In a fresh and innovative way to raise money to support people living with disabilities, Adelaide hip hop band Mase N Mattic has teamed up with scosa (formerly the Spastic Centres of South Australia) to launch "Who I am". 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of this track will go to scosa and will be used to provide vital services to South Australians living with disabilities.
Mase N Mattic -- aka Jason Willoughby, Matthew Patti, together with DJ PT, Paul Tate -- are developing a strong following around Australia after the release of their first album Sound the Horns in 2011.
The group featured in the 2012 Big Day Out and have performed live with the likes of Hilltop Hoods, Drapht, Funkoars and toured nationally as a support act with Melbourne-based artist, M-Phazes.
Mase N Mattic has written "Who I am" exclusively for scosa as a dedication to people living with disabilities. The group all have strong connections to people with disabilities and approached scosa because they wanted to make a meaningful contribution.
Get behind this initiative and download the song. 100 percent of the amount you elect to pay will support scosa and go a long way to making a positive difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
If 1000 people download the song for $5, we will raise enough funds to provide 400 hours of support services for people with disabilities.
WHO I AM - LYRICS
Mase:
I grew up in a nice kinda neighbourhood
Standard homes and the floor boards are made of wood
That's truth, man i'm not gonna lie
Try sell you a story that your not gonna buy right
Pretty straight edge, you could say clean cut
Had my problems, yeah, but they been brushed
Off my shoulder, letting em go
Release hold, be the mould, like embedded in stone
So remember, when you say that it hurts, there's
Someone else in the world and they got it worse
And in the end, yeah we all had a clever
Idea to write a song, words came together
No hesitation to change for the better
Coz a lot can be made if you make a little effort, like
I don't wait for the day that I die
I live life, give a positive vibe, and thats why I said
Mattic:
Open your heart; re-wire your brain
And change up how you perceive your pain
We tend to take every blessing for granted
And i don’t know why, no questions are answered
You Have health and food; you have love and friends
You got more than a kid could wish for in the end
A Sense of sight to hold a one-track mind
The ability to think and store a memory inside
We can only be said to be alive in these moments
I stay conscious of those who can’t involve em
When A silent gratitude isn’t much use but still
We stay comfortable with how we fit in these shoes
See You can walk, you can talk, play sports with your mates
You can watch the sunset to finish off your days
So we can Always find something to be thankful for
So why not Spare a thought for what will make you yours and I said
Mase n Mattic:
I go about my day to day with a
Open hand life style and i like to give a
Little back, given that, what this has given us
Is way more than i thought, from when i picked it up
im feelin, home & safe but face the bitterness
we aint all the same, nah, we all made different
think of it, if you could have one wish
See would you help yourself, or would you help one kid
