[00:00.17] I have a dream of a scene between the green hills [00:03.15] Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed [00:05.60] People don't talk about keeping it real [00:07.63] It's understood that they actually will [00:09.45] And intoxicated and stimulated MCs [00:11.96] Staring in the trees, paranoid are gone in the breeze [00:14.79] Watch them flee, hip-hop heads [00:16.88] Take a walk with me and what you'll see [00:19.30] Is a land where the sand's made up of crushed up wax [00:21.69] And the sky beyond you is krylon blue [00:24.06] And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme [00:26.44] And MCs have left materialism behind them [00:28.99] Meanwhile, I just grip my mic [00:30.89] And hope me and my team make it through alright [00:33.03] Because say what you will and say what you might [00:35.30] But don't ignore who it's for at the end of the night [00:37.86] Because this is dedicated to the kids [00:39.99] Dedicated to wherever music lives [00:42.07] Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same [00:44.89] And dedicated to the people advancing the game [00:47.24] What's real? Is the kids who know that something's wrong [00:49.40] What's real? Is the kids who think they don't belong [00:51.81] What's real? Is the kids who have nowhere to run [00:54.29] Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun [00:56.61] I've seen a lot of sh-, I've talked to a bum [00:58.82] Out on Sunset Strip, he asked me, "How would you feel? [01:01.30] Everybody acted like you didn't exist? [01:03.43] You'd lose your grip and probably eventually flip" [01:05.76] So let it be known, the only reason that we do this [01:08.51] You can pick it up and just bang your head to it [01:10.52] While MCs fight to see who can be the commonest [01:13.12] Be floating overhead like a space odyssey monolith [01:15.75] Over seeing the game, over being part of the same old thing [01:18.82] It's all gonna change in a hurricane of darkness and pain [01:21.86] And acidic rain and promises you won't do it again [01:24.80] Meanwhile, I just grip my mic [01:26.79] And hope me and my team make it through alright [01:28.95] Because say what you will and say what you might [01:31.38] But don't ignore who it's for at the end of the night [01:33.79] Because this is dedicated to the kids [01:35.75] Dedicated to wherever music lives [01:38.04] Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same [01:40.64] And dedicated to the people advancing the game [01:43.14] What's real? Is the kids who know that something's wrong [01:45.44] What's real? Is the kids who think they don't belong [01:47.68] What's real? Is the kids who have nowhere to run [01:50.34] Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun [01:54.91] Pulling me close, the shadow is warm inside [01:58.97] This is where I feel at home, this is my place to hide [02:04.12] Pulling me close, the shadow is warm inside [02:08.32] This is where I feel at home, this is my place to hide [02:11.24] This is dedicated to the kids [02:13.06] Dedicated to wherever music lives [02:15.27] Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same [02:17.99] And dedicated to the people advancing the game [02:20.28] What's real? Is the kids who know that something's wrong [02:22.72] What's real? Is the kids who think they don't belong [02:24.92] What's real? Is the kids who have nowhere to run [02:27.68] Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun [02:29.88] This is dedicated to the kids [02:31.70] Dedicated to wherever music lives [02:33.10] Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same [02:36.56] And dedicated to the people advancing the game [02:39.03] What's real? Everybody who doesn't feel safe [02:41.46] What's real? Everybody who knows they're out of place [02:43.72] What's real? Anybody with nowhere to run [02:46.15] Who hides in the shadows, waiting for the sun [02:48.75]
