I can't get over this song. As a heavy smack user, this song is what keeps me going on those sleepless nights. Its why Im still here right now talking about this and I am greatful for that

[@SCJMclips]

First time I head this song I cried very deeply, I was homeless not to long after my divorce and in the soup line at the Las Vegas mission battling opioid addiction.... I broke down in the line and wept bitterly. First time I didn't feel alone in my pill addiction, that someone else understood and reached out threw music....

[@zafiruzoma6234]

"We live on the cusp of death thinking that it won't be us." "Thinking that I would never do that and growing up nobody ever does." That's some real shit right there.

[@kaaarrrlll1019]

"the fact of it is most people that rap like this, talking about some sh** they haven't lived"....

[@directmotions6536]

"Swore I was goin' to be someone, and growing up everyone always does, we sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz" That's really deep. Makes me think. 😞

When ever I play this song my mum always says turn that rapping crap off, I told her to listen to the words. She has fallen in love with Macklemore

[@clemensthauer2755]

he has a way of touching your soul

[@jaykay4288]

This song gives me chills...I listen to it...when I sometimes fall off my path. Macklemore isnt just a rapper. He is like a speaker, a friend that you can listen to...especially when no one else is there to help. Macklemore means a lot to me.

[@devonbiddix2157]

I hope you're ok.

[@mrcreamyful]

Holy. Shit. This is literally the best song I've ever heard. Halfway through it just struck a chord and it made me realize the slope I've been descending. Really Macklemore, I honestly believe you saved my life today. You made me want to be the person I once was. Thank you

[@jordanmeier5883]

How has the last 9 years been?

[@Geographyfan123]

@@jordanmeier5883 sup bro! I’d imagine up and downs… been hitting it for several decades. Like I say, Ups and downs… but this tune specifically changed my outlook on life. I still have substance abuse issues, but now I have kids. I Work as hard to be the best dad I can and life is better than it ever has been. Life is fkin hard, to anyone reading this, we all hit jt for different reasons , but one day, Sooner or later, you’ll find your OG self and be a happy person. Macklemore deserves alot of the credit 😉

as a little sister of an addict that I'm suprised hasnt already died from the abuse. this song makes me think that there is still hope in his life even thought he has nothing. I cry every time I listen to this waiting for the call that he's od on the streets somewhere with his friends and I have no idea what else to do or think except for nothing

[@theskrunkliestofskrunkles2653]

Has he listened to the song? If he hasn't, he needs to. My sister died of overdosing 2 yrs ago. When I was 9 or 8 I'm 10 right now. I wasn't really close to her so....

[@rhib7284]

+angela luttrell Yeah he showed me this song. I'm sorry about your sister. my brother is on meth for a while now. me and him were very close though. he just turned twenty last week and I haven't seen him for two years

[@lindsaybaby6381]

im in the same boat! my brothers been an addict his whole life. im always here if you need to talk.

[@littlesister1211]

Crazy Spanda as a recovering addict I'll tell you that the only thing that helped me get clean was my desire to get my relationships with my siblings back. I missed them more than my own life. my big brother and I have our relationship back, sadly my little sisters have learned by example to use my short addiction as the family scape goat, and I can't have that kind of negativity in my life at the moment. just don't give up on your sibling, your faith in them may be the only thing keeping them holding on. don't love them to death, just be ready to move forward with them and not rub their face in their mistakes when they do try moving forward. 💕I'll always have hope for the addict who still suffers💕 good luck

[@cynthiamay9985]

i love this song. at my lowest, at my heaviest using i weighed less then a 5 year old child and i was oding at least once a month. and i would always get the same paramedics. the fourth time the paramedic actually helped me. he gave me the advice of a life time. i used for a month after i got out but i did sober up. and it really isnt dope moving back in with your parents after drugs and abusive relationship. that being said ive been sober for 5 years coming up this july. my message to anyone out there struggling is that, i know its hard. but you can do it. and even though it might not seem like it your parents or your family would be very heartbroken if they lost you to a drug over dose.

[@thiccieredd9606]

That is amazing you still sober?

[@GingerSnapps_55]

I pray you're still going strong

[@GavySunner]

I get that so much. Overdosed 21 times total because I just couldn’t stop… and would end up with the same nurses/EMTs/Dr.. hope you’re still sober buddy 💙🙏

[@brandonjames4683]

This song is a classic piece of music. He speaks nothing but the truth. We all have struggles in our lives they may be different but we all still struggle with something. Some big things and some minor things. If we come together as one and help each other out instead of being racist and only caring about yourself. If you help others you are the one who will be helped with your struggles and we just keep the chain moving. We aren't perfect by any means but we can see each other as they are perfect in their own ways. It's really not that hard to do. Better than being negative and in your own bubble because something didn't go your way instead of wiping them tears away and then helping someone else with a smile on your face and then wake up tomorrow to a new day and make it better than yesterday's. Good and bad energy is contagious so always keep good energy no matter what, that's how you stay strong minded with no worries in the world. Peace&Love yall. And goodnight!

[@JBVibri]

It basically is the original "Otherside" but done with a modern rap sensibility. That's actually pretty cool, and it's done differently enough to give us a fairly unique modern rap song. Again, well done, Macklemore.

[@hungergamesfan1231]

I struggled really bad with meth addiction but by some miracle I have 70 days clean today. This song hits home

[@olli5585]

My mom's a recovering alcoholic. I thank God everyday she went to treatment and got help..... she would have taken her own life had she not gotten sober:/

[@jada7643]

You're lucky that your mom got help..my mom unfortunately wasn't one of the lucky ones and lost her life 6 years ago. Tell your mom you love her everyday because you never know when she'll be gone

[@shaunmarsh9845]

J. R. sorry to hear that

[@sunflowersandayellowrose1063]

My biological mother walked out of my life because of her alcoholism...I haven't talked to since I was 9 (and I'm 19 now) she refuses to pay child support for those past 10 years and I found out I had a 1 1/2 year old half sister when I was 15 from Facebook. All I can hope for is that she gets help if only for her newest child because she was really irresponsible with my older sibling and I when we were growing up...I hope my half sister is treated better....but I have a great dad and a step mom who's basically my real mom, but my half sister won't have that

[@blitz3794]

I never really liked macklemores music, but I'm going through a dxm addiction right now and this song reminds me to stay strong and even if you don't like the artist at least look at the lyrics

[@m.mccaskey5197]

[@cbaustin2534]

Im so gkad Macklemore is getting so much attention. He is and amazing rapper and has deep meaning songs. As Eminem has told us, his LAST album will be dropping. As one legend, who no one will ever live up to retires, anither amazing, heart stopping rapper is coming in to thr scene. ♥

[@alecilarkins3838]

thats true, rappers dont know the effective they have on kids and how much the kids look up to them nowadays and they dont know whats right and wrong and they take after the rappers so they think doing drugs is a good thing. macklemore is a great rapper and a good inspiration and a good role model for kids out there. i like macklemore and how he can rap without talking about drugs and alcohol.

[@arelyrodriguez8935]

Yeah so true. I don't know why I like rap so much, but I do and I'm pretty sure because its the most true and I and others can relate to it easily. I have looked up to Eminem since I was kid and is true most rappers don't realize the effect they have on kids but some do, and mackelmore, Eminem, and MGK do, that's why I listen to them so much:)

[@logmister10]

Yeah, during Eminem's whole drug thing, and how he got through it, is pretty inspirational as well.

[@arelyrodriguez8935]

It is very inspirational and made me like Eminem even more especially how he pushed through it and rapped about it in Not afraid

PEACE LOVE N HAPPINESS my girl

[@sarahanderson3847]

This sing hits home for me I began taking pills when I was 13, ironically oxy and dxm(which is cold medicine) and I became addicted to both for 6 years. I lost myself. The cold medicine cause a permanent dissociative personality disorder to where sometimes it's hard for to feel like myself or to actually feel my emotions which I guess in the beginning was the point since I took them to deal with the fact that I was sexually molested when I was 13 by my best friends parents and raped when thanksgiving when I was 18. All they did was bottle the feeling up inside until I od'd when I was 19. I almost died and all I could think was how I couldn't wait to get out of the hospital to get more pills. That is the moment that I realised how much help I needed so I called my mom. Today I am 10 months clean and I cannot even explain to you I feels to finally have my own mind and body back after over 6 years. I have a family that understands Me, friends that help Me, and someone I love who knows all my faults and accepts them as they are. This song keeps my going. It reminds me of the danger that going back causes. Cause I almost died in that hospital and I didn't care.

[@dadeking5472]

Sarah Anderson oxy and dxm were my docs too. I can relate so much to what you said about the dissociation with your self. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and be so confused about my mind and body. It didn’t feel like I was “me.” Been clean off the oxy for 105 days and the dxm for a good 4-5 years. I literally had to move across the country to get away from the pull of the Oxys and my dealer. Opiates are strong but This song is powerful. I think we all need to take a hard look at our selves sometime.

[@sarahanderson3847]

For me it's been 3 years. I'm glad I did I got clean when I did cause o have a beautiful son now who I love with all my heart. I hope that your journey getting clean is going okay and I can tell you that the hard part is over. Hold on to what keeps you going for me it was my loved ones. I didnt want to die and leave them because of my addiction. I can say that this song is extremely powerful in the fact that it makes you look at yourself and what you are doing to yourself and the ones around you. I am very happy that you are getting clean and I may not know you but I believe in you! Sorry for the rant lol

[@dadeking5472]

@@sarahanderson3847 Thanks for your response. I've been through the "program" and relapse/recovery before. I think it really took me moving across the country away from my old connections and to a new city that I love to get out of my bad habits. The old "people and places" mantra really holds true for me. The recovery community is an amazing one and its cool to see all the people that are getting their lives back!

+Clarissa Edwards He's not racist or homophobic. Some of his music is like a stand-up act: just jokes and shit, he doesn't actually mean what he says. How do I know? He's said so himself

[@Basjejo]

+Clarissa Edwards And like others have explained, Eminem has a loooong ass career and made tons of different music in differnt styles, about different topics. Listen to Guts over fear.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here. Never did drugs, never had any addictions or anything. I can listen and can definitely sense how it hits home for people who have though. Such a strong message. But with that said, I've read through the comments and it's amazing how many people this song has touched and has helped them get sober. I hope everyone is still sober and living their best life. You are loved and you are strong. Just take everything a day at a time.

He tells powerful inspirational stories with his songs. Without a doubt, this song has saved at least one person from doing drugs. He cares, he doesn't just make a song, he makes a story, he creates feelings. This is music.

[@markobarrows]

Mack def got inspired by Eminems style. Sure you could call it a straight rip-off, but then when you look at the subtleties and the intelligence of the lyric, he is coming as the next gen. No I m not a psychophant, just like good tunes.

[@CharlieEst1981]

Huh? Ohhh I see cause he's a white rapper cause I'm sure we would see Shady rap a song against syrup and that also speaks against marijuana.

[@aidanself3374]

Did eminem ever steal a tune from an actual GOOD Band.. Don't think so Just BTW Red hot chili peppers made "otherside" first

[@mr.halomanandfriends1080]

Aidan Self EXCUSE ME YES HE DID but it wasn't stolen... for Sing For The Moment he used an Aerosmith tune called Dream On

[@Ryan8890]

thats whack man this is the second post ive read of yours dissing on macklemore. Bottom line is hes making good music regardless of where its from and intentional or not youre spreading negativity and hate through your messages. Try smoking a blunt and finding a little love and kindness within yourself.

[@ajafendt7748]

markobarrows He used a staple fro. Rhcp because they were famous for under the bridge and other side is a rhcu song saying goodbye to the ones who lost that fight. Very fitting. He isn't eminem style rip off just says it as the guy says it. He got into it thinking it's was made them cool. That time Shady was on the same thing selling. He's Eminems demographic. 10 years younger. Very Seattle based and follow up history of the place. His music reflexes that. Fyi Mackelmore has released stupid things to "the penis song* for one

This song is... surprisingly decent. I'm not one for rap, but Macklemore tends to surprise me. I'll admit, the beat and timing of the rap felt off, but the lyrics are good and ties in very well with the music and the song title. Not bad, Macklemore, not bloody bad.

[@iridescent9254]

The Vib Crib the beat actually is feom red hot chili peppers

[@sheridaktle]

This song is a true inspiration and a lyrical realization that .. there is so much more to life, to take it in and it is much more enjoable when youre sober. it teaches us to understand what can happen when you let something like drugs take over who you are. just LIVE ON - AND BE YOURSELF!

Still listening that wondeful song in june 2016, still a huge message of what people can live

[@DaNgErBrah]

If you want to get technical opium is a herb, i't's considered a drug because it has psychoactive properties, scopolamine is also a herb, tobacco and so on. Yes there is an increase of dopamine but through a very different mechanism in the brain. It's more comparable to eating food or a good workout. Yes people get addicted to things like this but the amounts of endorphins and all the other 'feel good' neurotransmitters you speak of that are released when consuming cannabis are more towards what your body will 'allow' per-say. Resulting in a more natural effect to your body physically, besides it's huge list of medicinal benefits. Sorry I thought this was common knowledge.

[@heartworth99]

None of that mumbo jumbo matters if you are an addict.

[@ydokgaming4957]

+Mike Gosnell I might only be eleven but alcohol has destroyed my family I know that much. Taken all our money, broke the relationship between my father and mother, my dad quit 2 years ago because he was afraid he would hurt his family. My mom hasn't. She always smoking, and drinks at least every other week. Your doing the right thing by trying to quit. It might not still be too late for you. My family is done. Right now I'm the only sane one in my house. My dad and sister fight almost daily. Mom hardly pays attention to her own kids. I'm the only thing holding my family together and because of that, because I've tried so hard to keep them from ripping each other's head off. That I am always the prime target for bullying from my sister and cousins. Ever since the day I was born I was hit and made fun of by my older siblings. The emotional onslaught that I had to endure has now rendered me emotionally and mentally defeated. My story may be a sad one, but. I hope you can use it well.😔

Well said WhoaLayla! I agree 500% with you.Only those of us who have really struggled with addiction can really appreciate where he's coming from.He's a heor to me for just writing this,and if it only saves one young person from the pain and ruin drugs bring,well its soo worth it.

[@HeartJoseline]

Tis is a ft. with the hot chili peppers apparently the user didn't add that on this isn't the original beat!

[@doctorlexicon]

He had contacted them before using the name and the audio. They gave him the rights to audio and the name. He didn't exactly copy their song because they gave him the right to use the stuff from their original song.

I'll always know the beat of RHCP :)

[@deepooh1979]

Keep ur head up mrcreamyful! The first step is admitting you have an issue.I stuggled almost 20yrs with opiate(narcotic pain meds)addiction.It ruined my young adulthood,drove me to commit a few felonies,and almost lose my life.I've been clean since Sept.5,2007.And it kills me to see my 15 yr old son heading down that same dangerous road as us.I post this song to his facebook wall daily in hopes it touches him like it did you.Best of luck!!

[@lucylou9819]

NO. STAHP. DONT. DONT STEAL THE CHILI PEPPERS SONG. STAHHPPP. RHCP IS LOV RHCP IS LIF.

[@jordanwatts3519]

[@ArizonaSlots94]

Brothers and sister we got this. Jesus is the answer I hope no matter what you all accept him! Makes it so much better he helps!! 🙌🙏❤️

This song helped me out. I started drinking and smoking at 16 after my dad died. It took me till my graduation to throw away all the bottles and bongs and all the other drugs I had. I cleaned up and got a job so I could finally get the chance and make my dad proud. It has been 13 months since I touched even a drop, and I start this fall in college

[@ILuvMacklemore]

I respect Macklemore a ton load. When he hears some story of children getting bullied or taking drugs, commiting suicide etc. he does something and writes songs to show awareness. example: same love was for some kid Macklemore heard of, and that kind died of suicide because he was being bullied for his sexuality. Thrift shop was for a kid who was bullied because of his clothes, then there's starting over and otherside which are for drug-abuse awareness. In my opinion Macklemore is an inspiration

[@kjmk30]

Wow, songs like this one show that Macklemore is more than just raper, his songs speak to people, and this is amazing. And I'm so glad he's getting more popular, coz more people can hear his awesome music!

[@Spleens-Beans-Myleg]

I hope all is well, man. You've got so much support, even if we don't know you in person. :)

[@kathleenlafferty7390]

You saved my life tonight!

[@MrMatt713]

I remember hearing Pimp C od on lean. Bun B made it a big movement to disassociate himself with that type of activity afterwards. Crazy how sometimes death, or threat of death is the only way to learn.

[@cheyeannenicole2858]

I like how most people started listening to him because of Thrift Shop but then they listen to his other stuff and realize how amazing he really is... god bless you Macklemore

[@alyssa-nv7uc]

Just saw Macklemore live and couldn’t get enough so here I am

[@kayleebuck6240]

favorite band ever combined with one of my favorite rappers! perfection

[@devonbiddix2157]

This is my absolute favorite version of this song and I wish it were on Spotify

[@daniellesharps7076]

I'm happy for your mom!

[@catherinefitzgerald3113]

got my sister tickets to see you in september for her bday!!! cant wait!! :)

[@rhackspiel]

this is definately an extremely touching song. i dont have drug problems or anything else but the message transmitted is incredibly deep.... macklemore is unbelievable because he is able to transmit exactly these messages and feelings. everybody should be able to hear and understand this song!

[@charlottejohnson6690]

I'm glad this is the first song I heard of Macklemore knew he would make as soon as I herd it!

[@chrisallen8849]

The hardest thing about addiction is you'll always want it. You're always gonna fight that urge no matter what.
