Bliss N Eso are long time touring buddies and friends of Mind Over Matter and will also star in the upcoming video.

Mind Over Matter are Willow AKA Rowan Lockyer and Smiles AKA Martin Brown. After meeting as year 7 classmates in the school yard at St Pius X College, the duo began practicing their freestyle skills together and have been putting in the hard yards ever since.

The duo have toured with some of Australia’s best hip hop talent including Bliss N Eso, 360, Pez and Drapht. Renowned for their narrative wit and smooth moves, Mind Over Matter’s dynamic live shows consistently win them new fans.

The upcoming album also features triple J airplay smash and lead single ‘Real Life’. With vocals by Melbourne singer K.I.K.I, the single peaked at #8 on the iTunes Hip Hop charts in 2013.

All The Same feat. Emma Beau

This track didn't make the cut of my album.

[Bridge] x 2 
I bought a lovely house down in funky town / 
But only stuck around a month cos it was fucking loud / 

[Verse 1] 
I wouldn’t mind a place to live near a dentist and newsagent / 
So I can read the newspaper whenever my tooth’s aching / 
It’s just practical plus I can have it rolled up / 
And hit the doc for charging 400 for Panadol / 

I told my real estate I want something affordable / 
Is sorta new, has a water view and a sauna too / 
With a place around the corner I can order food / 
And somewhere warm so I don’t fucking slip on the morning dew / 

I gotta pet gorilla and I’ve kept him in a / 
Big dusty crate and he just sits there all day / 
And whenever I let him out he just rips up the place / 
So make sure its friendly for pets that are 6’ fucking 8” / 

And I plan to make it big in music, I’m certain to make it / 
But if I don’t I could work in an apron, serving or baking / 
Cursing and hating cos I barely earn the repayments / 
But if I make it I’ll be chirpy and gracious / 

When she said it might be hard to find the perfect location / 
I replied “you’ll be right love, I’m sure that you’ll find one” / 
Cos if you don’t I’ll probably run you down in a hire truck / 
And read in the paper at the dentist that you died young / 

[Chorus x 2] 
Cos every little thing that goes around ya / 
It always comes around / 
It always comes around / 
Which means I’ma get mine / 

[Bridge x 2] 

[Verse 2] 
I almost bought a place to live where there was nowhere to eat for miles / 
And my next-door neighbor was a fucking pedophile / 
I wasn’t into the way he’d like to treat a child / 
Still I was tempted cos the bathroom had heated tiles / 

Apparently Parliament House wasn’t for rent / 
I had a quick chat to the PM then got me some head / 
Then we jumped into bed and she showed me what her mother gave her / 
Making Julia Gillard cum now that was fucking labor / 

She asked me for some advice that would stun the people / 
I said keep guns illegal but make gunja legal / 
Whop, I got a little side tracked, my bad / 
Back to the search for a nice pad / 

It got me thinking of the days where I finally get a house / 
Think of all the things I can do when I settle down / 
I might start a rumor that I mastered tuba / 
And then spread that people who aren’t into brass are losers / 

I might find a cow paddock that is suitable / 
Bring a fucking tuxedo along and try to suit a bull / 
And I need a place that I could put my pot plants / 
I also need a place that I could put my pot plants / 

Yeah I got plans and if it’s in God’s hands / 
He’s probably thinking “God damn that’s a lot man” / 
But I’ll be counting my money in my Calvin Klein undies / 
In a house with nine dunnies out in mountain bike country, yeah / 

[Chorus x 2]
