    Hello, I'm Shawn... I'm an alcoholic. I found this vid after hearing Fake Woke on the Glenn Beck show. Became an instant fan even being over 50 and hating rap music. Spent the last three days watching your vid's and reactions in my off time. One girl posted in the comments about this song and I checked it out...... Damn, you hit the nail on the head about addiction.
    Thank you Tom for making this. I now have a Fight Song I can get behind and I hope others will also.

      I heard Tom on Glenn also. heard fake woke a couple days before that. I'm 55 and it's great to find someone making incredibly intelligent, well thought out music that paints such clear pictures in the mind. But also the depth to give someone something to think about over time.

      The sickness of the body and the taint on the soul will only be divided when the wage of sin on the body is paid and then comes judgement of the soul where it will either be passed under judgement through forgiving grace and divided further to make a purely clean soul or judged righteously and thrown away to burn.

      Keep the light on. Darkness can never keep out the light. Jesus will walk with her and carry her through all her troubles.

The battle will always be there but God is the only one that can simply say enough and release you of all the burdens. I'm no drunk but I pray to God almighty that if I could take any or all of your wife's pain and demons and help your battle im happy to do so. Got demons of my own and right now I'm kicking some ass myself. Stay in the fight. God bless.

The right NEEDS people like this to change the culture, some people like to think "politics isn't everything" but if you simply look around you'll see that it actually is. The right doesn't mean republican, it's the NEW right, & we are a movement of the PEOPLE, not a top-down propaganda/gaslighting agenda of hatred against those that we fear could take away our power like the left. We accept disagreements & dissent. We're humble but confident. We need this guy.

    I hope you conquer your demons. This will sound weird, but for teens such as myself, your music is important and without it, we would feel trapped by all the strange stuff around us. Worried a plane might fall out of the sky. That we might get shot. That we don't have a reason to even try. But just knowing there's others out there like you lets us realize how dumb that is. If we spend every second worrying something bad will happen, what's the point of living? A lot of things too personal for youtube helped me realize this, and I know your music wasn't so special, it's just that I see you just smiling with your family with everything and everyone against you. That is inspirational to many people here, and for that, you really are the best rapper. Thank you, Tom. You gave me hope to last my whole life.
