Dedicated [1999 Demo] Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]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 MCs
Staring in the trees, paranoid,
are gone in the breeze
Watch them flee, hip-hop heads
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
And MCs 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 don't ignore who it's for
at the end of the night
[E]Because thi[Am]s is dedicated to the

[Verse 2]
[Am]
kids
Dedicated to wherever [Bm]music [B]lives
Dedicated [Am]to those [F]tired of
the same old same
And dedicated to the [E]people
advancin' the game
What's [Am]real, is the kids who know
that something's wrong
What's real,
is the [Bm]kids who think [B]they don't belong
What's [Am]real,
is the [F]kids who have nowhere to run
Who are hiding in the [E]shadows,
waiting for the sun
I've [Am]seen a lot of sh-,

[Verse 3]
[Am]
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
So you can pick it up and just
bang your head to it
While MCs fight to see who
can be the commonest
We float overhead like a space
odyssey monolith
Over [D]seeing the game,
over being part [Bm]of the same [E]old thing
[B]It's all gonna [Am]change in a hurricane
[F]of darkness and pain
And acidic rain [E]and promises
you won't do it again
[Am]Meanwhile, [D]I just gri[Dm]p my mic
[D]And hope me [Bm]and my team[E]
make it [B]through alright
[Am]Because say what [F]you will,
and say what you might
But don't [Am]ig nore who it's for
at the end of the night

[Verse 4]
Because this is dedicated [Am]to the
kids
Dedicated to wherever [Bm]music [B]lives
Dedicated [Am]to those [F]tired of the
same old same
And dedicated to the [E]people
advancin' the game
What's [Am]real, is the kids who know
that something's wrong
What's real, is the [Bm]kids who think
[B]they don't be[Bm]long
What's [Am]real,
is the [F]kids who have nowhere to run
Who are hiding in the [E]shadows
waiting for the [D]sun
[Bm]Pulling me close, the shadow

[Verse 5]
[Bm]
is warm [F]inside
This [E]is where I feel at home,
this is my place [Dm]to hide[D]
[Bm]Pulling me close,
the shadow is warm [Am]inside[F]
This is where I feel [E]at home,
this is my place to hide
[Am]Because this is dedicated to

[Verse 6]
[Am]
the kids
Dedicated to wherever [E]music lives
Dedicated [Am]to those [F]tired of
the same old same
And dedicated to the [E]people
advan[Am]cin' the game
What's real, is the kids who know
that something's wrong
What's real,
is the kids who think they don't belong
What's real,
is the [F]kids who have nowhere to run
Who [Am]are hiding in the shadows
waiting for the sun

[Verse 7]
This is dedicated [Am]to the kids
Dedicated to wherever [E]music lives
Dedicated [Am]to those [F]tired of
the same old same
And dedic[E]ated to the people
advancin' the game
What's [Am]real, everybody who
doesn't feel safe
What's real, every[E]body who knows
they're out of place
What's [Am]real,
any[F]body with nowhere to run
Who hides in the [E]shadows waiting
for the [Am]sun
