What's Real Lyrics - Singles - Fort Minor

I have a dream of a scene between the green hills 

the clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed 

people dont talk about keepin it real, 

(it's understood that they actually will.) 

an intoxicated and stimulated MC starin in the trees 

paranoid or caught in the breeze, 

watch them flee, 

hip hop pets 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 chrylon blue 

and everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme 

MC's 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... 

(Chorus) 

This is dedicated to the kids 

dedicated to where the music lives 

dedicated to those who are tired of the same old same 

dedicated to the people advanced in the game 

what's real? is the kids that know that something's wrong 

what's real? is the kids who think they dont 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, 

you're the only reason that we do this 

is so you can pick it up and just bang your head to it 

While MC's fight to see who can be the commonest 

We'd float overhead like a space odyssey monolith 

Overseein the game, over bein part of the same old thing 

it's all gonna change in a hurricane 

darkness and pain, and acidic rain 

and promises you worked away the game 

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... 

(Chorus) 

This is dedicated to the kids 

dedicated to where the music lives 

dedicated to those who are tired of the same old same 

dedicated to the people advanced in the game 

what's real? is the kids that know that something's wrong 

what's real? is the kids who think they dont belong 

what's real? is the kids who have nowhere to run 

who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun.
