Tom inspired me to help my son quit drinking and using cocaine! He's been clean for a year now! I chose to love and support him instead of hating him for his mistakes. GOD answered my prayers.

I am a 52 yr old AF Vet who listens to Country music and has all my life. Tom, you go hard man, I love your music and I absolutley love that you are a F'N Patriot that loves this Country as much as I do. Keep kicking everyone's ass my man. I'll keep listening.
I am from GenX, and i grew up both in poverty and subject to an abusive father. Thank God i was never addicted to drugs though. Like you, i rose out of those circumstances and made a better life for me and my family. I am not a millionaire, but my riches are a stable and healthy family built through hard work. I retired from the army after 21 years and i would still defend our great country with my blood. Even though you looked scary to me at first, when i listened to your videos it matches my inner thoughts and how i feel about life and our country. A great role model you are sir!! Keep up the fight.
Omg I ugly cried and I even knew about all of it but for real the fact that he retired his mom, bought his dad his car and took care of his sister BEFORE ever buying himself a car shows you his priorities. It's everyone he loves before himself.
I usually don't post comments, but this video hit hard for me. I can relate. I am now 58 with a felony committed 32 years ago that everyone told me would ruin my life. I worked shit jobs, was homeless, doing drugs and drinking more than I should. Years later I gave up working dead end jobs, barely surviving. Now I have worked in county jails supervising inmates, am now a state licensed armed security guard who carries a valid ccp. I refused to believe the lies that I wouldn't amount to anything, but look at me now. Just wish my dad was alive to see what I've done with my life. Tom... Your an inspiration. Thank you brother for touching me with this video.
❤ 🙏 congratulations my guy much love and proud of you for overcoming what you did. The way I look at is when you run in to a problem in life label it a life hurdle. You have 2 ways around..... 1 you can take the easy way by going around but at the cost of taking 5 steps back or you can meet it head on and push through, feeling better bout yourself for having faced what needed to be faced. Your dad knows he's always by your side ❤
You worked hard, stayed strong when you wanted to quit, you told yourself you could do it even if at times you didn't believe it and you never stopped, you kept going. Now that's bad ass. Your Dad can see what you've done for yourself and I'm sure he's never been more proud. Keep it going fam💪👊
I am 20 years sober and I walked that same road except I never got rich. I got what I needed and I am happy My hubby got sober too and he almost died getting there. I loved you before I ever heard your story. No one can imitate you. You have inspired me to no end. Now I see what that glow of God is on you. I thought you were just starting out. I am so impressed with you. Your example is going to show an entire generation there is a better way. Thank you for being true to you and never giving up your dream. At 65 I will never stop looking for another new rap from you. Your political raps are the best and they come from your heart. God is using you to lead others to a sober life, a stable loving life, and a life built with GOD as your strength. NEVER EVER CHANGE FOR ANYONE! YOU BE YOU I LOVE WHO YOU ARE.
I am autistic and what people call me special needs person but I love Tom he is an inspiration to me keep it Tom you will always have my support you’re an inspiration to everyone who want to break out of the box that this place by people who don’t know the power that you have.
I'm autistic as well but I have four degrees and no one could call me any of those names. I'll make you my own medicine and do my own programs. I got AI on lock, if I could do all this and I have this so-called illness anyone could do it you're the only person that could get in your way. I have to work harder than other people but that's a challenge that I rather have.
The same ppl that think you are "special needs" are the ones that NEED us to believe we have no power. Oh our power is great, your mind is yours not theirs, they will never understand it and that IS ok. You live in there and it is a powerful place.
Man it's crazy this song is exactly what America needs right now. Who cares about the fact that you came from Canada, you're still more American than 90 percent of the "Americans" in this country. I grew up listening to rock n roll and heavy metal but Tom has made me proud to say that I'm now a rap fan as well. I own four of his CDs and plan on adding more to my collection.Thank you so much for showing everyone what really matters in today's world, family, faith, and believing in oneself. Love you Tom and Nova your hard work shows. HOG 4 life!!!!!!!
I've got multiple friends who went to high school with Tom in Canada. They're blown away by how different he is now, but they also say he was super nice. One of them made out with him at a party once. 😅
I am surprised at how many older people are loving Tom's music. I think its fantastic and is another testament that one reason Tom is so popular is that regardless of our backgrounds, ages, of anything, many people seem to feel similarly about the state of things today. Tom, you rock. Awesome song, seems like you've wanted to get that off your chest. It turned out great.
I'm a 68 yr old Pentecostal Southern Lady and the first song I heard was " You Missed" !!!! and after listening to it about 50 times straight I pulled up his other songs. That night at 1:30 a.m. I was still playing his music instead of going to sleep. I AM A HUGE FAN BECAUSE HE PUTS OUR FEELINGS INTO HIS MUSIC & ITS LIKE HE GIVES IT A VOICE!!! We aren't alone any more, we have all of these anthems !!!❤❤❤ God Bless Tom & Family & God Bless All who love America & Tom Macdonald also✝️🙏🏻❤️
My son went through similar tough times, he was selling and doing drugs in a drug in a bad town in Iowa. He found a saving grace (The Corps) and went for it, instead of prison. It changed his life forever and he will never go back to his past life. I told him about your music after i found you and he said He Loves Your Entire Movement, Sound, Family History and story. I just wanted to say Thank You! I am happy you found God! I am Ecstatic you found Jesus, our savior! Don’t stop! We Love you and your music! I am just one Marine but I think most Marines in all the Corps love your music! Keep killing it!
I am a 65 yr old who would never ever listen to this type of music, considering the 60’-70’s era I was brought up in. But, I have been listening to Tom for a few years now only because his lyrics resonate in today’s society and hits home for me. Keep up the good and expose the evil.
@@vesuvios9006 unintelligent comments such as yours sorrily abounds with many in our society today. In my era, I would never make an unintelligent comment like yours, unless of course, there is evidence to support such a statement. And, if there was, I would never waste my energy on such a preposterous comment. I wonder what your real agenda is…
Quit meth and been sober for 8 years, now I truly live and succeed at life. God always believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. Amen to our sobriety and freedom.
Can you please pray for me? My name is Danielle. I've quit everything for years. Alcohol has taken refuge in my soul. I have a wonderful blessed life. I want my last demon away from me. Please. God bless you
Prayer sent up for you Danielle. Don't let that demon steal away the life you have, God took away my burden He can take away yours. Good luck it will get easier, it never goes away completely but you will get stronger.
I've been sober from alcohol for 10 years I've been off of hardcore drugs for almost four and a half years but I'm still struggling with a lot of demons
I’m 50 years old and I think that your music is amazing. There will be haters in this messed up world of ours. Do not listen or fall for there B.S. stay strong ❤ from ATX!!!!!!
This is not a song... it is the soundtrack to a short film. If you don't watch the video, you don't get the full effect. This is absolute fire Tom. Seriously, no words. Powerful af.
Tom, when you have to rise up from the bottom and do it all on your own, this…… This is what you have to be proud of. What you have done to benefit yourself, Nova and especially your family is incredible. Also being a Canadian you have more respect for the USA than some who have been residents of since the beginning. I am an American born and raised and respect your Love and loyalty to our beautiful country!🇺🇸🙏
Not sure what to even say here....watched this 3-4x just to make sure I got it all. Bringing sis, mom, dad, Nova into the mix has been your biggest WIN. The next biggest win is the USA having you on their side. A Canadian with more American pride than 90% of this country. Love for veterans, love for family, and love for the little guys out here. That's Tom MacDonald. Never stop the grind. You are changing lives out here. #HOGLife
If only this country was something worth having pride in, but it's not and never was! That is a fact! This nation was built by slaves for slave owners and if you can't admit there is something wrong with that, there is something wrong with you! We are literally funding the war in gaza and arming israel, but yeah, LOVE YOUR COUNTRY! Yet you talk shit about all dems and "liberals" as if you know a damn thing about them! Trump is a CRIMINAL who has to threaten the daughter of a judge because of his CRIMES! 93 felonies buddy!
No words to describe what I feel right now, Tom!!! I am a 67 year old Grandma and I LOVE your incredible honesty, talent and down right FU attitude. God Bless You and your family today. I think this song says it all to the world and it will change humanity one listener at a time!
Gave me chills!!!!!! We need you in this fight to save America I will be buying this one brother 😮 crazy fire very intense DID NOT DISAPPOINT AT ALL GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!!
That’s my boy! 63 yr old woman, who’s been following you, supporting you, sharing your videos and believing in you and what you and Nova are all about. God be with you. Love you Tom!
in the Words of my wife, "This is the only rapper we will let our son listen to. He is an actually good role model." May god continue to bless you Tom, and may you be even more blessed with many children when the time comes.
Listened to ICP since i was 7, worst thing open beer ticket. Any who'd blame music or game just lol. Careful sheltering being introduced to it all at once dicey. Wish you the best fr.
We have other music for him as well, just tom is one of the few rappers that have songs beyond pointless things. Rather his music teach him lessons and have meaning while we can still effect his choices in music.
@@danieldomeisen2632 I mean any person anywhere anytime can show him a kind of music. Filtering the world is impossible. But I get it just don't stick him in a bubble. It will 100% get poped eventually.Much love though, crazy out here.
This is Tom MacDonald! This is a window into who Tom is, I love it. You built the foundation to your family, you weren't given a house and a life. You built it and proved it! Fantastic song man, you've inspired me to keep going. Hog
Man I was about to head out the door to the job I have worked for 13 months now. Not a big deal? Its the first real job other than selling drugs I have ever had. I have been to prison, rehab, vacationed in hell a few times. God saw more than a hopeless junky. At my worst he was at His best and gave me a new life and a new heart. #JesusSaves. Thanks Tom.
I'm 9 years clean and sober. I started my own business and moved next to the beach, gave my son what I never had. I also thank God every single day for all that I have. No more misery ❤
Oh my goodness Tom!! I am watching this now. This was incredible. I am a Mimi and have 3 adult kids and 2 grandbabies. I loved this video and loved how you brought your family in. At the end God bless you for all the American songs, Trump songs, political songs, you have dine.
Awesome! No hook, no chorus, no refrain... just fire all the way through! A greedy man could have made 3 or 4 songs out of this, but Tom did the right thing and made an epic opus of power, love to his family and his truth. This is going in my "Listen at least weekly" playlist!
That wasn't a song, that was an experience. An 8 minute song and it stayed interesting the entire time. Incredible, especially in this day and age where bite size content is very popular. Tom killed this.
What I love about Tom is that he rose out of the ashes of his past like a phoenix. No one is perfect. We all mess up and make mistakes. Learning from them and leaving them behind is the greatest gift anyone can give themselves. I'm sure Tom's parents and family are SO proud of him and are his #1 fans and support team! I can imagine them sitting around a table discussing all the darkness this world has fallen into and how corrupt and wicked it truly is. Inspiration can come from so many places! Thank you Tom for taking such good care of your parents. You are a remarkable and talented man! May God continue to bless you and keep you on the path to victory. 👍😇
i am astonished i finished challenging the fallen ones. a hit is out on me for my ways of embrassing my light. did finally ingested the last geronimo. clean and mean amen mda fuckas
Used to be 350lbs, and had no self confidence. @TomMacDonaldOfficial your music is what got me through my workouts everyday and got me through my food addiction. I'm now 190lbs, doing open mics chasing my dream of stand up comedy and joining the US Coast Guard, in June!!! Hang Over Gang for Life!!!
Wow wow WOW! That blew me away. Every emotion. Every word. HOG I am so proud to be part of it. Tom wrote me a personal message a few years back when i was on my knees emotionally. He was the one who picked me up. His time, his words. His music, his words mean the world to me ❤❤❤ Xxx
Tom you are the voice of the silent majority. Those of us who are patriots, stand for our families, and would die for this great land. Keep it up. You give us a voice, an anthem, So don't stop!!
I just saw this video for the first time on the Cartier fam podcast. I am average Caucasian woman going on 60 yrs old and I am loving this beat, the words and this rapper. I love his transparency. I love that he’s real. I’m forwarding this video to everyone I know, especially my kids who the “woke” Gen A-Z are trying to corrupt their minds hearts and souls telling them not listen to their hard working parents but believe LIES the Democratic Party is selling our youth! Hallelujah keep rapping! All glory to God! This is why God created this young rapper to be the way he is because he’s going to reach an audience that many never could! Btw I’m a VERY imperfect Christian, too! Much love God bless you Tom MacDonald!!!
64 years old, no kids but taught community college, I am so happy Tom is conquering what's some of these professors are trying to shove down their throats and call it education
Tom MacDonald is proof that America is still great. I'm happy that he brought himself back from the brink and has proven anything is possible with hard work and dedication. Thank you Tom.
I love how people still hate Tom for "Not being a real American". America is a nation of immigrants. Tom is one of many examples that the American dream still exists.
@@rainofkittens Most Americans aren't "real" Americans. Like you said, America is a nation of immigrants. It has nothing to do with where you are born, it has everything to do with your mindset... well, legal citizenship is also important - but I digress. My great grandfather immigrated here from Italy. My grandfather fought for this country. My grandparents struggled to afford to raise 3 children, and they grew up on the poverty line. Every Christmas was a pair of socks and slippers, maybe pajamas, no toys, while their friends had action figures and the full Barbie house or things like that. They had a lot of simple meals, were disciplined when out of line, and stayed close throughout their years looking out for each other. My mother worked 2 to 3 jobs at a time to support me since my father was a deadbeat, but she showed me that working hard is the path even when no one else is there to help you. It was tough, wearing clothes too big for you because you had to grow into them since we couldn't afford new clothes often. The joy I felt finally getting a real pair of shoes that fit and felt comfortable brought tears to my mother's eyes and a sense of happiness myself that I never knew I was missing. Fast food like McDonalds was maybe a once-a-month treat for being good, because it was too expensive to have more than that. But we didn't give up. You can't let the pressure crumble you. Never back down, never give in. I got a job as soon as I turned 15 to help out. I grew up with a learning disability and nervous system disorder. Doctors tried to medicate me and told me I needed their poison, that I would never be independent, but my willpower was stronger than that. I followed the example of my mother and worked hard every day of my life. My mother helped me reach the top of the wall, and I managed to pull both myself and her over it. I bought a house before I was 30, have a 6 figure job, and my mother is retired now while it is my turn to take care of her. That is the American dream. It has nothing to do with generational wealth, and nothing to do with simply existing here. It is having that mindset that you can make it if you try, and the willpower to avoid the things that try to stop you... Addiction, vices, lust, "friends" that encourage destructive behavior, and even the Government or parents telling you that you are a victim and should fear others. All of that pales in comparison to the feeling of accomplishment when you finally succeed. Be it medical professionals, friends, or even family, anyone that tries to hold you back, tells you that you are not capable, not worthy of your goals, toss them away. Real family are those who support you, prop you up, help you, encourage you, blood ties or not. Distance yourself from all those who would do otherwise.
@@rainofkittens Agree... but it's deeper than that. America isn't really a nation at all. It's an idea that existed before the Declaration of Independence or constitution were even written. The idea was that God-given liberty, individual responsibility and unfettered opportunity produce the best possible human existence. America just enshrined and codified this idea and then planted it in the hearts of its citizens. People all over the globe are loyal to that idea, whether or not their passport says "US citizen." And sadly, many people like Tom MacDonald understand what it means to be "American" better than most Americans.
This is what the American Dream used to look like. Pride in pulling yourself out of poverty, finding your strength and using it to better yourself and your family. Crushing your enemies with your success and flipping the bird to everyone that tries to stop you. You are an inspiration.
Yes.. that became corporate cronyism and the people who are upset didn't pass the "Do you want to keep your soul" test as laid out by almost every culture or religion ever lol
Exactly. Retired his mom, spoiled his family for raising him. That’s an example of what all of us should be doing. Paying it back and paying it forward. Absolute fire mode indeed.
What a joy it would be to meet this man and his wife. They love this country and all of the people who have been suffering and struggling just to survive. God bless you Tom!
36 year old single father of two. This man inspires me to do and be better for my kids than ANY modern day musician, philosopher, or preacher EVER has. Keep doing you, Tom, we got your back.
I'm 38 father of 2 men not (Pussies) been on my own since I was 14 and we are also all untested,unvaccinated and unmuzzled and never wore a muzzle. I was placed on unpaid leave for politely refusing to wear muzzle. I've been follow Tom since day 1 along with Chris Webby, Tyson James, and many more. That speak facts 💯.
Metalhead of almost forty years here. Discovered Tom last year and promptly bought every CD I could get my hands on from his site. The guy's unbelievable.
Just wow..... I said no way I'm gonna listen to the whole thing, then........ I couldn't stop listening ❤ I am a 60 year old great grandmother, and so proud to be H.O.G. FAMILY MEMBER!❤ Tom you and your family are true Americans!
Thank you for your service!! I was disabled right after 9/11 happened, but I am a huge supporter and part of a family that almost all served. Even my wife served in the Air Force for us in Japan for 7 years. All in all... Thanks again!!
Thank you for your service! The way that our current administration is treating our vets is unforgivable and unexplainable! Y’all deserve SO much better! God bless you and your family! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
Though ive discovered your music 2 years ago or so, is now when im addicted to it. You have an incredible talent man and you just spit facts. God Mode no doubt
I'm a drug addict myself. I've been recovering for a while now.And thank you, sir, for being an inspiration. You truly are to me. me. You're a very big one I have almost eight years so thank you sir
Keep it up I'm also an addict that has been clean for 20 years from meth and only a year from weed still working on alcohol this helps on my drive to keep the fight
I've been clean now for a few years, not keeping track helped me keep it out of my mind, it gets easier, and you probably will want to get high occasionally, I still do, but then I think of the negative that would come with it and get on with my day. Life sucks ass but we know it can be worse as we have lived it.
Tom I doubt you will ever see this comment but, I work at a Christian based drug rehab in CT. Your story is very similar to mine and others I work with daily. I have played some of your music for men on my floor who I know can relate. Success stories are much needed to hear because they are few and far between these days. If your ever in CT stop by and say hello to the men and women in my program. Or email some positive words of encouragement if you ever get the time. We are saving lives and your music helped me a lot. God bless you bro I been watching you for years keep up the great work.
I'm 67..Mexican..and I love what you say, finally intelligent music. You have immense talent. Don't let no one stop you. Your raw honesty is refreshing.
I feel like I just watched a 20 minute Netflix documentary episode of this mans life, and when it ended I wanted more. I then looked at the video length and it said 8:24 seconds... My goodness... This was incredible, truly.
I literally cried when your family walked out. You are the real thing, Tom. Always have been!! You just keep getting better!!! Thank you for standing up and being all that you are! You are an inspiration 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow I've listened to a lot of Christians give their testimony. But this will be the first, For music industry . Tom you should be very proud of what you've done through Christ and for your family!! I think that's every boy's dream to help their parents like you've done. Keep the faith in God, he will never leave you.
Tom and Nova thank you so much! I listened in 2020 and still do. Fighting hard with alchohol addiction but making progress. Always stay your authentic self😊much love and God bless
Omg!!! I'm in tears!!!! There is NO ONE on Earth who can rap with such TRUTH, no fluff, and raw emotion like you Tom!! This song is Everything!!!! I'm SO grateful you never gave up!!! Your entire family are all gems!!! Biggest hugs from Napa ❤❤❤❤❤
Tom I’m a 54 yr old lady. I came across you on my feed. Praise God He’s changed you! I love that you spend time with your family, and that you were selfless in helping them. Many rich people do not care about the example that they set for others. Thank you for being different. I’m going to pray for you still, and if you read this Tom, can you say one for me?
His parents and sister bent over backwards for him in his darkest days. They never abandoned him and he came back to repay the favor. God bless Tom and his family. I wish nothing but the best for Tom, Nova, his sister and parents. Also, blessings to Jared, Tom's brother-in-law and everyone else who has a hand in his art. HOG for life!
Thanks for adopting our country Tom. I would take one of you over a million Americans that don’t realize they are the most pampered humans ever to live. God bless you. Give all the glory to Christ.
Your son did a GREAT job, but lets not dwindle off the path here and look at what your SON did....it truly blows my mind how little credit people give themselves or their loved ones when they come off a drug or get clean....crazy how people just give thanks to "the lord/god" but have NO faith in their fellow humans....SAD world we live in.
As a Christian myself, Tom, the Word of God says that we have "ALL FALLEN SHORT OF HIS GLORY." Keep trusting Him...and remember that if they hated Jesus, then they'll most certainly hate you, too! May God bless you...and I pray that we will be hearing wedding bells soon. You and Nova make a great team! Blessings from this retired Army Veteran!!! We thank you for your support!!!
Amen. Nobody is a “perfect Christian”, and all need to accept and receive Jesus' crucifixion as the payment for their sins. To all reading this, God bless you and trust in Him in all you do.
Disabled army veteran here too. And yes please, wedding bells soon for these two perfect love birds. Tom and Nova are mind blowing and so important over these last few years. Honestly, my wife and I just had a daughter and we named her Novaly, Nova for short.... that's to you Mr Tom and Ms Nova... tie the knot and make her an honest woman. And have kids. Please don't let the world corrupt you two. Have kids. Continue on your genetics. All of your families lived through famine, war, starvation, and time /to have you both. Honor them and yourselves by continuing your lineage. Have children together, get married. Keep making music, and making yourselves proud. We love you guys, and pray for the best. We love the rest of you all too. God bless..........
I am a 72 year old Christian woman, and I applaud your message🇺🇸 Great to hear “TRUTH”, and overcoming despair, drugs, alcohol, hate, condemnation, with obvious victory!
@pegheacock6611 soon to be 60 but agree with you 💯! I overcame a horrible addiction to pain medication but Tom just reading as much as I can find about this young man God has him here for a reason. Like I said in another comment hold on to your Faith Tom.
If you are a Christian you should not be applauding this. Yes, it is good to overcome sin. But his message is one of pride and arrogance. Such is not from wisdom, God will destroy all pride. As a Christian Tom's music bears some truth to it but his theatrics are still demonic in appearance and nothing he sings is in the form of praise for The Father Almighty. He claims himself to be a goat (greatest of all time) but in Christian terms goats are on the left of Lord Christ and they will all perish. Those on the right of Lord Christ are all lambs, not goats. I think there is a good reason for this "interesting" play on words. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty sprite before a fall.
@@dannymidkiff8256 I don’t even know what that is 🤫 I maybe should not have said that but I do hear that rappers use that. I just hate Ryan attacking Tom for no reason. Have a blessed day! 🌹
DEAR LORD! 52 year old veteran here! GOAT DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE! You and your crew area amazing! Brought tears to my eyes how real and true of a person you are! I respect you, your crew and all you do! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK! And boohoo on you know who... He asked for it! and YOU brought it! FAFO! HOG FOREVER!
Yes, when he can. No shame there trying, and failing. You don't have to despair. It's really easy in fact. From hearing people talk about this, I'm amazed. I quit in 3 months. Alcoholic for 25+ years, no worries, not a feat. Rather easy if you eat enough. Have a big breakfast, a nice midday meal, and get to bed early enough that you won't ever want to do anything else .Read a book and listen to music. You get up at 5, have a good breakfast, and the world is your oyster! I swear it will do you good. You may also meet someone who's up to your standards, which will be better than the trollops you undoubtedly frequent otherwise. Have fun, my dear!
Whatever detour he took, his parents were obviously good people who loved their kids and that made an impression on who he is. Dad's keep showing up and taking care of things your sons see it.
Thank you so much for everything. A year ago I was sitting on my back steps, high on a multiple day binge, crying and watching the video for your song "Sober" over and over again. I called a friend of mine, him and his wife are both in recovery. I finally bit the bullet and started going to meetings. I'm working out, fasting, changing how I eat, etc. My life keeps changing. I'm about to celebrate my first year clean and I'm so fucking pumped about pushing myself even further this next year. You really do change people's lives!
Honestly, I, personally LOVE how Tom... and Nova push those who will listen ✊️. Keep up the work and keep looking for what pushes you on a personal level.
I had tears in my eyes before this video was over. We LOVE the Tom MacDonald that is here TODAY. And we understand the road from which you came. We LOVE what you stand for because WE all stand WITH YOU! Naysayers are naysayers because they are JEALOUS!! Keep being YOU, Tom. Love you and Nova and the whole HOG!
Preach! Truest artist out there. So fucking proud of you Tom. I’m a war vet who gets through those tough days listening to you and grounding myself back to the real world. I drank for years, hurt myself and those near me…now I’m sober, made it through, and remind myself through blasting your songs that I am strong. I got this. Thanks for giving us anthems to live by. Peace.
This young man is the perfect example of the phrase "don't judge a book by it's cover". With the face tats many people discount his talent. I'm a 57 year old conservative that roots for people like him, that pulled themselves out of the gutter and made something of themselves, while also being strong enough to stand up for what he believes in
Tom I am a 56 yr old vet I found your music about a year ago. I will say you've saved me from a very dark place. I've looked into the business end of a pistol and wanted to finish a bottle of pills for the dirt nap. You and Nova's music pulled me from the abyss. I'm not sure if you read any of the comments but you keep doing you
Thank you for your service @thomasroof1172. I am 57 and found Tom's music most helpful in dark times also. I am grateful you are still here. ❤ Thank you Tom and Nova from all those of us you have touched in an extraordinary way.
Keep on keeping on. It's time to awaken to our new world of love and unity. We are all here to help one another and to be the change we wish to see in the world. God bless you. Please stay in the body for the big show God has for us all!
Your song “church” is exactly how I felt when I tried to get sober 3X before I almost died over Christmas 2021 from alcoholic hepatitis Now I’ve been sober since that hospital stay! And I’m in nursing school and just bought a house inn November 2023 with my amazing Fiancé 😊❤ you are an amazing inspiration Tom!!
Love the "I'm a patriot" line as long as you love this country and claim it as your homeland then you are an American in my eyes and as a vet thank you for the support brother
You and Nova are an inspiration to people that are trying to quit. Im a disabled veteran please keep going the way yall are. I’m proud of yall for pulling out of yalls addictions. STAY STRONG WE ALL ARE HERE FOR YALL
Dear Tom I like your music and I think you are a wonderful person. I am a 70 year old lady from the Netherlands and your music makes me happy. Thank you dear boy.
I had a hip hop label called "Lethal Beat Records" back in the 80's. We talked internally about gangster rap and freedom of speech. We had Bootsy Colins with us on Ground Zero's album. Tom Macdonald is the artist we were looking for but he wasn't even born yet. Tom showed up just when we needed him. History will write that Tom was way ahead of everyone else in calling like it is.
5 years sober, Marine vet and recently joined the Police and a God fearing Christian. I haven't heard of you before, but this song was absolutely astounding and the message is AMAZING. God bless you and your family and thank you for your passion in music.
Brother I'm a army vet who was in Afghanistan and I have struggled myself in many ways that I'm not going to talk about on here but I do always look for people that are positive and inspiring and awesome and he definitely fit the bill for me too this is the very first song of his I've ever heard... And I felt that in my heart all the way down to my soul! Stay safe out there brother!
IM a 59 year old Nana and appreciate your words, implications and your music. Keep going Tom. Thanks for coming to America and showing us how to be patriots. Oh, enjoy your rewards. You earned each and every one of them. ❤
Tom, you are NOT Canadian. That may be where you immigrated from, but you came home to the U.S., you love the country and want to see it prosper, and you are a patriot. You are more American than many Americans. It doesn't matter WHERE you came from, it only matters where you belong now, and you belong HERE in America. I wish you continued success, for yourself, and for all those whom you inspire.
@@shaundraclarke2343 I can't argue that you should be proud he is from Canada. It just annoys me when people say he isn't American. I am guessing he didn't renounce his Canadian citizenship when he earned his U.S. citizenship, so that would make him both. However, his is every bit an American as much as anyone who was born here.
Absolutely! You guys are very lucky to have a man like that living in and loving your country. We in Canada will always be every bit as proud that he shares his roots with us 👍 He makes both our nations very proud my southern neighbor! 😊
TOM and Nova ..i turned 69 yesterday....GOD obviously gave you TWO a GIFT!!!! This country needs YOU, NOVA and family! ! please keep rapping the TRUTH it's something that we Rarely see. I'm drying my eyes after viewing today..CARRY ON!!! GOD BLESS!!!
I’m from AUSTRALIA rap is not my thing I work in the world of opera ballet and musicals but I can appreciate other forms of musics and TOM you are truly the GOAT your lyrics are always on point you never hold back well done man keep going at it we know you will continue crush them all. Come your AUSTRALIA
Legendary track Tom. Since everyone seems to be dropping their story and age in the comments, here goes: I'm 31, and your journey reminds me of elements of my own. At 19 I left my parents on bad terms, lived with "friends" and got mixed up in a world of drugs and crime, living in trailer trash, sleeping on the floor or the couch. 4 years of abusing pills/powders, 5 years of drinking every weekend, 10 years of smoking cigarettes and 10 years of smoking weed. I quit pills/powders in 2014. Quit abusing alcohol in 2015 (drink once a year now). Walked away from the old crew in 2016, and reconnected with my family who has been so good to me. I don't deserve them. In 2017 found a gift from God in the form of a new friend group that is sober, loves God, and cares about each other. Restarted my walk with God. Quit tobacco in 2020. Quit weed in 2021. Got a steady job in 2022, which I'm still at now and have great coworkers. Been improving my art, my physical health, my faith, and more. God saves, follow Him. You have to take that step.
@@suzannesund4595 1. I was never addicted, genuinely. Despite a family history of alcoholism and my addictive nature to all the aforementioned things, alcohol never had its hooks in me, and I never really cared for it. 2. I've gone nearly half a decade now with easily committing to the once/twice a year thing, so I know I'm not addicted. My birthday and sometimes a random point in the year where I'd like to have a mixed drink while watching a movie alone or something. Very much a classy "me-time" thing now opposed to the prior life of getting wasted with people I didn't want to be around. I rarely get drunk, too, we're talking like 1-2 small mixed drinks sipped during a movie, once or twice a year. If I feel stressed or depressed and find myself thinking about using one of my yearly drinks for it, I stop myself every time and do something else, so as not to let myself use it as a crutch. It's an odd and rare situation, but it really does work well for me. I have the same bottle of Suntory whiskey nearly full sitting in the pantry from my birthday last September lol. I often forget it even exists.
Yup, my kids and I quote him in conversations all the time. I actually turn his music up all the way to get them out of bed in the morning, so everyone is in a good mood. Then I have it ready in the car when I pick them up from school. We are switching to homeschooling and I bought his book of poetry to go line by line with them, because all of the messages matter. That would probably freak him out 😅 but he's a genius worth studying, so 💯
Let's have some fun. Song is called "GOD MODE" and Tom surely does perform this tune well throughout it's entirely, but what parts make you "feel" when you got the "God Mode" in your own heart? For me - 5:06 - 5:40. I am a struggling artist myself (woodworking) and I know exactly what he is expressing and working through. Hardcore material here. I'm not the proof yet, but I'm always analyzing and regrouping my efforts to make my dream become a reality. Thank you Tom for the music that helps me to push myself forward when I fail.
I’m a Red Blooded American. A Patriot to the Bone. Also, Im a 59 year old Disabled Veteran. I grew up on the streets of L.A. My life is full of scars. But, I Thank the Lord that I’m still above ground. My Daughter made me watch one of your videos and I’ve been one of your supporters ever since. Keep your head up and keep moving forward. As My Father would say. You’re the Shit. Don’t ever stop. Take Care & God Bless
I dont know if this has any meaning to you. I am neither an american or able to put myself in your shoes. But i think its always important to tell men like yourself thank you for your service, your sacrifices, your hard work and for hanging on. People are better of because of your views, your deeds and your hard earned wisdom. Keep preaching and we will keep listening!
I will say this again and again finally a artist who sings about more than guns booze and drugs original and speaks what he feels.im 50 years old with an eight year old daughter and I let her listen to Tom because he's real and doesn't disrespect woman .I hope he keeps doing this for years.
I am a 56y/o US Army veteran, and in todays world it is good to see a man who loves his (adopted) Country, cares about his family and takes care of them, and constantly speaks truth that "81 million" voters cannot comprehend.
As a former heroin addict that dragged myself out of that life to keep custody of my new baby daughter, clean for 13 years now, I love your music. It inspires me that anyone can do anything if they want it bad enough. My brother is also a veteran and did 3 tours. It's nice to have someone give a shit about those men and women. Thank you for all you do and all you stand for! Fuck the copycats because you can't copy authentic genius. ❤
@marabellmar6510 @Anders_Johansson - Congradulations . I've never had the trouble with addiction. I did watch it kill two people I cared deeply about. Amazing work for 13 years in recovery. I know it was hella hard. I am glad you both are still here bumping it to @hangovergangoffical . May your success beyond addiction inspire others to reach for the help they need to move beyond their demons to sobriety . God Bless. Keep on living life; with all its messy parts. You k never know who you'll inspire to move beyond their addictions. 💙
Genuinely never thought this was possible for an independent artist to make the music they want and be successful. Goes against everything I know to be true about the music industry. Can’t put into words how proud and how thankful I am that you exist. Truly inspiring and I am forever grateful for it.
All I have is Christ. Paraplegic at 18, many people thought that i would suffer in life because sonething bad permanently damaged me but all i can say is thank you Lord you have blessed me through it all.Married 13 years to a loving husband with three daughters, what more could i ask for?The Lord can use anyone(especially the broken ones) to spread his truth of salvation and hope.

Incredible! Kinda shocked. Learned a lot about ya.
Tom inspired me to help my son quit drinking and using cocaine! He's been clean for a year now! I chose to love and support him instead of hating him for his mistakes. GOD answered my prayers.
Excellent, well done, that's hard work.
So proud of you guys! Praise the Lord!
Amazing!
Awesome ❤ Give your son a big hug from me. I'm totally addicted to Tom's music, and I'm a 69 year old lady from Norway 🇳🇴

I am a 52 yr old AF Vet who listens to Country music and has all my life. Tom, you go hard man, I love your music and I absolutley love that you are a F'N Patriot that loves this Country as much as I do. Keep kicking everyone's ass my man. I'll keep listening.
Thank you for your service.
Yes THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you for your service. Many blessings to all 🙏☮️🌞🌻🐣🍦🎶💙🖤🤘🫶
Thank you for your service 🇺🇲🇺🇲
hell yeah, lets take this country back!!!! 🍔
I am from GenX, and i grew up both in poverty and subject to an abusive father. Thank God i was never addicted to drugs though. Like you, i rose out of those circumstances and made a better life for me and my family. I am not a millionaire, but my riches are a stable and healthy family built through hard work. I retired from the army after 21 years and i would still defend our great country with my blood. Even though you looked scary to me at first, when i listened to your videos it matches my inner thoughts and how i feel about life and our country. A great role model you are sir!! Keep up the fight.
Tom taking care of his family brought me to tears. Family is everything 🙏❤️
My farts are better than Tom's farts.
@@p-__ you are a fart
Omg I ugly cried and I even knew about all of it but for real the fact that he retired his mom, bought his dad his car and took care of his sister BEFORE ever buying himself a car shows you his priorities. It's everyone he loves before himself.
@@p-__prove it
Yoo when his family started to flow in the video I was like shit my eyes are watering.
I usually don't post comments, but this video hit hard for me. I can relate.
I am now 58 with a felony committed 32 years ago that everyone told me would ruin my life. I worked shit jobs, was homeless, doing drugs and drinking more than I should.
Years later I gave up working dead end jobs, barely surviving. Now I have worked in county jails supervising inmates, am now a state licensed armed security guard who carries a valid ccp.
I refused to believe the lies that I wouldn't amount to anything, but look at me now. Just wish my dad was alive to see what I've done with my life.
Tom... Your an inspiration. Thank you brother for touching me with this video.
❤ 🙏 congratulations my guy much love and proud of you for overcoming what you did. The way I look at is when you run in to a problem in life label it a life hurdle. You have 2 ways around..... 1 you can take the easy way by going around but at the cost of taking 5 steps back or you can meet it head on and push through, feeling better bout yourself for having faced what needed to be faced. Your dad knows he's always by your side ❤
This comment was do real!! ❤ congratulations 🙌 if nobody said it today. WE ALL ARE PROUD OF YOU X❤
Brother your dad see you and is proud of you
Amazing bro!!!!❤❤❤❤
You worked hard, stayed strong when you wanted to quit, you told yourself you could do it even if at times you didn't believe it and you never stopped, you kept going. Now that's bad ass. Your Dad can see what you've done for yourself and I'm sure he's never been more proud. Keep it going fam💪👊
I am 20 years sober and I walked that same road except I never got rich. I got what I needed and I am happy My hubby got sober too and he almost died getting there. I loved you before I ever heard your story. No one can imitate you. You have inspired me to no end. Now I see what that glow of God is on you. I thought you were just starting out. I am so impressed with you. Your example is going to show an entire generation there is a better way. Thank you for being true to you and never giving up your dream. At 65 I will never stop looking for another new rap from you. Your political raps are the best and they come from your heart. God is using you to lead others to a sober life, a stable loving life, and a life built with GOD as your strength. NEVER EVER CHANGE FOR ANYONE! YOU BE YOU I LOVE WHO YOU ARE.
The part with your family was beautiful. True art. Family is everything.
Yes, so touching how he's taken care of his loved ones. I just wanna see Nova and Tom make some babies and watch them blow up the biz.
That part!!!
I love how his sister and dad come in so serious but his mom just can't help but smile 😁 real ones don't let the world sour them. Go Tom's mom!
She is absolutely adorable! Lol Go Tom's Mom! Lol
I am autistic and what people call me special needs person but I love Tom he is an inspiration to me keep it Tom you will always have my support you’re an inspiration to everyone who want to break out of the box that this place by people who don’t know the power that you have.
I'm autistic as well but I have four degrees and no one could call me any of those names. I'll make you my own medicine and do my own programs. I got AI on lock, if I could do all this and I have this so-called illness anyone could do it you're the only person that could get in your way. I have to work harder than other people but that's a challenge that I rather have.
The same ppl that think you are "special needs" are the ones that NEED us to believe we have no power. Oh our power is great, your mind is yours not theirs, they will never understand it and that IS ok. You live in there and it is a powerful place.
@oliviawiseman2236 some not all.... same are fake too...
I’m special needs and this isn’t helping this message because I’m fat and ugly and so so special needs
@oliviawiseman2236I have fetal alcohol syndrome and I’m fat and ugly and special needs
Got a year and 3 months clean off a 10 year oxy,heroin,fentanyl binge .thank you god for giving me a chance to get back on my feet .
I know that shits hard
Hell yes!
Man it's crazy this song is exactly what America needs right now. Who cares about the fact that you came from Canada, you're still more American than 90 percent of the "Americans" in this country. I grew up listening to rock n roll and heavy metal but Tom has made me proud to say that I'm now a rap fan as well. I own four of his CDs and plan on adding more to my collection.Thank you so much for showing everyone what really matters in today's world, family, faith, and believing in oneself. Love you Tom and Nova your hard work shows. HOG 4 life!!!!!!!
The Canadians arrive devils Brigade ❤
Amen😂
im a tom fan. rap isn't cool.
I've got multiple friends who went to high school with Tom in Canada. They're blown away by how different he is now, but they also say he was super nice. One of them made out with him at a party once. 😅
I'm a grown a$$ man that almost never sheds tears at funerals and got watery eyed at 6:30 out of joy for the fam. Pure fire man
I adores seeing his family!! Great job Nova for your vision
that's what real men do...
I am surprised at how many older people are loving Tom's music. I think its fantastic and is another testament that one reason Tom is so popular is that regardless of our backgrounds, ages, of anything, many people seem to feel similarly about the state of things today. Tom, you rock. Awesome song, seems like you've wanted to get that off your chest. It turned out great.
I'm fixing to be 62 & I love his music !!
Yeah, I'm 63 and hate rap, except for Tom, Adam and Ryan ❤
Us Older " Kid At Heart" Are REAL😊
I'm a 68 yr old Pentecostal Southern Lady and the first song I heard was
" You Missed" !!!! and after listening to it about 50 times straight I pulled up his other songs. That night at 1:30 a.m. I was still playing his music instead of going to sleep. I AM A HUGE FAN BECAUSE HE PUTS OUR FEELINGS INTO HIS MUSIC & ITS LIKE HE GIVES IT A VOICE!!! We aren't alone any more, we have all of these anthems !!!❤❤❤ God Bless Tom & Family & God Bless All who love America & Tom Macdonald also✝️🙏🏻❤️
My son went through similar tough times, he was selling and doing drugs in a drug in a bad town in Iowa. He found a saving grace (The Corps) and went for it, instead of prison. It changed his life forever and he will never go back to his past life. I told him about your music after i found you and he said He Loves Your Entire Movement, Sound, Family History and story. I just wanted to say Thank You! I am happy you found God! I am Ecstatic you found Jesus, our savior! Don’t stop! We Love you and your music! I am just one Marine but I think most Marines in all the Corps love your music! Keep killing it!
I am a 65 yr old who would never ever listen to this type of music, considering the 60’-70’s era I was brought up in. But, I have been listening to Tom for a few years now only because his lyrics resonate in today’s society and hits home for me. Keep up the good and expose the evil.
Another fake profile
@@vesuvios9006 Obviously the only fake here is you.
@@vesuvios9006 unintelligent comments such as yours sorrily abounds with many in our society today. In my era, I would never make an unintelligent comment like yours, unless of course, there is evidence to support such a statement.

I’m right there with you! 53 year old cancer survivor and his music has impacted me in ways I’ll never be able to express clearly enough

Thank you for your service. I’ve been sober for 30 plus years, so it can be done. Congratulations on your continuing sobriety.
Thank you for your service my friend.
Thanks for your service and God bless you and yours
Thanks for your service sir! God bless you and your family.
Feast on the good stuff, Tom is a lighthouse and YOU must find DaX too.
Thank you LEGENDS
Amen from a 76 year old, Sober 40 years. AMEN. Sobriety is Freedom. Don't ever bend to anything that wants to control your soul, Sober and Free. AMEN.
Quit meth and been sober for 8 years, now I truly live and succeed at life. God always believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. Amen to our sobriety and freedom.
Nine years sober myself congratulations. God is good.
Can you please pray for me? My name is Danielle. I've quit everything for years. Alcohol has taken refuge in my soul. I have a wonderful blessed life. I want my last demon away from me. Please. God bless you
Prayer sent up for you Danielle. Don't let that demon steal away the life you have, God took away my burden He can take away yours. Good luck it will get easier, it never goes away completely but you will get stronger.
I've been sober from alcohol for 10 years I've been off of hardcore drugs for almost four and a half years but I'm still struggling with a lot of demons
I’m 50 years old and I think that your music is amazing. There will be haters in this messed up world of ours. Do not listen or fall for there B.S.

Like NF said...when you are down, no one cares, but once you make it, they miss the old you. Brilliant work Tom.
You lookin for the old me, check the morgue -NF. This lyric came to mind.

My farts are better than Tom's farts.
Powerful line indeed@@ashleycomer6119

This is not a song... it is the soundtrack to a short film. If you don't watch the video, you don't get the full effect. This is absolute fire Tom. Seriously, no words. Powerful af.
Tom's life stories in song?!??? Wow you are just a genius 🔥🔥🔥
Nova did her thing💯💯😎🤙
“I shoulda saw graves but GOD saves I got faith!” I teared up. This is amazing!!
That line got me too! 😢
Ten fold.
Yes!!! This line was powerful!
No matter how far gone we are, we can always come back 🙏🏻
💯🤘🏼🤘🏼
Tom, when you have to rise up from the bottom and do it all on your own, this…… This is what you have to be proud of. What you have done to benefit yourself, Nova and especially your family is incredible. Also being a Canadian you have more respect for the USA than some who have been residents of since the beginning. I am an American born and raised and respect your Love and loyalty to our beautiful country!🇺🇸🙏
Not sure what to even say here....watched this 3-4x just to make sure I got it all. Bringing sis, mom, dad, Nova into the mix has been your biggest WIN. The next biggest win is the USA having you on their side. A Canadian with more American pride than 90% of this country. Love for veterans, love for family, and love for the little guys out here. That's Tom MacDonald. Never stop the grind. You are changing lives out here. #HOGLife
If only this country was something worth having pride in, but it's not and never was! That is a fact! This nation was built by slaves for slave owners and if you can't admit there is something wrong with that, there is something wrong with you! We are literally funding the war in gaza and arming israel, but yeah, LOVE YOUR COUNTRY! Yet you talk shit about all dems and "liberals" as if you know a damn thing about them! Trump is a CRIMINAL who has to threaten the daughter of a judge because of his CRIMES! 93 felonies buddy!
⭐❤️🌟💖💛💫💜🤍💥💙✨💚
No words to describe what I feel right now, Tom!!! I am a 67 year old Grandma and I LOVE your incredible honesty, talent and down right FU attitude. God Bless You and your family today. I think this song says it all to the world and it will change humanity one listener at a time!

Gave me chills!!!!!!
We need you in this fight to save America I will be buying this one brother 😮 crazy fire very intense
DID NOT DISAPPOINT AT ALL GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!!

You really wrote this on every comment? 😂😂😂@StevieNockman
That’s my boy! 63 yr old woman, who’s been following you, supporting you, sharing your videos and believing in you and what you and Nova are all about. God be with you. Love you Tom!
Whoa... I'm not trying to be an internet creep but you make 63 look like 33!
Id hit it 😃
My grandkids turned me on to this Man! Who has no fear of his words and he is so awesome! I am with you @mmillard I am also 60 and this is great!
Just ten years your junior and same. There is a lotta heart in his lyrics.
It’s amazing how he has brought so many people, from different age groups, together. Nova and Tom are the ultimate Power Couple
in the Words of my wife, "This is the only rapper we will let our son listen to. He is an actually good role model."
May god continue to bless you Tom, and may you be even more blessed with many children when the time comes.
your son is in purgatory 😭✌️
Listened to ICP since i was 7, worst thing open beer ticket. Any who'd blame music or game just lol. Careful sheltering being introduced to it all at once dicey. Wish you the best fr.
We have other music for him as well, just tom is one of the few rappers that have songs beyond pointless things.
Rather his music teach him lessons and have meaning while we can still effect his choices in music.
@@danieldomeisen2632 I mean any person anywhere anytime can show him a kind of music. Filtering the world is impossible. But I get it just don't stick him in a bubble. It will 100% get poped eventually.Much love though, crazy out here.
Way to go mom and dad
This is Tom MacDonald! This is a window into who Tom is, I love it. You built the foundation to your family, you weren't given a house and a life. You built it and proved it! Fantastic song man, you've inspired me to keep going. Hog
Man I was about to head out the door to the job I have worked for 13 months now. Not a big deal? Its the first real job other than selling drugs I have ever had. I have been to prison, rehab, vacationed in hell a few times. God saw more than a hopeless junky. At my worst he was at His best and gave me a new life and a new heart. #JesusSaves. Thanks Tom.
Right on dude. Good for you. You should be proud.
Way to go. Seriously. I know how big a deal that is. I’m truly proud of you! ♥️ keep moving forward
Congratulations 🎉❤ may you continue to be blessed always in all ways x
Why you thanking tom Macdonald for lol
He does hit the core, doesn't he...

Oh my goodness Tom!! I am watching this now. This was incredible. I am a Mimi and have 3 adult kids and 2 grandbabies. I loved this video and loved how you brought your family in. At the end God bless you for all the American songs, Trump songs, political songs, you have dine.
Awesome! No hook, no chorus, no refrain... just fire all the way through! A greedy man could have made 3 or 4 songs out of this, but Tom did the right thing and made an epic opus of power, love to his family and his truth. This is going in my "Listen at least weekly" playlist!
you are 1 of 1 that has a playlist like that.
@@brandoncotten-r8oI think not.I do it every day too I listen to Tom's music every single day of the week.He speaks truth.
That wasn't a song, that was an experience. An 8 minute song and it stayed interesting the entire time. Incredible, especially in this day and age where bite size content is very popular. Tom killed this.
but its opposite day...
He definitely did
Agreed. I couldn't find the word, but yes... It was an awesome experience.
What I love about Tom is that he rose out of the ashes of his past like a phoenix. No one is perfect. We all mess up and make mistakes. Learning from them and leaving them behind is the greatest gift anyone can give themselves. I'm sure Tom's parents and family are SO proud of him and are his #1 fans and support team! I can imagine them sitting around a table discussing all the darkness this world has fallen into and how corrupt and wicked it truly is. Inspiration can come from so many places! Thank you Tom for taking such good care of your parents. You are a remarkable and talented man! May God continue to bless you and keep you on the path to victory. 👍😇

I just saw this video for the first time on the Cartier fam podcast. I am average Caucasian woman going on 60 yrs old and I am loving this beat, the words and this rapper. I love his transparency. I love that he’s real. I’m forwarding this video to everyone I know, especially my kids who the “woke” Gen A-Z are trying to corrupt their minds hearts and souls telling them not listen to their hard working parents but believe LIES the Democratic Party is selling our youth! Hallelujah keep rapping! All glory to God! This is why God created this young rapper to be the way he is because he’s going to reach an audience that many never could! Btw I’m a VERY imperfect Christian, too! Much love God bless you Tom MacDonald!!!

Tom MacDonald is proof that America is still great. I'm happy that he brought himself back from the brink and has proven anything is possible with hard work and dedication. Thank you Tom.
I love how people still hate Tom for "Not being a real American". America is a nation of immigrants. Tom is one of many examples that the American dream still exists.
@@rainofkittens Most Americans aren't "real" Americans. Like you said, America is a nation of immigrants. It has nothing to do with where you are born, it has everything to do with your mindset... well, legal citizenship is also important - but I digress. My great grandfather immigrated here from Italy. My grandfather fought for this country. My grandparents struggled to afford to raise 3 children, and they grew up on the poverty line. Every Christmas was a pair of socks and slippers, maybe pajamas, no toys, while their friends had action figures and the full Barbie house or things like that. They had a lot of simple meals, were disciplined when out of line, and stayed close throughout their years looking out for each other.
My mother worked 2 to 3 jobs at a time to support me since my father was a deadbeat, but she showed me that working hard is the path even when no one else is there to help you. It was tough, wearing clothes too big for you because you had to grow into them since we couldn't afford new clothes often. The joy I felt finally getting a real pair of shoes that fit and felt comfortable brought tears to my mother's eyes and a sense of happiness myself that I never knew I was missing. Fast food like McDonalds was maybe a once-a-month treat for being good, because it was too expensive to have more than that. But we didn't give up. You can't let the pressure crumble you. Never back down, never give in. I got a job as soon as I turned 15 to help out.
I grew up with a learning disability and nervous system disorder. Doctors tried to medicate me and told me I needed their poison, that I would never be independent, but my willpower was stronger than that. I followed the example of my mother and worked hard every day of my life. My mother helped me reach the top of the wall, and I managed to pull both myself and her over it. I bought a house before I was 30, have a 6 figure job, and my mother is retired now while it is my turn to take care of her. That is the American dream. It has nothing to do with generational wealth, and nothing to do with simply existing here. It is having that mindset that you can make it if you try, and the willpower to avoid the things that try to stop you... Addiction, vices, lust, "friends" that encourage destructive behavior, and even the Government or parents telling you that you are a victim and should fear others. All of that pales in comparison to the feeling of accomplishment when you finally succeed.
Be it medical professionals, friends, or even family, anyone that tries to hold you back, tells you that you are not capable, not worthy of your goals, toss them away. Real family are those who support you, prop you up, help you, encourage you, blood ties or not. Distance yourself from all those who would do otherwise.
@@rainofkittens Agree... but it's deeper than that. America isn't really a nation at all. It's an idea that existed before the Declaration of Independence or constitution were even written. The idea was that God-given liberty, individual responsibility and unfettered opportunity produce the best possible human existence. America just enshrined and codified this idea and then planted it in the hearts of its citizens. People all over the globe are loyal to that idea, whether or not their passport says "US citizen." And sadly, many people like Tom MacDonald understand what it means to be "American" better than most Americans.
@@Bancheis aint that the truth! you the MAN!
Stolen Land, Stolen Labor, Stolen Lives.
This is what the American Dream used to look like. Pride in pulling yourself out of poverty, finding your strength and using it to better yourself and your family. Crushing your enemies with your success and flipping the bird to everyone that tries to stop you. You are an inspiration.
Amén!! 🙏🏽
Amen brother! Amen!
Absolutely! 👍🏻
🍻 damn right
Yes.. that became corporate cronyism and the people who are upset didn't pass the "Do you want to keep your soul" test as laid out by almost every culture or religion ever lol
That bit with your family was pure gold Tom
Totally agree. One of the best ways to hit evil below the belt, is display love and compassion. Everything they hate.
Indeed!
Exactly. Retired his mom, spoiled his family for raising him. That’s an example of what all of us should be doing.
Paying it back and paying it forward.
Absolute fire mode indeed.
YES..
That part took the song to another level...even without the video, the words give me chills when he gets to that part...
What a joy it would be to meet this man and his wife. They love this country and all of the people who have been suffering and struggling just to survive. God bless you Tom!
Hes like a mix between Hopsin and Joyner Lucas
Brother, that scene where you brought your family in the scene and honored them in your song was pure gold.
Agreed💯💯
totally made me tear up
Yeah, that was way cool. God Bless you all. 🙏🏻
That part brought tears to my eyes
Yeah that got me as well
Love you Tom, I'm a 62 year old lady, and I love your music!!! Texas!
36 year old single father of two. This man inspires me to do and be better for my kids than ANY modern day musician, philosopher, or preacher EVER has. Keep doing you, Tom, we got your back.
I'm gunna be damn near 50 soon. I also have 2. Full custody. Enjoy them kids they are you
I'm 38 father of 2 men not (Pussies) been on my own since I was 14 and we are also all untested,unvaccinated and unmuzzled and never wore a muzzle. I was placed on unpaid leave for politely refusing to wear muzzle. I've been follow Tom since day 1 along with Chris Webby, Tyson James, and many more. That speak facts 💯.
@@bryonwiler2482 @thegamersguild9953 LOVE TO YOU BOTH. Not easy. Will pay off, I promise
Lmao raise the bar dude
Bro get hobbies dude this shit is garbage bro no way this made you more inspired to do good than any other piece of media lmfaooo
This and Dont Look Down absolutely changed the way I view things bro I appreciate your music
I am a metalhead and just listen to metal music, but I never ever pass up a new song/video from Tom. This man spits facts that everyone needs to hear.
same!
Me too!🤘🏻
Same brotha, In Flames is one of my favs.
Facts!
Metalhead of almost forty years here. Discovered Tom last year and promptly bought every CD I could get my hands on from his site. The guy's unbelievable.
Just wow..... I said no way I'm gonna listen to the whole thing, then........ I couldn't stop listening ❤ I am a 60 year old great grandmother, and so proud to be H.O.G. FAMILY MEMBER!❤ Tom you and your family are true Americans!
❤❤❤🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️
I said the same thing to myself!❤ wow!!
DAMNED Tom ... My feelings about being a Disabled Homeless Veteran....
Creator stand with you
Blessings and Abundance
Thank you for your services
🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thank you for your service ,it's pure BS that the government doesn't look after veterans
Thank you for your service!! I was disabled right after 9/11 happened, but I am a huge supporter and part of a family that almost all served. Even my wife served in the Air Force for us in Japan for 7 years. All in all... Thanks again!!
Thank you for your service! The way that our current administration is treating our vets is unforgivable and unexplainable! Y’all deserve SO much better! God bless you and your family! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
Bless you. Thank you for your service. Stay strong.
Though ive discovered your music 2 years ago or so, is now when im addicted to it. You have an incredible talent man and you just spit facts. God Mode no doubt
I'm a drug addict myself. I've been recovering for a while now.And thank you, sir, for being an inspiration. You truly are to me. me. You're a very big one I have almost eight years so thank you sir
Congratulations! Stay focused on staying healthy! 💪
Keep it up I'm also an addict that has been clean for 20 years from meth and only a year from weed still working on alcohol this helps on my drive to keep the fight
I've been clean now for a few years, not keeping track helped me keep it out of my mind, it gets easier, and you probably will want to get high occasionally, I still do, but then I think of the negative that would come with it and get on with my day. Life sucks ass but we know it can be worse as we have lived it.
Tom I doubt you will ever see this comment but, I work at a Christian based drug rehab in CT. Your story is very similar to mine and others I work with daily. I have played some of your music for men on my floor who I know can relate. Success stories are much needed to hear because they are few and far between these days. If your ever in CT stop by and say hello to the men and women in my program. Or email some positive words of encouragement if you ever get the time. We are saving lives and your music helped me a lot. God bless you bro I been watching you for years keep up the great work.
He will see this ..... they all get read
Good man, keep fighting the good fight!
❤
Very powerful words! Congrats on overcoming your issues and helping others! Keep up your great amazing work! God bless

I feel like I just watched a 20 minute Netflix documentary episode of this mans life, and when it ended I wanted more. I then looked at the video length and it said 8:24 seconds... My goodness... This was incredible, truly.
I literally cried when your family walked out. You are the real thing, Tom. Always have been!! You just keep getting better!!! Thank you for standing up and being all that you are! You are an inspiration 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tom is proof the American Dream can still be found!
Yeah, I cried too! Just hit me in the feels, big time. God is using Tom like so many imperfect men in the Bible, for HIS perfect work! 💜⚔️✝️
I just saw this video, and it brought me to tears too. I'm genuinely happy for Tom and his whole family.
🥲 I cried also. Totally agree with your statement.
With y'all, that got me too! He's the REAL DEAL & I loved Nova doing her thing in there too!
By God’s grace I’ve been sober 35 years and this is how I feel about it. Great song! Great message! Great truth in a false world!
Congrats on sobriety! You are winning a battle that a lot of people don’t and I’ve seen it
Congratulations on 35 yes H.O.G. 4 life!! Friend of bob🎉
I'm sober for only 4 1/2 years but I relate so much !
Like you don't like him he is who he is leave him alone he speaks for the masses
Wow I've listened to a lot of Christians give their testimony. But this will be the first,
For music industry . Tom you should be very proud of what you've done through Christ and for your family!! I think that's every boy's dream to help their parents like you've done. Keep the faith in God, he will never leave you.
tom is canadian
@@puppysupriseAnd more of an American Patriot than most Americans
@@puppysuprise Still a proud American Christian.
wth are you talking about, where does he say he's a Christian?
Tom and Nova thank you so much! I listened in 2020 and still do. Fighting hard with alchohol addiction but making progress. Always stay your authentic self😊much love and God bless
Omg!!! I'm in tears!!!! There is NO ONE on Earth who can rap with such TRUTH, no fluff, and raw emotion like you Tom!! This song is Everything!!!! I'm SO grateful you never gave up!!! Your entire family are all gems!!! Biggest hugs from Napa ❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah I never caught a hard-ass rap song to put me in tears. But I felt every bit of that song. Taking care of his family? Badass
He’s a great story teller
Dax I'd say has some pretty powerful stuff to fyi.
They're both phenomenal artists imo.
Chris Webby is the real goat.
Tom's life stories in song?!??? Wow you are just a genius 🔥🔥🔥
Tom I’m a 54 yr old lady. I came across you on my feed. Praise God He’s changed you! I love that you spend time with your family, and that you were selfless in helping them. Many rich people do not care about the example that they set for others. Thank you for being different. I’m going to pray for you still, and if you read this Tom, can you say one for me?
can i get ur number, i love tom mcodnald too mb we could hang out sometime
Ditto! ❤
Amen and God bless
His parents and sister bent over backwards for him in his darkest days. They never abandoned him and he came back to repay the favor. God bless Tom and his family. I wish nothing but the best for Tom, Nova, his sister and parents. Also, blessings to Jared, Tom's brother-in-law and everyone else who has a hand in his art. HOG for life!
Made me have tears of joy and celebration for you and your family....GOD'S CONTINUED BLESSINGS Tom🙏🙏🫂
Thanks for adopting our country Tom. I would take one of you over a million Americans that don’t realize they are the most pampered humans ever to live. God bless you. Give all the glory to Christ.

Thor is as real as jesus and you can't prove otherwise, so why should anyone give a shit about your so called "god"?!

Your son did a GREAT job, but lets not dwindle off the path here and look at what your SON did....it truly blows my mind how little credit people give themselves or their loved ones when they come off a drug or get clean....crazy how people just give thanks to "the lord/god" but have NO faith in their fellow humans....SAD world we live in.
@@TheMastaPlan I have 34yrs clean myself, I know God saved me from addiction, depression, PTSD. I hope you find HIM.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
As a Christian myself, Tom, the Word of God says that we have "ALL FALLEN SHORT OF HIS GLORY." Keep trusting Him...and remember that if they hated Jesus, then they'll most certainly hate you, too! May God bless you...and I pray that we will be hearing wedding bells soon. You and Nova make a great team! Blessings from this retired Army Veteran!!! We thank you for your support!!!
Amen. Nobody is a “perfect Christian”, and all need to accept and receive Jesus' crucifixion as the payment for their sins. To all reading this, God bless you and trust in Him in all you do.
Disabled army veteran here too. And yes please, wedding bells soon for these two perfect love birds. Tom and Nova are mind blowing and so important over these last few years. Honestly, my wife and I just had a daughter and we named her Novaly, Nova for short.... that's to you Mr Tom and Ms Nova... tie the knot and make her an honest woman. And have kids. Please don't let the world corrupt you two. Have kids. Continue on your genetics. All of your families lived through famine, war, starvation, and time /to have you both. Honor them and yourselves by continuing your lineage. Have children together, get married. Keep making music, and making yourselves proud. We love you guys, and pray for the best. We love the rest of you all too. God bless..........
You're not a Christian
Thank you both for your service. Not enough ppl say that anymore....
Post pictures of that wedding when it happens - we all want to be there.
I am a 72 year old Christian woman, and I applaud your message🇺🇸
Great to hear “TRUTH”, and overcoming despair, drugs, alcohol, hate, condemnation, with obvious victory!
@pegheacock6611 soon to be 60 but agree with you 💯! I overcame a horrible addiction to pain medication but Tom just reading as much as I can find about this young man God has him here for a reason. Like I said in another comment hold on to your Faith Tom.
If you are a Christian you should not be applauding this. Yes, it is good to overcome sin. But his message is one of pride and arrogance. Such is not from wisdom, God will destroy all pride. As a Christian Tom's music bears some truth to it but his theatrics are still demonic in appearance and nothing he sings is in the form of praise for The Father Almighty. He claims himself to be a goat (greatest of all time) but in Christian terms goats are on the left of Lord Christ and they will all perish. Those on the right of Lord Christ are all lambs, not goats. I think there is a good reason for this "interesting" play on words.
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty sprite before a fall.

Yes he is❤❤❤
A man takes care of his families needs. Tom is a real man!!!
Yes, when he can. No shame there trying, and failing. You don't have to despair.
It's really easy in fact. From hearing people talk about this, I'm amazed. I quit in 3 months. Alcoholic for 25+ years, no worries, not a feat.
Rather easy if you eat enough. Have a big breakfast, a nice midday meal, and get to bed early enough that you won't ever want to do anything else .Read a book and listen to music.
You get up at 5, have a good breakfast, and the world is your oyster! I swear it will do you good. You may also meet someone who's up to your standards, which will be better than the trollops you undoubtedly frequent otherwise.
Have fun, my dear!
Whatever detour he took, his parents were obviously good people who loved their kids and that made an impression on who he is. Dad's keep showing up and taking care of things your sons see it.
@@ahoechst7637where were they when he was down and out tho?
Thank you sir 🙏. Blessings brethren. You inspire me as well. I'm the same, ditto . Help me sir. Proud of you.
Thank you so much for everything. A year ago I was sitting on my back steps, high on a multiple day binge, crying and watching the video for your song "Sober" over and over again. I called a friend of mine, him and his wife are both in recovery. I finally bit the bullet and started going to meetings. I'm working out, fasting, changing how I eat, etc. My life keeps changing. I'm about to celebrate my first year clean and I'm so fucking pumped about pushing myself even further this next year. You really do change people's lives!

Amen n blessings on a new journey to freedom n love! God's speed.

I had a hip hop label called "Lethal Beat Records" back in the 80's. We talked internally about gangster rap and freedom of speech. We had Bootsy Colins with us on Ground Zero's album. Tom Macdonald is the artist we were looking for but he wasn't even born yet. Tom showed up just when we needed him. History will write that Tom was way ahead of everyone else in calling like it is.

Come your AUSTRALIA
Legendary track Tom.
Since everyone seems to be dropping their story and age in the comments, here goes: I'm 31, and your journey reminds me of elements of my own. At 19 I left my parents on bad terms, lived with "friends" and got mixed up in a world of drugs and crime, living in trailer trash, sleeping on the floor or the couch. 4 years of abusing pills/powders, 5 years of drinking every weekend, 10 years of smoking cigarettes and 10 years of smoking weed.
I quit pills/powders in 2014.
Quit abusing alcohol in 2015 (drink once a year now).
Walked away from the old crew in 2016, and reconnected with my family who has been so good to me. I don't deserve them. In 2017 found a gift from God in the form of a new friend group that is sober, loves God, and cares about each other. Restarted my walk with God.
Quit tobacco in 2020.
Quit weed in 2021.
Got a steady job in 2022, which I'm still at now and have great coworkers.
Been improving my art, my physical health, my faith, and more. God saves, follow Him. You have to take that step.
Kudos for all the rest . . . Why drink at all?
@@suzannesund4595 1. I was never addicted, genuinely. Despite a family history of alcoholism and my addictive nature to all the aforementioned things, alcohol never had its hooks in me, and I never really cared for it. 2. I've gone nearly half a decade now with easily committing to the once/twice a year thing, so I know I'm not addicted. My birthday and sometimes a random point in the year where I'd like to have a mixed drink while watching a movie alone or something. Very much a classy "me-time" thing now opposed to the prior life of getting wasted with people I didn't want to be around. I rarely get drunk, too, we're talking like 1-2 small mixed drinks sipped during a movie, once or twice a year.
If I feel stressed or depressed and find myself thinking about using one of my yearly drinks for it, I stop myself every time and do something else, so as not to let myself use it as a crutch. It's an odd and rare situation, but it really does work well for me. I have the same bottle of Suntory whiskey nearly full sitting in the pantry from my birthday last September lol. I often forget it even exists.
God isn't real, you did all that, take the credit. Good job bruv.
God is real, good job man
This is amazing story. Very inspirational
Tom is the little voice in our head that we all need. Respect bro, eternal love.
I wish more people would let the little voice out like Tom does #HOG
Yup, my kids and I quote him in conversations all the time. I actually turn his music up all the way to get them out of bed in the morning, so everyone is in a good mood. Then I have it ready in the car when I pick them up from school. We are switching to homeschooling and I bought his book of poetry to go line by line with them, because all of the messages matter. That would probably freak him out 😅 but he's a genius worth studying, so 💯
Let's have some fun.
Song is called "GOD MODE" and Tom surely does perform this tune well throughout it's entirely, but what parts make you "feel" when you got the "God Mode" in your own heart?
For me - 5:06 - 5:40. I am a struggling artist myself (woodworking) and I know exactly what he is expressing and working through. Hardcore material here. I'm not the proof yet, but I'm always analyzing and regrouping my efforts to make my dream become a reality.
Thank you Tom for the music that helps me to push myself forward when I fail.
I’m a Red Blooded American. A Patriot to the Bone. Also, Im a 59 year old Disabled Veteran. I grew up on the streets of L.A. My life is full of scars.

I dont know if this has any meaning to you. I am neither an american or able to put myself in your shoes.

Tom keep dropping the hits and yes fuck the government its a dam joke
Thanks for my freedom, sir! Welcome home and God bless you!
I will say this again and again finally a artist who sings about more than guns booze and drugs original and speaks what he feels.im 50 years old with an eight year old daughter and I let her listen to Tom because he's real and doesn't disrespect woman .I hope he keeps doing this for years.
Go open up a crate. Real hip hop is underground
When Tom brought his family out, I choked up. Powerful stuff, Tom. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR ALL OF US!
Yep😢
Brought a tear to my eye when his family walked out.
@@Grey_Hybrid dude! Yes! I didn't wanna say it, but shiiiiiiiiid. That was powerful.
A tear, dude I'm sitting here wiping an ocean away from my face
The comments have me emotional. I now have 18 months clean and sober. I changed my life and rocked my recovery!
I am a 56y/o US Army veteran, and in todays world it is good to see a man who loves his (adopted) Country, cares about his family and takes care of them, and constantly speaks truth that "81 million" voters cannot comprehend.
@StevieNockman Shut up
I will never believe we have 81,000,000 people in the US that are that ignorant to vote for a senile corpse!
Thank you for your service.
@StevieNockman It's a 100 bucks for a 4k phone camera. That's a good start. Get a gimble and you're set. Good luck.
@@RobertFairweatherLuvMachine You know you're replying to a bot/ one of the most overused comments in UA-cam history?
Tom and Nova Much Love and Respect. I'm a 52 And Your music has inspired Me. My Mom is 70 and Loves your Music. Your a True American Patriot.
He's a Canadian... lol
@vandy3427 and still wants to be and acts more American than some of it's own citizens
@@Dmrb21what does it mean to “act american”, exactly?
Sounds about right for his fan base. Such a goofy ass “rapper”
As a former heroin addict that dragged myself out of that life to keep custody of my new baby daughter, clean for 13 years now, I love your music. It inspires me that anyone can do anything if they want it bad enough. My brother is also a veteran and did 3 tours. It's nice to have someone give a shit about those men and women. Thank you for all you do and all you stand for! Fuck the copycats because you can't copy authentic genius. ❤
13 years clean here also man!
Warm regards from Sweden 🇸🇪
@marabellmar6510 @Anders_Johansson - Congradulations . I've never had the trouble with addiction. I did watch it kill two people I cared deeply about. Amazing work for 13 years in recovery. I know it was hella hard. I am glad you both are still here bumping it to @hangovergangoffical . May your success beyond addiction inspire others to reach for the help they need to move beyond their demons to sobriety . God Bless. Keep on living life; with all its messy parts. You k never know who you'll inspire to move beyond their addictions. 💙
#HOGFAM4EVER ❤ , much love to you and family
Genuinely never thought this was possible for an independent artist to make the music they want and be successful. Goes against everything I know to be true about the music industry. Can’t put into words how proud and how thankful I am that you exist. Truly inspiring and I am forever grateful for it.
All I have is Christ. Paraplegic at 18, many people thought that i would suffer in life because sonething bad permanently damaged me but all i can say is thank you Lord you have blessed me through it all.Married 13 years to a loving husband with three daughters, what more could i ask for?The Lord can use anyone(especially the broken ones) to spread his truth of salvation and hope.
thats awesome praise the Lord
Awesome! God is so good! ♥️🙏🏼🇺🇲
Bravo beckylyn3, MS survivor/Fighter myself since 5-5-2001 ;-)
Amen Sister! I continually praise God from taking this broken vessel and making me whole again. In His eyes. God Bless!
Great stuff! Looking good!
