What up, y′all? My name's Tom, little while back was a alcoholic
Had a mental breakdown like a year ago, came close to put me in a coffin
Damn, after the hooker I loved, after I did all the drugsAfter I finally got fired for showing up late to the job hella 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 stabbed 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 ′til 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 ′til 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, yeah
I′m finally someone that I know again
I started climbing out the hole I'm in
Fighting demons and 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
I have my scars, I'll always remember
When I lost it all and never surrendered
What up y'all? My name′s MadChild, I′ve been off the Xanies for a while now
I was waking up feeling suicidal, but I think I'm finally starting to smile now
Man, I lived a hell of a life, I′ve been to hell and back twice
Lost ten million dollars, three different addictions, don't tell me ′bout paying the price
From penthouses with top models, hanging with strippers we'd pop bottles
To anxious and hiding alone in my room from the world, I was pissing in pop bottles
From chart-topping and being a role model, to flop records and lost follows
When I cop product, got a month′s worth; when I left the spot, cops followed
If you saw a photo, it was only face 'cause I was 85 pounds overweight
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 fucking 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 climbing out the hole I′m in
Fighting demons and 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
I have my scars, I′ll always remember
When I lost it all and never surrendered
When you fall down and the world's closing 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
I have my scars, I'll always remember
When I lost it all and never surrendered
