“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

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!

[IXtn]

"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.

[candaceollis]

“You are one in a million, you are loved, you are different.”

Brings tears to my eyes. Tom, thanks for caring about our kids.

[thesleeper]

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.

[kaylag]

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.

[amandagale]

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

[Thatsdax]

LOVE YALL! Here’s the lyrics if you want to sing along! Lets share this everywhere:

[familiaerythin]

Thank you for standing up for our children ❤️🙌

[rolandkhan]

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.

"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

[Hurleychic]

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.

[mickeydacosta]

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 !!!

[marcandrestamand]

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

[ethanshelton]

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

[Knight]

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!

[luckytenx]

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

[Hope]

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

[lynnmontgomery]

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