Dear Slim" got me into a 2 hour rabit hole with your videos. These are all amazing and this one is my new favorite. Thank you for telling the tuth and saying it like it is! More people need to be like you Tom! Keep going!!!

The values you teach in your home/allow into your homes largely contributes to your child's development and success but if you actually took the time to listen the message of Tom and Dax's music as well you'll be surprised by the positivity. Don't always judge a book by its cover.

I think these 2 are some of the most beautiful souls,, serios goose bumps..thank you..God Bless!'❤

Spoiler alert... Toms shirtless and I’m not. Also I didn’t mention janitor verbally but if you know sign language like I do you’ll see that at 1:29 signed it with my hands. You’re welcome! NOW LETS SHARE 🌹🔥 go mention on all ur SOCIALS and send to someone you know!

I'm a spiritual lyrical miracle individual

I hadn't heard this one previously but I've been speaking out on this for a couple years now. This is so powerful! You and Dax sound amazing together. Food for my soul!!!!

These 2.. is what we need in music. Damn it boy.

I am quickly becoming a fan. Tom has integrity and a beautiful soul that shines through his truthful lyrics. I hope his message keeps reaching and touching the hearts of many...God bless..

You never know where a miracle will come from, but I think Tom is a miracle that God sent us because everything he is rapping about at this time in our lives are things we all need to hear. Tom, you really are one in a million. Keep up the Good Work!!!.

Nobody can stand next to Tom. He's on his own mountain.

Hey man, just watched after your YT post asking our favorites between this and propaganda. I must say, i love your singing! You should mix this more often cause its a wonderful combination! Baller song!

No matter how many times I listen to this, it gives me chills. Tom and Dax you guys made a painfully true beautiful song 🙌

“I’m not perfect, but I’ll change” ~ I felt that🔥

Restored faith in hip hop 🙌

if your young and you listen you are one in a million you are loved you are different that just touches my heart more kids need to hear this this will impact a change great job on this TOM and Dax

I am SO PROUD of y'all for this song! Great job! It moved my heart.

My soul has been needing an artist like this.

Bring it back to the old school positive message that hip-hop used to be when it started. Keep it going

These 2 have such epic collabs and I hope to continue seeing more!

Producer: so do u need women,cars or something else? Tom macdonald: Just the grave

I did not expect those two to make a song together 😂😂😂 just never thought of it

I agree ❤ GOD BLESS & PRAYERS 🙏 Aussie fan 🇦🇺 🙏 THANK YOU for being an inspiration for our kids ❤

You're not a rapper or hip hop. You're a different genre entirely. A new genre. The best genre.

I’m a 63 yr old white mom of 3,far from your typical rap listener LOL! But this stands out as different to me. These are lyrics I can actually understand with such an important message. My son is going to be shocked when I recommend him a hip hop rap song for the first time LOL😂

Plot twist: Dax wears a shirt and Tom goes shirtless!

My favorite song of the 21st century.

This guy is amazing. God protect this man.

i should be hearing this on top 10 countdowns

I would love for someone to play this on “accident”at the music awards LOL 😂 😂 😂 😂....... JEHOVAH NISSI

Why am I just hearing this song 😭 this is is everything 🥺🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nailed it. Thank so much Tom Dax and Nova this is bitterly so true

I get hated on for listening to Tom because of this song and others like it. My response is to play it louder.

Song name :-Blame the rappers intellectual me:-lyrics in it must be in rappers favour😌 These 2 rappers :-suprise kiddo❤️

Tom has rendered everyone else obsolete.
