Chords

[Verse 1]
          Cm
I have a dream of a scene between the green hills

 Cm
Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed

 Cm
People don't talk about keeping it real

           Cm
It's understood that they actually will

          Cm
And intoxicated and stimulated MCs

                Cm
Staring in the trees, paranoid, are gone in the breeze

Cm
Watch them flee, hip-hop heads

       Cm
Take a walk with me and what you'll see

      Cm
Is a land where the sand is made up of crushed up wax

        Cm
And the sky beyond you is krylon blue

     Cm
And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme

    Cm
And MCs have left materialism behind them
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm
Meanwhile, I just grip my mic

         Cm
And hope me and my team make it through alright

         Cm
Because say what you will and say what you might

           Cm
But don't ignore who it's for at the end of the night
[Chorus]
        Cm
Because this is dedicated to the kids

          D
Dedicated to wherever music lives

             Ab
Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same

        Gm
And dedicated to the people advancing the game

       Cm
What's real is the kids who know that something's wrong

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

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

          Gm
Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun
[Verse 2]
     Cm
I've seen a lot of ****, I've talked to a bum

       Cm
Out on Sunset Strip, he asked me, "How would you feel

   Cm
If everybody acted like you didn't exist?

                Cm
You'd lose your grip, probably eventually flip"

          Cm
So let it be known, the only reason that we do this

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

     Cm
While MCs fight to see who can be the commonest

   Cm
Be floating overhead like a space odyssey monolith

Cm                                    Dm
Over seeing the game, over being part of the same old thing

                           Ab
It's all gonna change in a hurricane of darkness and pain

           Gm
And acidic rain and promises that you won't do it again
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm                 F
Meanwhile, I just grip my mic

        Dm                      D
And hope me and my team make it through alright

        Ab
Because say what you will and say what you might

           Cm
But don't ignore who it's for at the end of the night
[Chorus]
        Cm
Because this is dedicated to the kids

          D
Dedicated to wherever music lives

             Ab
Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same

        Gm
And dedicated to the people advancing the game

       Cm
What's real is the kids who know that something's wrong

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

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

          Gm
Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun
[Bridge]
Cm Dm                                         Ab
   Pulling me close, the shadow is warm inside

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

Dm                                         Ab
Pulling me close, the shadow is warm inside

                 G
This is where I feel at home, this is my place to hide
[Chorus]
Cm
This is dedicated to the kids

          D
Dedicated to wherever music lives

             Ab
Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same

        Gm
And dedicated to the people advancing the game

       Cm
What's real is the kids who know that something's wrong

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

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

          Gm
Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun

Cm
This is dedicated to the kids

          D
Dedicated to wherever music lives

             Ab
Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same

        Gm
And dedicated to the people advancing the game

       Cm
What's real is the kids who know that something's wrong

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

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

          Gm
Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun
