This was my life for about 8 years..I made those exact phone calls and was deeply involved in drugs and everything else. Got clean but lost my 1st baby girl because i had no stable home for her. It almost killed me..Jesus pulled me out and that's the only reason I'm alive. But I avoided my parents because I never had "good news".. My dad passed a week after my 2nd daughter was born in 2021..intense nostalgia! Now i have a great job, own a home and raising my 2nd baby with her dad. Praying for Tom and Nova! Praying for all those out there who still have "bad news"...

"I ain't lying, just bad truths" so many meanings, such poets

I’m a 65 year old man that has never really cared for rap but after listening to your lyrics I’m now a convert. Don’t let the system beat you down.

Thank you for sharing that side of y'all. You really are spot on all the time, but this one hit real close to home for me. So thankful my mama is still her for me. She's 76, I'm 56 and I still need her, she's been vital in my recovery from traumatic life incidents and 2 near deaths. NEVER forget, you only get one real mom in your life and time is precious...not to be wasted! God bless you and yours Tom 🙏♥️🕊🇺🇲💪

Lost it at Nova's phone call- I made a similar call when I lived in LA. Wow...stirs the spirit of where I once was to where I am today. By the grace of God. . .

I like how she called her dad being daddy's girl and mommas boy.. I'm liking the project a lot

Wow what a song. I'm 51 and I have to say I have not liked a rapper in a while. As a mon with a 16 year old dealing with pressure of fitting in and getting caught up and thinking about all the other parents our there and kids/young adults I wont lie it made me cry. Got to me big time. Our kids are growing up in a messed up time and us parents have to try our hardest to keep them safe. Thank you for keeping it real in this song. Much love to all of you and to anyone out there that is experiencing this 🙏 my son was into minor things weed and me, his dad did everything we could to get him away from it because it was getting bad and then something new came along. If you have to search there rooms, pockets, school bags, anything do it. If you have to go to adolescent counseling and weekly drug testing...do it. If you have to get out of the surroundings do it. Keep the kids #1 don't ever give up and for the kids out there reading this please reach out to a parent, friend, school, neighbor anyone about anything your doing and going through/feelings please. Reach out!

who's watching this 2024?

This song makes me think of my aunt. She never felt like she fit in in this world. She always felt alone even when we all tried to help and make her feel like part of the family. I dont think she was ever content on this earth. She died from a drug overdose 3 days ago. Rip Aunt mambi. we love and miss u so much and wherever you are now, i hope ur finally happy.

I lost my son November of 2019 when I first heard this song it was like he was singing it from Heaven to me

My baby boy, 21, committed suicide on Jan. 2nd of this year. It was two years to the day I lost my oldest son to suicide as well. I had sent this song to my baby boy just days before. I don't know if he ever listened to it or not. But this song has really touched my life and in my heart I feel he can hear it. I pray for every soul affected by mental health and addiction. And for their families. As well as the survivors of someone lost by suicide. We have to stop losing our people. Thank you for this song. It will forever represent my son's struggle.

my Bro, thanks JESUS! much love and respect!

This one is literally about perspective of an industry rapper stuck in a lane of success monetarily but feeling out there alone caught up in "fame" but not in the way he had originally wished to come about it. Autotune is from the industry rapper's point of view, not the artists who are conveying this important message to you. Listen to the track a few times and remember who these three are, and you will clearly see the artistic vision for this one right here. They are not selling out at all but rather, telling the story through the eyes of an industry rapper stuck in a game they never wanted to play this way. 69, baby goth, and many others come to mind.

Why does every one of Tom’s songs explain my life to a T, its small world but our issues are larger than life.

Ill keep y'all in my prayers! A HOG brother from Texas

I cry ugly every time I hear this song. RIP momma ❤ Tom, Nova & MadChild ...this song could not have been any better. Beautiful song. Thank you for sharing your talent. ❤

I just sent this to my mom that I haven't seen or spoken to in years just so she can have some glimpse in to my life. This song says it all!!!

Dude!! I am crying my eyes out right now. My son is an addict and in prison right now and this song just brought out so many emotions. I love him so much and wish things were different..

Love and peace, blessings everyone ❤

Sometimes I struggle to explain what's inside my head or what's going on in life without people jumping to conclusions and not understanding...this song gave me away to explain myself in away people are finally understanding. Thank you!!❤

Tom, SALUTE!! Forget killing it, you're mass assassinating the game!!! What more perfect time than now!!!!! Get it son.. #hangovergang

Always love a song about those of us that always wanted to buy Mom a house on the hill. Something way better than what we grew up in. Keep the Faith brothers.

I thank you all.

"blow out all the candles in my brain right now" Yep. Sums up chronic illnesses in 20s

i recently discovered Tom Mcdonald. i havnt looked back since. now we get more Nova on the track? this is fantastic

"okay everyone just vibe out to the beat" MadChild: "nah I'ma just stand here" 😅

Tom, Nova, & Mad Child! The perfect jam

I'm lost .. but that song finds me everytime.. and my tears go away.. the only badass I ever rolled with was my dad ..... Things change. . time is changing from one second to another second. My family I know y'all can see me. As I can see y'all . We need to stick together as soon as we can .. miss you John ,Andy , never met mark before but can't wait to see another one of my pops blood. Much lovez ,mucho amor, 🫠where fire may fail.....me me me, out... You you you, on my mind always.... I'm lame. I keep learning everyday at my location. Thank you and God bless.. my dad's kid out ....

Bro... shit hits hard. My momma passed a while back... this just hits different for me. You are waking up the world! Keep doing your shit!

It touches my soul when he sings to his grandma. No matter what, I always knew that my grandmother was praying for me & loving me. she was the most humble person I knew in my life; living in the basement of another person's home but still going to the "old-folks" home to cook for them, even when she was old enough to be there herself, and giving her portion to the needy as God instructed. She accepted who she was, what she was capable of, and demanded nothing from others - she always looked for ways to provide for others. She was also my 3rd mother before I was 3. I know she would cringe at Tom's appearance ;), but approve of his message & hug him & love him.

Me and my husband (16 years married) absolutely love this song. play on repeat and dance. your words speak so true! keep them coming***** LOVE TO HERE YOU AND NOVA ARE GETTING MARRIED BUT WE ALL KNOW WHEN YOU LOVE YOU LOVE..... COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER IS WHAT MATTERS 💕💕ETERNITY

This song got me threw some REALLY hard times. I was on the run from the cops. Selling *rugs. Hanging with sum greasy people chopping cars. Just to make a few. This song kept me elevated when I couldn't stay elevated. Frfr

Seems a lot of older people are chiming in. Several saying they're old school, or not rap fans...but.... I'm one of them. I still know the words to some of the sugar hill gang. Went to school with Michael Chambers in Wilmington Cali. I'm a fan of this guy's work. Of course he's hard to look at but that's just me.😆 It's honest. It's brutally clean truth. It's old school to speak truth in today's climate. He should be proud he has touched base with people who respect the meeting of the words. He is talking to your brain. Unlike a lot of so called music if today that's appealing to someone's idea of what is popular. IE; drugs, sex and criminal activity. Just a personal opinion. Means nothing.✌️

I've gotten a couple of these calls from my musician son... This song made me weep.. My son's sober now and doing great, I'm one of the lucky mom's who can say that... I'm sure your mom's feel the same way... Thanks for this song, makes me grateful as hell!!

I miss my mom so much. Momma I’ll be okay 🙏❤️

Love you all...Nova needs props for these videos ...she is amazing!!!!!! Love you all

I just have to say, Nova and Tom are the closest thing you will ever see to a true power couple. Not only are they both talented and driven, they work together, support each other and have each other's backs.

What scares me is the fact that within a minute it was obvious what this was about.... Thank you, because I know there are so many others like myself lying to ourselves every fuckin day just trying to make up a reason to continue onward and not give up. Truth reaches a lot of places the darkness can't, and that helps everyone a lot. HOG forever

Congratulations Tom, Nova and Madchild on 40 Million views 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉#HOGForever💪🔥🤘💕♥️😁

My wife and her sister's grew up with nothing but pain and bad news. A few day's before Christmas the youngest sister went missing. We found her 8 day's later in her pick up dead of a fentanyl overdose. People please Try to do anything you can so we can put an end to the bad news. Rest in paradise sisterpoo.

I was in a homeless Shelter a month ago with my son and this son actually helped us calm down because of the way it made us feel and here we are back at home happy and healthy, thanks Tom, Nova And madchild.

This one is a instant hit for sure. I'm a orphan and this hit hard.

I lost my son November 4 4 years ago but Tom Nova and their friends help me through the years thank you 🙏 guys

Such a deep song....i wanna cry(head full of rain) im 46 but this a terribly great phone call to my mom when im 18-27....❤❤❤😊

This song really touched my heart it sounds just like my son cause he's always trying to get ahead but something always happens to what he's doing but he never gives up

Can’t get this song out of my head.

Thank you, I have a nephew that needed to hear this. He did, thank you for being his saving grace. Love y'all 💕

As a former addict, this song hit in a very uncomfortable place. My mom is gone now, and I was such a piece of shit disaster when she was still here. I'm about 4 years sober now.

This needs a rerelease now with all the new hype.

Lost my mom in 2018 love you mom always R.I.P.

still one of the best tom macdonald songs to date

Always have a giggle when Tom and Nova are vibing away to the song and Madchild is standing like the dude that doesn't dance when out at a party hahaha

i think what sets Tom apart from most other rappers is that his songs are about universal experiences that all people can relate to, and not about some eccentric flamboyant lifestyle, like most rap music has been reduced to. everyone can relate to what his songs are about and this one is a good example. we all at some point have this experience that we sometimes may be hurting our parents thru our life choices.

This song made me finally accept that my addiction was a problem and i even sent it to my mom as a form of cry for help. Everything worked out in the end, thanks Tom, Madchild and Nova.

Just heard it for the first time the other day cannot stop listening to it you know my favorite songs on my entire playlist of over a thousand songs it's the only song I'll repeat repeat story of My Life Tom Nova madchild y'all are some of the realest artists out there and y'all give me proof and show me that even a recovering addict can make something of their lives I've been sober 3 years and it was the greatest decision of my life you guys' music inspires me everyday to keep fighting for my sobriety don't change don't stop being real don't take no shift nobody y'all keep doing what you doing you guys are on point and it rocks Yee Yee

Dear tom thank you I have been divorced recently and I went down a bad path with alcohol and attended AA. I found your song sober and it really helped to have something to vibe to when I felt that way I'm an army guy who has beer here then but you helped me be better and I'm glad to see bad news in my inbox and spread it to few hundred friends. Keep it up and say hey to child

Who is a fan of Tom since day 1?

I'm a long hair hippy. But, I can turna wrench, set a post, and understand alot of physics. Articulate most knowledge I have obtained. I think that makes me a Holler boy lol over 15 motor swaps in 2 years. Love this shizzz

Can't tell yall how many times I've made that call after going silent for months. My daughter is 11 now and it's been almost 12 years since I've stuck a needle in my arm. For all yall struggling its ok, when you decide to get better it's gonna take time to get back to your old self but it's worth it! One love

“I just need a cake right now Blow out all the candles in my brain right now “ that is lit

Holly crap. This is the best song ive ever heard. Just wow. On loop forever bro

The 3 of y'all sounded Awesome singing together. I've only known about you all for about a week now. I love most types of music. I do favor Hip Hop and Rap. No offense to you Tom. I saw a few of your videos and i wasn't sure if you like being called a Rapper or not but, at least your songs have Lyrical content and are about important issues we are having in America. Don't let the Haters get to you Bro. God has put you on a Mission to deliver these messages to the people who have been dumbed down by an Indoctrination System from the Elites. God, gave you these talents for a reason. I'm a Dax fan as well. You think well outside of the box. Keep up the good work! Peace, & Love! 💯

That was when your artistic genius was being born.

This song nailed it. Every. Damn. Emotion. Love! Madchild, Nova and Tom, it's like y'all spied my life with this. Healing tears for real!

Another great. Brought tears. As an aside, how adorable is Nova? I love her voice and style. Please, more of her in the future! Girl, I know your daddy is/would be proud of the rap dude you fell in love with! God bless you all!

One of my favorite spoken from the heart you're the best Tom MacDonald 💯

Absolutely love this gem. So did my dad. This reminds me of him so much. Oh how I cherished our times together. Love ya man see you again. I know you'd be proud of me what's been going on with my life

When I listen to this song it makes me cry. I’ve been through ups and downs but I’m lucky to have parents and friends that care about me and helped me through. Sounds like you had the same support. Pray for others that feel alone right now. Help them realize there will always be someone that cares and will help. Sending love to whomever needs it right now.

This song helped me when my momma was in jail,and when my dad quit talking to me..im 25 and i been on my own since i was 16 and when i heard tom,mad child,and nova sing this song it helped me put my head up high n get through the ruff times...i became stronger when i pulled my heart of my sleeve..n realized who stayed..

Tom, Nova the gift that keeps giving. Thank you

I cant watch this video enough...the words...the emotion. 100 000 grand for slim shady I am you. Mad Child got so sad when that one scorpion brother was killed in Surrey

Tom Macdonald is dope he's really underrated

This is the last last song I listened to with my brother before he passed. I will forever listen to this song and hear my brother say how do you no the words to this song. R.i.p. little brother I love you can't wait to see again

Prayers for all the addicts out there , losing too many too fast 😥😔

God bless you brother I am proud to have you as a fellow American keep up the good work stay strong keep the faith light up the darkness and protect the Innocence at all cost and God bless us all across the globe except for the wicked

Makes me smile to see a whit man speaks the truth about how he feels about any and everything!!! Not all of us hate ppl due to their skin color!! And he keeps it up to date with the styles of today but still has his own style on how he does this!! I’d love to shake this mans hand and tell him how proud he makes me and all others!! Your the realest out hands down!! Nobody fucking with you as far as real bars go the realest in my eyes!! We salute you T om and mad child and nova!! All hog family!!

I still say Nova needs some more time on this side of the camera. That girl has a lotta talent on the mic. Imagine the shit that is thought up at their house! Both Nova and Tom are geniuses.

I'm living in my truck at the moment

I think mad child saying I don’t even have a home right now while wearing Versace is funny

This one has that chill, hanging out and goofing off with friends vibe. I miss those simpler times.

I turned 30 today and for 30 years all I ever wanted to hear was my momma tell me it's gonna be okay. I'm still waiting !!

2024 still enjoying this jam what up Tom loving your new music with Adam and Dax

Hands down best rapper to come out of Canada words alone can't explain how amazing his music is and how it's helped me through tough times I can't go a day without listening to him

Tom Nova Madchild, after last year, Bad News Tour 2020 come on, who else is feelin it?! HOG 4EVA!!!

Nova's verse is a whole vibe. Whole song is for real

My cuzzin just died this past Sunday at only 25 yrs old.and she was healthy.its so messed up.and so i keep playing this song on repeat daily.and just cry.

I go hard, trying to get back home. Before i forget everything😞

62 year old momma of four boys. Loving your art and you beautiful wife's too. Keep it close to your hearts! We all fight those demons. Give em a blood bath! Too bad for them! Keep it real. Y'all got art.

I literally listen to this song like 50 times a day! The voices of Tom, madchild and Nova are so soothing!!!

U waa the first underground turn and still do the same tune every day

I am a father. I get this so well 😪❤️❤️

This has become my new favorite T.McD song, as a mom hits my💓

Man I had doubts at first but this was too badass... Especially Tom wife who creates these music videos.. True genius

THIS is my favorite now! ❤❤❤

Bro I'm f'n old AF. This song almost make me cry!!! Very powerful, it really touched home & heart

i am 30,000,000,000 years old and the music has changed over the years but this sounds really good.

woulda been so dope if Nova's voice came in without ANY effects.... y'know no auto-tune on the last verse. juxtaposition - contrast - draaammaaaaaa.

Feel it strong. Somtimes I wonder how I'll get through. Stay strong fam.

I have been listening to this song for a while now and I listened to it more than I used to I just lost my mother on the 18 of last month. I miss you so much Mom and I love you.

Madchild is so damn underrated.♥️
