@td13itch I'm 29. You know, the music biz is much different than it used to be. You'll never see another rapper blow up like Eminem did. Never again. There's so much more music to choose from now. So many artists out there. Fans aren't forced to pick from 5 albums anymore. Yeah, I think I will still get much bigger than I am now, but I am happy of all the work I have done and how far I have made it. I don't believe in "success" and "american dreams" and "yearly income." Be happy and make art!
I turn 32 in like 2 weeks.. moved to kansas july 2011... this song was a life presever in an ocean when i was still learning how to swim. Will you ever be on an award show? maybe not. Have you changed and saved countless lives? Hell yeah...and that's a badge of honor that the glitter n gold can never measure to.
Mac you ARE THE RAPPER for me...this song and sleepless and senseless saved my life...I've been sober since 2011..you write about life from a lens I very much understand and feel deeply.
Do I have some sort of obligation to myself to keep commenting on this video every new year’s eve? idk, guess we’ll figure out next year. Welcome to 2019
I listened to this when it dropped... 15 years old. I'm coming back to confirm the life is in fact harder as an adult. Btw, the "welcome to 2011" aged so well and unironically. It takes me back man. It really does. ❤
I thought rap was garbage hip hop pop all of it but mac lethal is the einstien, pocoso, the fucking patron saint of this style of music. And he has a great attitude towards it so much so that after about 7 years ive decided to write my first you tube comment
I go to sleep, knowing when I wake up I will have a good day. I put this song on every day, and have for the past 3 months. I go to sleep with this on auto replay. It makes me feel loved. Keep up the work Mac. Best underrated rapper ever.

One of your many masterpieces. sippin on a Ardbeg single malt and thinking back on how i felt as i heard this the first time around may 2011. You dont know me at all and i don't know if you'll read this. But just wanted to leave something on here, don't know why really. Sending my love to you and your family all the way from sweden.
This song has been playing thru my head for the past 3 days since I first heard it on Spotify. Such a picture he paints with his words. Easily one of the top 5 emcees I enjoy listening to.
Well ive been listening to all my saved music from 2008-2012 and I swear to God there are times were I fucking openly weep thinking about the potential we had. Granted my mother passed away within this time, but I honestly feel like the brightest part of humanity has passed. And we were so God-damned beautiful.
Mac man, I have to say you only impress me more and more as you go. You deserve to be huge man and you are the most underrated rapper out there in my opinion. You blow me away with every song. Keep spittin it man.
i was sitting outside under the stars last night, listening to this album. this song literally made my night. i can't think of anything more relaxing then listening to your music under the wide open night sky
Forever bumping this shit listen this as a kid gave me a different perspective on music made me really focus on the rappers and artists I listen to Mac is a lyrical genius
I saw Mac's comment and I posted it to my facebook, shit blew up so fast!! People had no idea who you were but they loved the song. Ill put money on this guy makin it big
I haven't kept up with Mac Lethal in a few months, I've been too busy getting caught up in College and all that fun shit. But I managed to flip through RUclips today on some of my spare time and come around the fastest rapper video, along with these new tracks. Immediately as this track began to play and the raps came through a smile threw up on my face. Good shit. Hasn't happened in a while. I'll make sure to cop the new music as soon as it drops.
I think one of the coolest things about Mac is that I see him responding to comments on youtube. How many artists do you see actually responding to their fans? Awesome.
@Atmossucks There is a very unfortunate myth that drugs and alcohol help make better music/create better writing. It's not true. In all honesty since being sober (I do drink in moderation, and occasionally smoke weed) my writing has become sharper and clearer, and my drive has increased that much more. Oxy about ruined me man.
I want to say Thank You for all your music you put out. Man im 25 and I have been stuggling with an opiate add. for 8 or 9 years now. Its one of the hardest things I can think of to go though. I just got off done and on subs, so now My Mind seems really mangled, but im close to the end hopefully. Your music however has been one of the keys to helping me threw, i get up and get right on the computer, same in the car. Thanks.
I think this is the best rap song I have hear in a long time the story the message and song this should be on every radio station keep living your dream
DJcap, I agree with you, I want to hear more from this dude, he has some very good skills, writing and his delivery is clean. I hope he sticks with it. And stays doing his thing.
Starting this year I was in deep depression, I found Mac Lethal's ''I'm Odd'', it got me through the fucking shit i thought was wrong in my life. Now, almost a year later I finally got my life on track, and I still listen to Mac. The guy is a fucking genius and his lyrics are brilliant, not like most of the senseless shit nowadays...
I have just listened to all of these songs on youtube and downloading all your other music VERY soon and i can already say, You are too good to be this underground. I hope you get famous so i can finally go and tell all my friends "There's a hope left for hip hop and pure music". You are my influence in more than music. Sorry for writing such a long comment but I'm just saying.
@BlackCloverRecords your music has helped me through a lot . no joke , i can relate so much to a lot of the emotions you put through your songs . you're my inpiration and i hope to meet you one day to tell you this personally .
Mac, I don't know if this comment will be drowned out by countless meaningless enquirers and comments, but I want you to know it's people like you that make me perservere into the world of rap. It's people like you that make me a perfectionist. My allegories are hardly found, and my lyrics never written, but truthfully, I don't say that you're better than me, but if anything, my brother, we are simply eye to eye with this world in its ridiculousness in the same. I want you to know I owe you lot.
I just found this. I absolutely adore you and your music. Please continue, you will become big and great soon. I swear I listen to this like 100 times a day. This is truly art. I am so happy that people can make music like this and not like completely about drugs and such nonsense. Thank you.
All the other rappers rap about random things. Mac puts emotion and a mood into his songs and it isnt all randomness. Mac Lethal is easily one of my favorite rappers.
Yo, for real. There are alot of rappers, alot of white rappers, but they ain't eminem. I really respect both of them, and they aren't only rappers who I listen to. I listen to any rapper who creates good music. I don't care if they are black or yellow or white. Everyone has fair opportunitys to be great at life.
I stopped listening to hip hop because I couldn't find anything I liked... Now I realize I was just looking in the wrong place. Music is recent but brings me back to good times much love.
people are gonna be saying your the next eminem... well truth is your gonna be hearing people saying we need more people like mac lethal and its true..... THIS STUFF IS SICK keep doing what you doing

Just in case anyone was wondering, the instrumental is "I'm God" by Clams Casino.

Welcome to 2021. Insane to think this song has been part of my life for 10 years now. Thanks!
10 years and I still visit this song.
10 years ago... time really flies.
Wow, this song still rocks, i remember when this song only had like 200 views... loved it then, love it now.
Make more Oldschool raps like this Mac!

@TheActaylor wow thanks y'all. that's really sweet to know new people are hearing the material.
i simeltaneously love and hate how so many of your songs hit me right in the heart and actually spur thought.
much love from the 403 mac

Welcome to 2011!
We're gonna change things up this year
I'm not addicted anymore
I'm finally free to think
Walking backwards looking at the universe I see it shrink
Tellin' every empty soul to slow it down and hit control
It's so profound I'm walkin' over open ground on tipsy toes
Serve a shot of whiskey froze
Clip a set of angel wings
We just kiss each other to avoid saying hateful things
More is in the picture than my selfish old face
I'm at a gorgeous wedding by myself with no date
Panic stricken, head is swollen, I can't be forever soulin'
Halfway through I fell asleep and woke up with the credits rollin'
When you're at the top you feel alone, so every year I kill the king and let another person take the throne
Fish bones, alcoholic genes, vitriolic poems
White women call it the type place you don't walk alone
White men call it a place that you'll get your wallet stolen'
White kids call it scary
Black people call it home
Mac Lethal, maricon
Crack feeble, collar bones
I am god, y'all are just some carbon clones
Garden gnomes that probably had some big plans on New Year's Eve
Even though it never makes the fuckin' blue tears leave
I'm gonna die twice, I'm gonna die twice
Once when I stop breathing
Once when y'all forget what I write
My name is Mac Lethal and kid I'm the prime minister
Today I passed a bill to give kittens to life prisoners
(Therapeutic reasons, you know?)
Kids always think they're smarter than adults, til they grow up and they realize life is harder as adults
Kids always think they're smarter than adults, til they grow up and they realize life is harder-
I swear to god, I'm scared shitless
Stuck on these mountains, and they're cliffless
No place for me to jump, no audience to bear witness
Their interest, has dwindled down to glimpses
For instance, even in Kansas City now I'm vintage
I'm trying hard to break away from underground hip hop, cause 99 percent of ya'll are gossipy bitches
So here's a warning shot
Keep talking that shit that you're talking and I promise that I gotta get vicious
I'm sorry ya'll I made a mistake
I let a couple fans get too close and now my real family sees a ghost at the dinner table
Silent, freshly home from tour but I don't even wanna tell the stories about the places I went
I just wanna listen
I just wanna listen to the friction
I'm comfortable surrounded by addiction
See, I don't even wait for 5 o'clock
Lately I just wake up
Eat my lunch, make a drink, roll some pot and then I just grin
Kids always think they're smarter than adults, til they grow up and they realize life is harder as adults
(It's what happened to me, dude.)
Kids always think they're smarter than adults, til they grow up and they realize life is harder as adults
Sullen not soulin methinks? Tyvm for lyrics tho, rep 2020 mac lethal
took me a whole decade of living in kansas and the pancreas fighting back lol but im almost a month without so much as a drop of booze
Never heard mac lethal until about 2 weeks ago. Quickly climbing the ranks of my favorite rappers.
I remeber the days when i was one of the only people who knew about mac. Glad to see others catch on

Thanks for putting the work in for so long, Mac. Iv been listening since the Sage Francis days. You helped me thru some tough times.
I can play this while sitting in a scenic place & enjoy the moments to the fullest, alone.
Mac man, I have to say you only impress me more and more as you go. You deserve to be huge man and you are the most underrated rapper out there in my opinion. You blow me away with every song. Keep spittin it man.
i was sitting outside under the stars last night, listening to this album. this song literally made my night. i can't think of anything more relaxing then listening to your music under the wide open night sky
lil b murdered it, you made it come back to life.
Mac this is what I've always said about your music. It's not rap. It's poetry put to a beat. Love your style man. Glad i found your youtube page.
mac's songs are to dope to ever be forgotten.
Forever bumping this shit listen this as a kid gave me a different perspective on music made me really focus on the rappers and artists I listen to Mac is a lyrical genius

Wow Mac.. I didn’t ever know you saved any one else’s life. I always thought you only saved mine. I love you.
Very strong, and the flow is just hella mellow and relaxing, great song mac!
Don't judge the song based on the intro... Listen and understand the meaning of his words... He is... Lethal.
