  • This was fucking sick. bravo

  • is pro-meth bad too?

    

  • The way he raps matches with the beat. Sickkkk.

  • Every time i hear this, i get chills

  • My two favourite bands/musicans

  • Man I Love You<3

  • Macklemore.. is just something else.. he makes you want to wake up change your life.. if only he knew the impact he had on me!! thanks..

  • He's soo deep ! 

  • amazing

    

  • This song is my life story. I struggled with meth and heroin addiction for a long time. went to jail an rehab an got clean then i relapsed again. Lost everything that ever meant anything to me. I was shooting up dope everyday just to stay well. Ive overdosed at least 6 times, I finally decided to get my shit together an got clean in Feb 2011, ive got almost a year clean and my life has never been better, If any of you needs anybody to talk to, im here. Just send me a message. Im here to listen.

  • @SaraMichele96 good for you :) it's great to hear this when i've had friends that got addicted to drugs and alcohol

  • @SaraMichele96 well guess wat this aint about meth and heroin dumb ass its about cough syrup

  • @Famas1760 Doesn't matter you bro, an addiction is and addiction its hard all the same. Respect what people have gone through, because you don't know whats around the corner. FYI its not just cough syrup it contains codeine and promethazine. Codeine is what makes it addictive. You never know bro, stay respectful.

  • its so sad that this is affecting people in life.

  • influence you on how you should live your life, and also that nothing should own your life but you. Americans are obsessed with escapism, whether it be movies, music, drugs, sex, etc. The idea is that THIS is reality and we cant just be taking pills or smoking weed or sipping syrup to wash the days away because we can't handle them. Idk. I want to be a drug psychologist, and theres a lot of research to back up positive things about drugs. I just wanted to create some balance here.

  • Just a little info here. The intro talks about codeine being in cough syrup, but this practice stopped a long time ago BECAUSE of the addictive and dangerous potential. They found that DXM works just as well without a lot of the negative stuff (and to be respectful to iBGSurASS, it can cause depressing analyses of life, like many hallucinogens.) But i don't think Mack is saying you can't have a glass of wine with friends or smoke a joint ever. I think the main point is that you can't let others

  • the story of my life

  • @123Chilywily Samee. Thiis song makes me trip out on life so much.

  • i can deffenetly see people in my life lettin drugs and shit take over their lives. its real stuff happeneing out there.

  • This is the view that rap should have, if it did it would revolutionize music. !!!

  • This song makes me think of my uncle because he was really cool when he was young, and he was close to the family then he got into meth and pills. He went to jail like 4 times and after that he got out and looked at me and my sister and said "I promise ill never go back to that again" less that 3 weeks later he was back in jail for possession of meth and pills and a weapon he couldnt have because he was a felon.. I miss him now but hes just not the same anymore.. and never will be..

  • this song right here helped get thru rehab nd wit my recovery only thing i could realte to...then i relapsed nd heard this song again nd now am goin back to NA meetings. all i can say is thank u macklemore u helped more then u even no <3 no homo lol

  • @justprov 18 nd sober GET SOME BITCH lol

  • Hell yea, he plays on Playstation!

  • @ecisawsome xD

  • Love this song, Its so real<3

  • So many people can relate to this song, and have seen people go down and relapse on their drugs or drinking , ive seen so many people wreck their lives with drugs. My one friend actually didnt wake up once and didnt wake up for a few days and even now though he is still doing the drugs.. Its hard to watch because he means the world to me watching him fall and destroy his life is so hard, he had so many goals but yet he still realizes he has a purpose on this world -3

  • yo check out k.e.v drop it !!

  • whose the guy talking at the end in the interview thing?

  • Thank-you PrayHq clan! This song completely speaks to me, and it DOES speak the truth.

  • thank you temperrr, you gave me GOOD music <3

  • @SmokeGrandaddyPurple i feel you man just keep fighting. battling addiction fucking sucks i know that shit man battled it for 7 years on hard drugs im just getting my GED never thought i do anything either but shit happens man. been clean and sober for 5 and 1/2 months.

  • @JackLiboChannel it did /watch?v=Ti_R6MTPS8s

    These guys are sick.

  • Im balling so hard right now... I smoke weed... Im so fucking hooked on it.. I was almost six months sober now I relapsed.. My life is so fucked over because this shit! I got caught about six times now.. I hate seeing my mom being so let down when she see's me baked.. But I think I don't have a problem when I'm smoking weed all by my self.. Your the best macklemore.. Im 13 and this is my favorite song.... <3

  • @TheMaxhellesto Sieriously? Wow, you cant get physically hooked on weed, Just stop. Its not hard, Your going to throw your life away if you cant control yourself. You shouldn't let anything take over your life, especially if its hurting other people around you. No one is going to think you're cool when you end up fiending for meth.

  • This should go in a COD montage!!! But its a good song. :]

  • Excellent.

  • @SmokeGrandaddyPurple same man i am 17 yrs old i did acid,oxy, smoked, drank, C's i was stupid and this song realy got to me to but it also helped wen i would listen i had this on repeat it made me not want to do anything im 7 months sober now feeling great not having a bit of feeling to do anything at all anymore besides an occasional beer on holidays with fam. where i came from no1 gave a shit wat i did but lettin u know bro hmu wit a mssge if u got struggles im here even tho i dont know u bro

  • i dont get how the new one is like different with the same lyrics but is still otherside ? someone explain :) amazing songs both versions amazing though

  • by liking that top comment about the 17 year old, were pretty much saying yeah your life is fucked up

  • @Thejrjackassable uh no...

  • "I've seen oxycoton take 4* lifes" This was said at his concert in downtown Olympia, Washington.

  • great show in tempe last night.. come back soon

  • oxycotton*

    

  • drug free for life...

    best rap song in the world.

  • @xxaray thank you soo much!

  • What is the name of the version of this song with the "oh no this boat is sinking..,"? Like instead of the redhotchilipeppers instrumen,tal? Please tell me!

  • @flourescence22 "Otherside Remix Feat. Fences" - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. I would post a link to the video but it won't let me. It's a GREAT song though.. good luck!

  • Truee ishh..

  • This is the kind of song to be bought not dowloaded

  • </3

  • @livelife4dust red hot chili peppers - otherside

    also when he says "this is not californication" red hot chili peppers also has a song called californication.

  • woow. This song is so real that is makes me sad. It's all fun until someone you love O.D's falls down and never gets up again. You aren't cool you're just hurting everyone who cares about you. So many people I know ruined their lives getting into drugs and ever since i was little I have seen how it changes a person. They are some crazed monster who will do anything for the drugs, even if it leaves you on the street with nothing.

  • no top comment? my time to shine!

    best song ever!

  • @riderluverbaby stfu

  • The part where the guy didn't wake up really got to me..very emotional and true song

  • Wow... This song is my favorite and i just heard it today on a runescape pking video.

  • Amazing song... Crazy how much I relate!

  • and we danced . . . and we cried . . . and we had a realy realy good time

  • Amazing rapper. This song hits me hard. pretty sad, but its like reality

  • Finally somebody who raps about life..and not a fantasy.

  • dude great vid keep it up!!

  • Dude can you do lyrics to "wings" thx

  • Macklemore -3 hes amazing pretty soon his gonna be the best rapper ! There's just one thing I think that he needs to work on to be the best. And that's tuning the stories better please all don't go off at me I'm just saying. And I probly make him more than you do anyway.

  • LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • I Ash Blunts To This Song Lol

  • @uronlyfanboy exactly, what an emotional song.

  • 240p tsk tsk

  • best song out there this sng really gets to me <3

  • Not many things make me emotional but this did, too many people I know have died from opiates... This is why I only smoke weed and drink occasionally.

  • @SmokeGrandaddyPurple I hope you get to your dreams, everyone should have one chance to do whatever they want. Dont think yours past.

    From a guy who is headed in the same direction.

  • This actually made me emotional....

  • @ReBeLxBuTcHeRx pussy

  • @33baseballguy Dude hes not a pussy listen to the lyrics understand what the songs about then talk your not cool for calling ppl pussys

  • <4

  • I swear to God, some people just go around disliking every video that they see. There is no possible way you could dislike this song. Great beat, Great background music, Amazing lyrics. It just doesn't get any better than that.

  • Kutos to you Macklemore, You're music is art. You're words are real and true, not about hoes and bitches and smoking weed. More rappers out there should listen to you and adopt your methods. (:

  • why is there a dislike...

  • 1 person is stupid enough to actually like syrup

  • well , liked the song but who are new's reader talking bout ? =O

  • @TeamSmashPS3 Cough Syrup Epidemic. Where drinkin the syrup made you feel good so people kept on drinking it and they overdosed and died.

  • I'm downing these 4 bottles i just stole. I fucking hate my life. This song had me thinking not to do it. But fuck it. I'm done. I love every human being on this world. Especially Miranda Meyers. I love you forever & always. I hope you see this. Goodbye

  • @iBGSurASS hey man, hope you're doing alright. Let me know whats up, we can get you help.

  • @iBGSurASS Hey dude, whats going on? There;s people who can help you through whatever your going through. Hit me up.

  • @iBGSurASS You posted that 3 months ago, and your latest activity is today. So you obviously didn't do it. ...But did you say that stuff for attention? If not, we're all glad you talked yourself out of it hah.

  • @turkeyspanka Actually. i did take it all, & had a rope hanging next to my in my closet, but the moment i stood up. i feel straight down, the robo completely fucked me. i could barely move without falling, i called my bestfriends crying, they all raced over to my house, & they took care of me until i fell asleep & slept it off. then they sat me down, & talked to through everything. They made me realize how valuable my life really is So i owe it to my bestfriends, Johnny Peter Andy Jack & Matt.

  • @iBGSurASS good to hear man

  • @iBGSurASS Right on. I'm glad you realized that as long as there's people to care about, there's never nothing to live for. Even if you feel no one cares about you, it's never true. Keep on, brother.

  • @iBGSurASS thats legit u got swag for gettin ur shit together ive been threw some similiar shit but didnt handle as good as u, i give u props man for real

  • @justprov Thank you. (:

  • @iBGSurASS damn, robo is crazy, this songs about codeine though. imagine if you were drinkin codeine instead of robo. shit ive tried both i still do occasionally

  • @iBGSurASS it was the same with me well not me i was the one doing the saving my friend was addicted to oxy it took me and a few of our best friends to help out he tried to commit suicide 3 or 4 times before we could really help him he is doing awesome and clean for over a year now i will never forget him my best friends

  • @iBGSurASS Your a bitch nigga, tryin to get likes and shit.

  • @ darklightning711 I looked up the lyrics it is lean not wane @ sixteennights it is five a bone

  • This song really got me thinking...

  • Until your stuck, lookin in the mirror like i cant believe what i've become.....

    sick part..like this if you agree 3:34

  • greatest rap song ever made

  • it wont be me to not like this vid agreed

  • theres a reason no1 disliked

  • Oh and the part let the bass bump that and five up on him is the only part you messed up on man. But good lyrics and nice job

  • Nice job on the lyrics and you got it all right man. Lean is the proper name for it.

  • great song. i hardly understand the lyrics because I'm not a native English speaker. but i know the meaning of the song

  • amazing.

  • This song is amazing.

  • I dare someone to dislike this video -.-

  • words are a lil off

    yup he had 5 up on him, when he passed him that styrofoam

  • he messed up the beginning the drug is called wane... so it goes like this... He rolled up, asked him what hes sippin' on He seid wane, you want to hit it dawg?... then the rest of the song

  • dope song

  • it's called a sample . alotta artists do this shit , it's not stealing .

  • 1700 veiws are me

  • EVERYONE WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO CAN.... wait nvm 

  • This song is to great to be disliked

  • It's bass, not base.

  • Macklemore should be so much bigger, this and irish celebration are amazing

  • R.I.P Pimpsee <3 thnx for reminding the world of him, Macklemore.

  • @armordeagle3 you mean Pimp C??

  • Freaking love this song. Deep, wakes you up and makes you realize that conformity isn't a harmless thing, All our favorite rappers sippin' cough syrup is causing the easily swayed people to do the same thinkin' it's cool.

  • wait...so do ppl literally drink cough medacine right out of the bottle??

  • @grimgrudge no mix it with sprite lol

  • @grimgrudge they mix it with sprite

  • @walnutgrovemo the pop?

  • this song deserves way more views than 5,000...

  • passed 3k nice :D

  • awesome video i just used for my psychology class!

  • My Favorite Song now.

  • addicted to.... no, not syrup.

    addicted to this song <3 :D

  • thanks great vid!

  • @mothahen123 Your welcome and thank you:)

  • @iitsMataii what chili's song is the instrumental from?

  • I hate ppl that say they stole this music from the chilli peppers, hes using it but thats paying tribute to them and also he makes a reference to californication so i have no problem with it, i love them both.

  • @Jdawgallday Dude I completely agree, especially because he doesnt sell it, it's for downloading and he knows it. Since he pays tribute and he doesnt get anything off of it, it doesnt matter. Thats like saying justin bieber stole ushers songs by singing them on youtube. Altho I dont really like JB, he didnt steal anything...

  • @iitsMataii It's debatebly his best song (in my eyes at least) and he doesn't sell it, so people need to stop the argueing about it because the only thing that he's getting out of this is the music and cred but with these lyrics the creds well deserved, Love mac though and thanks for throwing this out here man

  • @Jdawgallday diddo dude

    

  • Thank you so much for this video. :)

  • ahh thank you so much! this song is amazing

    

  • @shanecon671 Do you want any other songs with lyrics? I'll do it if I like it:) Haha

  • @iitsMataii i do....cant hold us

  • @iitsMataii Will you make a lyrics video of the song Behind me lies anoter fallen solider - As I lay dying ? :)

    I'ts also a song that have a great meaning. If u do it i'll subscribe but u dont have to do it if u does not like the song ;)

  • @iitsMataii would you do 'and we danced' that'd be keen haha
