《For What It’s Worth ft. Solo》歌词

[00:00:00] For What It's Worth ft. Solo - M-Phazes
[00:00:19] I remember my very first taste of this obsession
[00:00:21] Fresh-faced kid at Next Level copping lessons
[00:00:24] Wide-eyed I'd stay for hours at a time
[00:00:26] Just grilling Dr. Phibes like a Q&A session
[00:00:29] Pestering him with all types of questions
[00:00:31] What's good this week who did the beats and who's guesting
[00:00:33] I had a part-time job so I'd work all week
[00:00:36] Then blow my whole paycheque in a few seconds
[00:00:38] And if it had that Oz Hip Hop sticker on the front
[00:00:41] You could bet I'd pick it up and add it to the collection
[00:00:44] Something about the way my native tongue
[00:00:46] Sound over dirty drums is like I found a connection
[00:00:48] And looking back now I bought a lot of classics
[00:00:50] But I also spent a lot of cash on a lot of wack sh*t
[00:00:53] And if I added it up I'd probably cringe at the thought
[00:00:55] But really I got way more than I bargained for
[00:00:58] Cause if I could put an hourly wage
[00:01:00] On all the time that I've spent locked away with a pen and a page
[00:01:03] Or every drop of sweat that I shed when I step on a stage
[00:01:06] Then brother I'd be getting paid
[00:01:08] To some it might sound crazy
[00:01:09] But music took me in taught me and shaped me
[00:01:12] And the life lessons learnt over break beats
[00:01:14] Are worth way more than anyone could pay me
[00:01:17] It's the ticket price at the show
[00:01:20] It's the bandwidth of a download
[00:01:22] Everybody's so concerned with the bottom line
[00:01:24] This is something you can't measure with a dollar sign
[00:01:27] And it can't be bought for no amount
[00:01:29] Throw 'em up if you know what I'm talking about
[00:01:31] This is something that predates trade and predates money
[00:01:34] Something that's as old as time
[00:01:36] I know this kid who's been digging through the crates for ages
[00:01:39] Born and raised Gold Coast of all places
[00:01:41] Ordinary Joe goes by the name of Mark
[00:01:44] Better known to most as M-Phazes
[00:01:46] They say it ain't where you're from it's where you're at
[00:01:48] Well this here is proof of that
[00:01:50] He worked hard just to master the boom and the bap
[00:01:52] 'Till the beats so fat they make the party people say good gracious
[00:01:56] So he hooked up with some of the finest emcees from across the nation
[00:02:00] Did a few joints for some overseas cats
[00:02:02] Cause you know word spread quick like it's contagious
[00:02:04] Hooked up with an agent
[00:02:06] Took a CD of beats to the One Stop competition stood up and played it
[00:02:10] Panel of judges some of the greatest
[00:02:12] And well what do you know the whole room went ape-sh*t
[00:02:15] Uh tell me what that's worth
[00:02:17] Dollars can't buy respect cause respect it earned
[00:02:20] And I gotta give respect where respect is due
[00:02:22] Very few who would test for you
[00:02:24] Wanna talk about dedication
[00:02:26] Wanna talk about hours spent I bet he's spent a few
[00:02:29] So when he hit me up with a track for the compilation
[00:02:32] I said I'm down for whatever dude
[00:02:33] See this world dictates that all get paid cause we all gotta eat
[00:02:37] But this here is not for the feed
[00:02:39] In my own small way I'm just tryna pay back
[00:02:42] Everything that music lent to me
[00:02:44] I spent my life feeling like I didn't fit into the puzzle
[00:02:46] Now people telling me my sh*t help 'em through they struggle
[00:02:49] Huh and if you can't respect that
[00:02:51] Then you either need a slap or discover what I'm talking about
[00:02:54] It's the ticket price at the show
[00:02:56] It's the bandwidth of a download
[00:02:59] Everybody's so concerned with the bottom line
[00:03:01] This is something you can't measure with a dollar sign
[00:03:04] And it can't be bought for no amount
[00:03:05] Throw 'em up if you know what I'm talking about
[00:03:08] This is something that predates trade and predates money
[00:03:11] Something that's as old as time
[00:03:13] Solo know what it's worth
[00:03:15] M-Phazes knows what it's worth
[00:03:18] A-diddy knows what it's worth
[00:03:20] Horrorshow know what it's worth
[00:03:22] My brother Nick Lupi he know what it's worth
[00:03:25] Jimmy Nice knows what it's worth
[00:03:27] DJ Joyride he knows what it's worth
[00:03:29] Urthboy knows what it's worth
[00:03:31] And my brother Lou Dubs he know what it's worth
[00:03:34] Gusto know what it's worth
[00:03:36] Muph & Pluto yo they know what it's worth
[00:03:39] And The Herd know what it's worth
[00:03:41] Illy Al Murray he knows what it's worth
[00:03:44] Flago knows what it's worth
[00:03:46] Obese they know what it's worth
[00:03:49] E Traks know what it's worth do you
[00:04:11] It's the ticket price at the show
[00:04:14] It's the bandwidth of a download
[00:04:16] Everybody's so concerned with the bottom line
[00:04:18] This is something you can't measure with a dollar sign
[00:04:21] And it can't be bought for no amount
[00:04:23] Throw 'em up if you know what I'm talking about
[00:04:26] This is something that predates trade and predates money
[00:04:28] Something that's as old as time
