- The Real Truthwith Pez
Dobe can rap with the best of them…
“G’day all, I’ve had a ball
rappin’ and writin’, and laughin’ and fightin’
over this word or that but here’s the fact
at the end of each day I’d be heard to say
that words ARE weapons in the hands of the young
truths are spoken by fearless tongues
I’m proud and privileged to have been involved
and it’s made me strong in my resolve
to keep an eye out for more in rap
that rings with truths that cut through the crap!”
Three weeks of hanging out with Pez and Mantra and meeting dozens of young folks from a wonderful mix of Victoria’s secondary schools. It doesn’t get much better than that. AND I got to be part of this amazing songwriting component of the ‘Live No Fear’ campaign that’s produced some simply incredible material. It reminded me – if I needed it, why I chose music as a career. In what other business could I be confronted on a daily basis with enthusiasm, skill, honesty and fearlessness of the next generation of our industry’s practitioners?
Though this round of workshops is finished, I know the boys and I are hanging out to see all the finished lyrics AND to hear them combined with the beats. I wish I was there to see the looks on the faces of the writers when they hear their words come to life. You should all be proud of yourselves – I know we are!
If I’ve got to sum it up in a few words, I’d just like to say thanks to the schools and students for being part of ‘Words Not Weapons’ and sharing their stories and passions with us.
Cheers,
Dobe
