Dedicated Lyrics - Fort Minor

I have a dream 

Of a scene between the green hills 

Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed 

People don't talk about keeping it real 

It's understood that they actually will 

And intoxicated and stimulated emcees 

Staring in the trees 

Paranoid 

Are gone in the breeze 

Watch them flee 

Hip hop heads 

Take a walk with me 

And what you'll see is a land 

Where the sand's made of crushed up wax 

And the sky beyond you is krylon blue 

And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme 

Emcees have left materialism behind them 

Meanwhile I just grip my mic 

And hope me and my team make it through alright 

Because say what you will 

And say what you might 

But dont ignore who it's for 

At the end of the night 

Because this is dedicated to the kids 

Dedicated to wherever music lives 

Dedicated to those tired of the same old same 

And dedicated to the people advancing the game 

What's real is the kids who know that somethings wrong 

What's real is the kids who think they don't belong 

What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run 

Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun 

I've seen a lot of shit 

I've talked to a bum out on sunset strip 

He asked me how would you feel 

If everybody acted like you didn't exist 

You'd lose your grip 

Probably eventually flip 

So let it be known 

The only reason that we do this 

Is so you can pick it up 

And just bang your head to it 

While emcees fight to see who could be the commonest 

We float overhead like a space odyssey monolith 

Overseeing the game 

Over being part of the same 

Old thing it's all gonna change 

In a hurricane of darkness and pain 

In acidic rain and promises you won't do it again 

Meanwhile I just grip my mic 

And hope me and my team make it through alright 

Because say what you will 

And say what you might 

But dont ignore who it's for 

At the end of the night 

Because this is dedicated to the kids 

Dedicated to wherever music lives 

Dedicated to those tired of the same old same 

And dedicated to the people advancing the game 

What's real is the kids who know that somethings wrong 

What's real is the kids who think they don't belong 

What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run 

Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun 

Pulling me close the shadow is warm inside 

This is where I feel at home this is my place to hide 

Pulling me close the shadow is warm inside 

This is where I feel at home this is my place to hide 

This is dedicated to the kids 

Dedicated to wherever music lives 

Dedicated to those tired of the same old same 

And dedicated to the people advancing the game 

What's real is the kids who know that somethings wrong 

What's real is the kids who think they don't belong 

What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run 

Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun 

This is dedicated to the kids 

Dedicated to wherever music lives 

Dedicated to those tired of the same old same 

And dedicated to the people advancing the game 

What's real everybody who doesn't feel safe 

What's real everybody who knows they're out of place 

What's real everybody with nowhere to run 

Who will hide from the shadows waiting for the sun
