Solo - M-Phazes [00:19.20]I remember my very first taste of this obsession [00:21.62]Fresh-faced kid at Next Level copping lessons [00:24.32]Wide-eyed I'd stay for hours at a time [00:26.40]Just grilling Dr. Phibes like a Q&A session [00:29.26]Pestering him with all types of questions [00:31.28]What's good this week who did the beats and who's guesting [00:33.91]I had a part-time job so I'd work all week [00:36.27]Then blow my whole paycheque in a few seconds [00:38.83]And if it had that Oz Hip Hop sticker on the front [00:41.43]You could bet I'd pick it up and add it to the collection [00:44.14]Something about the way my native tongue [00:46.03]Sound over dirty drums is like I found a connection [00:48.33]And looking back now I bought a lot of classics [00:50.64]But I also spent a lot of cash on a lot of wack sh*t [00:53.24]And if I added it up I'd probably cringe at the thought [00:55.91]But really I got way more than I bargained for [00:58.26]Cause if I could put an hourly wage [01:00.13]On all the time that I've spent locked away with a pen and a page [01:03.19]Or every drop of sweat that I shed when I step on a stage [01:06.13]Then brother I'd be getting paid [01:08.01]To some it might sound crazy [01:09.84]But music took me in taught me and shaped me [01:12.57]And the life lessons learnt over break beats [01:14.88]Are worth way more than anyone could pay me [01:17.91]It's the ticket price at the show [01:20.35]It's the bandwidth of a download [01:22.57]Everybody's so concerned with the bottom line [01:24.87]This is something you can't measure with a dollar sign [01:27.43]And it can't be bought for no amount [01:29.33]Throw 'em up if you know what I'm talking about [01:31.79]This is something that predates trade and predates money [01:34.97]Something that's as old as time [01:36.39]I know this kid who's been digging through the crates for ages [01:39.30]Born and raised Gold Coast of all places [01:41.68]Ordinary Joe goes by the name of Mark [01:44.40]Better known to most as M-Phazes [01:46.44]They say it ain't where you're from it's where you're at [01:48.90]Well this here is proof of that [01:50.31]He worked hard just to master the boom and the bap [01:52.68]'Till the beats so fat they make the party people say good gracious [01:56.27]So he hooked up with some of the finest emcees from across the nation [02:00.20]Did a few joints for some overseas cats [02:02.22]Cause you know word spread quick like it's contagious [02:04.91]Hooked up with an agent [02:06.30]Took a CD of beats to the One Stop competition stood up and played it [02:10.61]Panel of judges some of the greatest [02:12.63]And well what do you know the whole room went ape-sh*t [02:15.58]Uh tell me what that's worth [02:17.42]Dollars can't buy respect cause respect it earned [02:20.27]And I gotta give respect where respect is due [02:22.83]Very few who would test for you [02:24.85]Wanna talk about dedication [02:26.47]Wanna talk about hours spent I bet he's spent a few [02:29.68]So when he hit me up with a track for the compilation [02:32.26]I said I'm down for whatever dude [02:33.82]See this world dictates that all get paid cause we all gotta eat [02:37.40]But this here is not for the feed [02:39.74]In my own small way I'm just tryna pay back [02:42.17]Everything that music lent to me [02:44.05]I spent my life feeling like I didn't fit into the puzzle [02:46.56]Now people telling me my sh*t help 'em through they struggle [02:49.29]Huh and if you can't respect that [02:51.27]Then you either need a slap or discover what I'm talking about [02:54.66]It's the ticket price at the show [02:56.94]It's the bandwidth of a download [02:59.23]Everybody's so concerned with the bottom line [03:01.58]This is something you can't measure with a dollar sign [03:04.11]And it can't be bought for no amount [03:05.78]Throw 'em up if you know what I'm talking about [03:08.69]This is something that predates trade and predates money [03:11.47]Something that's as old as time [03:13.65]Solo know what it's worth [03:15.34]M-Phazes knows what it's worth [03:18.54]A-diddy knows what it's worth [03:20.23]Horrorshow know what it's worth

[04:14.11]It's the bandwidth of a download [04:16.53]Everybody's so concerned with the bottom line [04:18.95]This is something you can't measure with a dollar sign [04:21.46]And it can't be bought for
