I Don't Care Lyrics

I Don't Care - Tom MacDonald

...

Yeah

Honestly, I'm sick of death and hearing the complains

Everybody wants to tell me how I've changed

I think somehow I'm responsible for bodies filling graves

If I made the songs they wanted, were they fans I could have saved?

Man, that's a lotta weight

Wait, I thought it would be great to entertain

And now I understand why mumble rappers say the things they say

They don't want any obligation to the fanbase they create

I guess my morals won't allow me to be famous if it's fake

I barely made it, I was livin' in the ghetto always prayin'

My potential wouldn't go to waste before I could escape it

I just had a mental breakdown

Rent was due, I couldn't pay it

Killing roaches, scraping guts off all the plates and being patient, ay

Livin' in the hood could have got me kill

Kitchen full of rats, stomach never fill

They cut off the lights, couldn't pay the bills

I was always sick, couldn't buy the pills

Girlfriend almost left me

We were broken, we were desperate

Right before it got too heavy

I went viral, off a record, ay

Never signed the deal, I did it on my own

I made all the beats, I write every song

Did not all believe I did it all alone

Told me I was weak I show 'em I was strong

Never should have bet against me

Thought my anxiety was gonna rack me

Thought my depression will get to my head for a second and leave

But they never left me

Everybody says I've changed up, I've changed up

'Cause I had nothing then I came up, came up

Now I'm someone they are afraid of, afraid of

So say some, say some, woah

Ay, yo, everything you say bro

I don't care, no, I don't care, bro

Fame won't ever make me change so

I don't care, no, I don't care, no

Honestly, it's bothered me since I've become this famous

People comment like I don't see what they're saying

I get death threats every day and so my family call me garbage, call me racist

Try to tell my therapist that I'm afraid, I can't explain it, uh

Back up, don't touch me, I'm anxious

All of this money I'm banking

Don't make me happy, I can't win

Don't get me wrong, no, I'm thankful

Wanted to catch and inhabit

Pressure form standards established

Amplified anger and sadness

Can't deny that it did damage

Ay, take the box off me

Take off all the chains

Take the braids out of my hair, laser the tattoos off my face

Stop comparing me to Hopsin, Token, NF, and Em

I think they're great, but so am I and I don't wanna be them

And I never change, but I'm not the same

I am not the person that I once was

Alcoholic, I was calling mama, always try to borrow 50 bucks, uh, ay

I put my parents in debt

I even embarrassed my friends

I didn't care if I die, I was honestly hopeful that I wouldn't' wake up again

But I'm back now

Knock me down to that nap and now I stand proud

Last round, believe me I'm ready to strap until they back down

Doctor give me pills, told me I was sad

Never took 'em though, throw 'em into trash

Made a couple mil', money doesn't last

Try to smile a bit, livin' in the past

Everybody says I've changed up, I've changed up

'Cause I had nothing then I came up, came up

Now I'm someone they are afraid of, afraid of

So say some, say some, woah

Ay, yo, everything you say bro

I don't care, no, I don't care, bro

Fame won't ever make me change so

I don't care, no, I don't care, no

See this Gucci? I bought it

I'm not sell-out, homie, stop it

This is symbol of the work I did that's finally acknowledged

This is robbing corner stores while getting soda and some chocolate

This is bullied all my life by kids at school, I ain't forgot it

This is profit that I got from sacrificing food and water

This is dollars I had after finally paying back my father

This is failing grades and skipping class and dropping out of college

You can't stop me, that's your problem

I will get it if I want it (Woah)

Stop telling me that I switched sides

My life changed, I'm a different guy

My mama proud, my girl's stoked

My sister happy I didn't die

They're mad, instead of saying "Tom, I wish you the best"

Of course I changed, I had to go and buy a bulletproof vest

'Cause I'ma stressed, ya

I'm a mess, ya

I need rest, ya

Wastin' energy on enemies I never met, ya

I need meds, ya

I need bed, ya

What the heck?

I should send a text to see if I still have some friends, ya

Now that I'm healthy, and nobody help me

I wanna get every penny, independent

I'm a menace, I'ma wreck it

All my records got a message, I'ma spread it

And I'm still the person my mama nurtured

To become this version, so shoutout mom

I don't ever sleep, every night is long

Everything is on me, Tom

Everybody says I've changed up, I've changed up

'Cause I had nothing then I came up, came up

Now I'm someone they are afraid of, afraid of

So say some, say some, woah

Ay, yo, everything you say bro

I don't care, no, I don't care, bro

Fame won't ever make me change so

I don't care, no, I don't care, no
