Dedicated (LPU Rarities) (1999 Demo)
[00:00.00]I have a dream of a scene
[00:01.53]between the green hills
[00:03.17]Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed
[00:05.22]People don't talk about keeping it real
[00:07.31]It's understood that they actually will
[00:09.28]And intoxicated and stimulated emcees
[00:11.88]Staring in the trees paranoid or caught
[00:13.30] in the breeze
[00:14.57]Watch them flee hip-hop hits
[00:16.55]Take a walk with me and what you'll see
[00:18.71]Is a land where the sand is made up of
[00:20.49] crushed up wax
[00:21.58]And the sky beyond you is krylon blue
[00:23.87]And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme
[00:25.61]And emcees have left materialism behind them
[00:28.60]Meanwhile I just grip my mic
[00:30.49]And hope me and my team make it
[00:31.96]through alright
[00:32.93]Because say what you will and say
[00:34.25] what you might
[00:35.27]But don't ignore who it's for at
[00:36.64]the end of the night
[00:37.76]Because this is dedicated to the kids
[00:39.74]Dedicated to where the music lives
[00:42.00]Dedicated to those tired of
[00:43.06]the same old same
[00:44.83]And dedicated to the people advanced
[00:45.95]in the game
[00:47.16]What's real is the kids who know
[00:48.43]that something's wrong
[00:49.40]What's real is the kids who think
[00:50.68]they don't belong
[00:51.85]What's real is the kids
[00:52.71] who have nowhere to run
[00:54.16]Who are hiding in the shadows
[00:55.23]waiting for the sun
[00:56.80]I've seen a lot of ****
[00:57.37]I've talked to a bum
[00:58.49]Out on sunset strip he asked me
[01:00.32] How would you feel
[01:01.08]If everybody acted like you didn't exist
[01:03.47]You'd lose your grip probably eventually flip
[01:05.59]So let it be known the only reason
[01:07.07]that we do this
[01:07.76]So that you can pick it up and
[01:09.19] just bang your head to it
[01:10.04]While emcees fight to see who can be
[01:11.93] the commonist
[01:13.25]Be floatin overhead like a space odyssey monolith
[01:15.49]Over seeing the game over being part of
[01:17.17]the same old thing
[01:18.53]It's all gonna change in a hurricane of
[01:19.95] darkness and pain
[01:21.68]And acidic rain and promises
[01:23.08] that you won't do it again
[01:24.65]Meanwhile I just grip my mic
[01:26.09]And hope me and my team make
[01:27.88]it through alright
