Tom MacDonald - I Don’t Care lyrics

Honestly, I'm sick to death
Of hearing the complaints
Everybody wants to tell me how I've changed
I think somehow I'm responsible for
Bodies fillin' graves
If I made the songs they wanted, were they
Fans I could've saved? Man
That's a lot of 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
Killin' roaches, scrapin' guts off all
The plates and bein' patient, ayy
Livin' in the hood could've got me killed
Kitchen full of rats, stomach never filled
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 broke and we were desperate
Right before it got too heavy
I went viral off a record, ayy
Never signed a deal, I did it on my own
I made all the beats, I write every song
They did not believe I'd knew it all along
Told me I was weak I showed 'em I was strong
Never should've bet against me
Thought my anxiety was gonna wreck me
Thought my depression would get in my
Head for a second and leave
But it never left me

Everybody says I changed up, changed up
'Cause I had nothin', then I came up, came up
Now I'm someone they're afraid of, afraid of
So, say some, say some, whoa
Ayy, 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 sayin'
I get death threats every day, insult
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 bankin'
Don't make me happy, I can't win
Don't get it wrong, no, I'm thankful
Wanted attention, it happened
Pressure from standards established
Amplified anger and sadness
Can't deny that it did damage
Ayy, take the bucks I made
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'm not the person that I was once
Alcoholic, always callin' mama, always try
To borrow 50 bucks, uh, ayy
I put my parents in debt
I have embarrassed my friends
I didn't care if I died
I was honestly hopeful that I
Wouldn't wake up again
But I'm back now, knock me down to that mat
But now I stand proud
Last round, believe me
I'm ready to scrap until they back down
Doctor gave me pills, told me I was sad
Never took 'em though, threw 'em in the trash
Made a couple mil', money doesn't last
Tryna smile a bit, livin' in the past

Everybody says I changed up, I changed up
'Cause I had nothing then I came up, came up
Now I'm someone they're afraid of, afraid of
So say some, say some, woah
Ayy, 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? yeah, I bought it
I'm no sell out homie, stop it
This is symbol of the work
I did that's finally acknowledged
This is robbed at 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
Stop tellin' me that I switched
Sides, my life changed, i'm a different guy
My mama proud, my girl stoked
My sister happy I didn't die
They're mad instead of sayin', "Tom
I wish you the best" of course, I changed
I had to go and buy a bulletproof vest
'Cause I've been 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 helped 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 shout out, Mom
I don't ever sleep, every night is long
Everything is on me, Tom

Everybody says I changed up, I changed up
'Cause I had nothing then I came up, came up
Now I'm someone they're afraid of, afraid of
So say some, say some, woah
Ayy, 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
