Scribe enters the Australian charts at Number 25. If you want to know why the Lyrical Bro from Xchurch is doing so well check out his Lyrics to Dreaming:
"dream, I didn't care about pay, I sacrificed late nights and going out with my friends, Just to stay home alone with my pad and my pen, Had my eyes on my prize, my mind on my goal, As I carved these rhymes out with my heart and my soul, I didn't have a CD, all I had was a tape, On the dole, through my flow was my only escape, From a world where they didn't want to see me prevail, Don't want to see me take it all, they'd rather see me fail, It's like...
I was down and out, struggling, Wondered how I'm gonna make it through, I got a dream (I got a dream), Holding on (I'm-a hold on), I can't let go 'cos I gotta make it come true.
Yo, I got a dream to make it big in New York, Give up the drugs and alcohol, I didn't want to distort, My vision, to be living life to the full, And I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for you, You picked me up every time that I fell, When I was going through hell, you told that me that I would prevail, You said I had exactly what it took to be great, That I was young and in the future what a man I would make, It's like, you saw something in me I couldn't see, You said I would succeed and be anything I wanted to be, I'm twenty-three and I just want to be me, Want to be free, want to be everything I can be, But I don't have many choices, can't afford to be wrong, All I do is try to stay true to the words in my song, Just don't hesitate and wait too long, 'Cos like a dream when you wake up, it's gone, It's gone...
I was down and out, Struggling, Wondered how I'm gonna make it through, (I had no money in my pockets) I got a dream, (All I had was a pad and a pen) Holding on, (It's all I ever needed) I won't let go 'cos I gotta make it come true.
Yo, It was a sunny day, and we were feeling high, Jamming the song underneath a baby-blue sky, Thinking back in the time, when we were so poor, Remember the kids used to laugh at the clothes we wore, We always knew one day, that things were gonna change And from that day I was never gonna be the same, I went to sleep that night, I dreamt I touched the sky, And ever since I been trying to keep my dream alive, So when you see the Scribe, dropping the iller rhyme, Defining how I'm living mine, in this day and time, I'm working 9-to-5, I'm slaving over beats, It's hard work living the dream, I hardly ever sleep, I'm in the rhythm deep, yo, just trying to do my thing, It's funny when you're shining people hate to see the gleam, No matter what they say, keep on doing what you do, And don't give up 'cos only you can make that dream come true, It's like...
I was down and out (I was way out), Struggling, Wondered how I'm gonna make it through, I got a dream, Holding on, I can't let go 'cos I gotta make it come true.
I was down and out... Wondered how... I got a dream... I won't let go 'cos I got..."

"We're going to the UK after this Australian tour but we don't have any big plans to try and take on America. That's something we don't really care about. We just enjoy doing it in our own country. There's a big enough scene over here, so if it happens it happens. We've just gotten lots of interest from the UK lately; now they're putting one of our tracks on a Ribena ad. I'm the Scribe 'cos I always write"
