Sober (feat. MadChild & Nova Rockafeller)

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 till 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 till 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

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

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

Too 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

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

When you fall down and the world's closin' in

You can get up again, up again

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
