Book Thoughts: (Song Edition) Politically Incorrect by Tom MacDonald

 It's once again Tom MacDonald Friday.  Today we are going to be looking at a little bit of an older song.  This one is called Politically Incorrect.  I think the title speaks for itself.  As always the video is ready for you to watch just below.  Go ahead and give it a watch, because also as always the video really does make the song so much better.



Politically Incorrect Music Video

I probably offended somebody
My generation's afraid of opinions, y'all so intolerant
They're ashamed of themselves 'cause they're privileged and white or they're black and the opposite
You get charged with harassment for huggin' a woman or givin' a compliment 
Y'all way too sensitive, yet, offended to death, bring all the coffins in

The first verse I think literally tells you all you need to know about what you're going to get with this song.  People have gotten so sensitive that they get offended by literally everything.  They let their feeling tell them what is and isn't acceptable.  As people we can't do anything without upsetting someone.  "You get charged with harassment for...givin' a compliment."  This really does sound like something that would happen.  Because apparently in today's world words are literal violence, ridiculous or what.


I swear that y'all are mad at everything that don't affect your life, hey
I swear that y'all believe that bein' offended just means that you're right, hey
I swear that y'all just wanna be the only ones who everyone likes, hey
I swear if I swear at you ninnies, you're probably so triggered, you'd cry (Yeah)
And nobody wants to be real, everyone's scared of how everyone feels (True)
We've become so ultra-sensitive and hyper-tolerant that, honestly, honesty gon' be illegal

This verse is one of the truest things that have ever been written.  Every single part of it.  People in society get offended over everything, even if it doesn't have anything to do with them whatsoever.  I mean if we are going to get upset about anything why not have it be something that will actually impact your life?  Just seems dumb people.  I also really agree with this idea that people think that because their upset that means that are right.  Facts are facts whether they upset your feelings or not.  Being offended doesn't actually change the facts, just makes you look silly.  "We've become so ultra-sensitive...that honestly honesty gon' be illegal."  And unfortunately this appears to be way the world is right now.  It doesn't matter if you are telling the truth, or be giving an honest opinion, but if it doesn't conform to what someone else believes its wrong.  And it feels like they think it's illegal, cancel that.

It's crazy y'all get so shocked and bothered from people sayin' things that aren't responsible
If that seems logical, y'all are weak then; if someone says retard, it ruins your weekend
And that's retarded, my hair been in braids 'cause it looks hella awesome
Y'all like to scream I appropriate culture, but I don't hear nothin', I'm payin' homage
Y'all are just tryna get likes on your comments, Googlin' quotes that are socially conscious
And sayin' you're woke doesn't make you a prophet, it makes you a liar and stupid obnoxious

When Tom says, "But I don't hear nothin'," that's basically him saying the he doesn't care what the haters say.  We have seen this in several other songs that he doesn't listen to his hates, but in fact he trolls them back hardcore.  But one of my favorite lines from the song is, "And sayin' you're woke doesn't make you prophet it makes you a liar and stupid obnoxious."  I really do hate the idea of being "woke".  This idea honestly just gives people the license to act like an asshole as long as they believe in the left cancel culture views.  It truly makes people stupid obnoxious, because self proclaimed "woke" people are literally the most obnoxious people in our society today.



Always on that blah-blah, y'all should keep it to yourselves (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Miss me with that drama, you must think I'm someone else
'Cause y'all don't wanna fuck with me
'Cause I don't feel the pressure, no, I will not be censored
I'm not afraid that's why they fuck with me
My name will be remembered, and I will live forever
I bet y'all hate that y'all are stuck with me

The first line of the chorus is basically how we all need to look at the world.  Everyone out there seems like they are just shouting out nonsense, "Blah-blah."  It really gets tiring listening to people telling you how you HAVE to think and feel.  "Ya'll should keep it to yourselves."  While I'm not against people having a different opinion other than my own I really don't need you to both shove it down my throat while telling me how horrible I am for not thinking the same way.  Keep our opinions to yourself if all you are going to do is get upset, and not listen.

Happy Halloween; for one evening, only you wear what you want
(What you want)
Unless it's a poncho, a headdress, or afro, you'll piss someone off, hey
I'd say Merry Christmas, but I know that it's 'bout to be gone
If religious freedom's such a dire issue, why you dressed like a priest in October for fun?

This verse is one of the most ridiculous.  Not that Tom is being ridiculous, but the fact that there are actually people out there who think that this actually true.  The thing that makes Halloween great is that you can dress up as literally anything and everything if you want to.  I can think back to some of silly and dumb things I went as.  But the point is that you can be whatever you want.  Except know people are getting offended by the fact that you costume doesn't belong to you culturally.  But why does that offend you?  Especially since it always seems to be white liberals who get offended over someone else culture.  What in the literal hell is happening to our world.  Keep telling the people the truth Tom.

Don't let 'em censor your thoughts, don't let 'em make you regret that you talked (Yeah)
Don't let 'em tell you that nice is the law, tryna make you all righter when nothin' is wrong, yeah
Words hurt you, clothes hurt you, memes hurt you, jokes hurt you, we hurt you
Half the time you don't even probably know what hurt you, but you super mad, trust we heard you

Tom here is telling his fans not to let the haters, and cancel culture, to stop them from having their own opinions.  Don't ever regret being yourself, and telling people what you think and your opinion.  "Half the time you don't even probably know what hurt you, but you super mad, trust we heard you."  This is another amazing line, because it is so true.   People get so upset about everything that I don't think that they even truly understand what they are mad about.  They're mad just to literally be mad, and what is even the point of that?  How unhappy do you have to be with your life to get upset over something you know nothing about.

You a pawn in a broken system, are you triggered much? You've been showin' symptoms
Y'all are so addicted to bein' hopeless victims, y'all could crash a plane and blame the road conditions
And your only sickness is your social vision, makes you scared of choices, but you're pro-decision 

So you march a lot but never go the distance, yellin' way too loud until no one listens 

Always on that blah-blah, y'all should keep it to yourselves

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Miss me with that drama, you must think I'm someone else
'Cause y'all don't wanna fuck with me
'Cause I don't feel the pressure, no, I will not be censored
I'm not afraid that's why they fuck with me
My name will be remembered, and I will live forever
I bet y'all hate that y'all are stuck with me

The second line of this verse is perfect, "Y'all are so addicted to bein hopeless victims y'all could crash a plane and blame the road conditions."  This line is referring to people who blame something, or someone, for a problem that doesn't even relate to it in any way.  Because how does the condition of the road have anything to do with flying?  Or how does me not eating everything on my plate actually affect someone who's starving in a country halfway around the world? I mean if you're going to attack something you don't like you should at least go after something that can actually have an affect on the issue you're fighting for.


 

"You look like the devil", you sound like some Christians
You just won a medal for askin' permission
You just want a pat on the back in addition
To bein' so tolerant, fine, I admit it
You're nicer, you're better, you're righter, you're brilliant
Most sensitive creatures in all of existence
My freedom of thought should be censored with prison
The world would be better if we weren't so different
Always on that blah-blah, y'all should keep it to yourselves (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Miss me with that drama, you must think I'm someone else
'Cause y'all don't wanna fuck with me
'Cause I don't feel the pressure, no, I will not be censored
I'm not afraid that's why they fuck with me
My name will be remembered, and I will live forever

I bet y'all hate that y'all are stuck with me

That last verse really hits the nail on the head.  Have you ever been in that situation where you are trying to explain how, based on facts, that the other person is actually wrong, and they aren't listening to you?  And in the end, even though you truly have actually admitted your wrong, you just yell at them that their right just to get them to shut up?  I have.  Multiple times, with the literal same person.  If they are reading this they know who they are.  Just to get them to stop you tell them their nicer, better, righter, more brilliant, or whatever they need to hear.  This is how a lot of people are today, they don't want to listen to the other side of the argument so their argument is that you are wrong, and nothing else matters.  

Alright that's it for this review.  Let me know down in the comments below your own thoughts and opinions.  Also, let me know what song you want me to do next.  Check out my other Tom MacDonald reviews linked below.
