For What It's Worth ft. Solo - M-Phazes[00:00:00]

I remember my very first taste of this obsession[00:00:19]

Fresh-faced kid at Next Level copping lessons[00:00:21]

Wide-eyed I'd stay for hours at a time[00:00:24]

Just grilling Dr. Phibes like a Q&A session[00:00:26]

Pestering him with all types of questions[00:00:29]

What's good this week who did the beats and who's guesting[00:00:31]

I had a part-time job so I'd work all week[00:00:33]

Then blow my whole paycheque in a few seconds[00:00:36]

And if it had that Oz Hip Hop sticker on the front[00:00:38]

You could bet I'd pick it up and add it to the collection[00:00:41]

Something about the way my native tongue[00:00:44]

Sound over dirty drums is like I found a connection[00:00:46]

And looking back now I bought a lot of classics[00:00:48]

But I also spent a lot of cash on a lot of wack sh*t[00:00:50]

And if I added it up I'd probably cringe at the thought[00:00:53]

But really I got way more than I bargained for[00:00:55]

Cause if I could put an hourly wage[00:00:58]

On all the time that I've spent locked away with a pen and a page[00:01:00]

Or every drop of sweat that I shed when I step on a stage[00:01:03]

Then brother I'd be getting paid[00:01:06]

To some it might sound crazy[00:01:08]

But music took me in taught me and shaped me[00:01:09]

And the life lessons learnt over break beats[00:01:12]

Are worth way more than anyone could pay me[00:01:14]

It's the ticket price at the show[00:01:17]

It's the bandwidth of a download[00:01:20]

Everybody's so concerned with the bottom line[00:01:22]

This is something you can't measure with a dollar sign[00:01:24]

And it can't be bought for no amount[00:01:27]

Throw 'em up if you know what I'm talking about[00:01:29]

This is something that predates trade and predates money[00:01:31]

Something that's as old as time[00:01:34]

I know this kid who's been digging through the crates for ages[00:01:36]

Born and raised Gold Coast of all places[00:01:39]

Ordinary Joe goes by the name of Mark[00:01:41]

Better known to most as M-Phazes[00:01:44]

They say it ain't where you're from it's where you're at[00:01:46]

Well this here is proof of that[00:01:48]

He worked hard just to master the boom and the bap[00:01:50]

'Till the beats so fat they make the party people say good gracious[00:01:52]

So he hooked up with some of the finest emcees from across the nation[00:01:56]

Did a few joints for some overseas cats[00:02:00]

Cause you know word spread quick like it's contagious[00:02:02]

Hooked up with an agent[00:02:04]

Took a CD of beats to the One Stop competition stood up and played it[00:02:06]

Panel of judges some of the greatest[00:02:10]

And well what do you know the whole room went ape-sh*t[00:02:12]

Uh tell me what that's worth[00:02:15]

Dollars can't buy respect cause respect it earned[00:02:17]

And I gotta give respect where respect is due[00:02:20]

Very few who would test for you[00:02:22]

Wanna talk about dedication[00:02:24]

Wanna talk about hours spent I bet he's spent a few[00:02:26]

So when he hit me up with a track for the compilation[00:02:29]

I said I'm down for whatever dude[00:02:32]

See this world dictates that all get paid cause we all gotta eat[00:02:33]

But this here is not for the feed[00:02:37]

In my own small way I'm just tryna pay back[00:02:39]

Everything that music lent to me[00:02:42]

I spent my life feeling like I didn't fit into the puzzle[00:02:44]

Now people telling me my sh*t help 'em through they struggle[00:02:46]

Huh and if you can't respect that[00:02:49]

Then you either need a slap or discover what I'm talking about[00:02:51]

It's the ticket price at the show[00:02:54]

It's the bandwidth of a download[00:02:56]

Everybody's so concerned with the bottom line[00:02:59]

This is something you can't measure with a dollar sign[00:03:01]

And it can't be bought for no amount[00:03:04]

Throw 'em up if you know what I'm talking about[00:03:05]

This is something that predates trade and predates money[00:03:08]

Something that's as old as time[00:03:11]

This is something you can't measure with a dollar sign[00:04:18]

And it can't be bought for no amount[00:04:21]

Throw 'em up if you know what I'm talking about[00:04:23]

This is something that predates trade and predates money[00:04:26]

Something that's as old as time[00:04:28]
