Dedicated (1999 Demo) Lyrics » Linkin Park
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
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
Take a walk with me and what you’ll see
Is a land where the sand is made up 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
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
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
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Because this is dedicated to the kids
Dedicated to wherever music lives
Dedicated to those tired of the same ol’ same
And dedicated to the people advancing 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 kids who have nowhere to run
Who are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sun

About Linkin Park’s Dedicated (1999 Demo) from Hybrid Theory EP (Different Version) (1999)
Dedicated is a demo that was recorded in 1999 by Linkin Park. It is featured on LP Underground 2.0 that was released for the Linkin Park Underground community.
In this song, Mike fantasizes about a world where hip hop is not about the money but about the message and urges his listeners and emcees to make music of integrity reaching out to future generations. Unfortunately, many hip hop artists seem to be more about the money, drugs and themselves than integrity, creativity and emotion:
The demo itself has been sampled over the song “It’s Goin’ Down” by The X-Ecutioners featuring Mike Shinoda and Joseph Hahn of Linkin Park. Mike rapped a unreleased verse togheter with the full song on a Wake Up Show freestyle with Rakka.
Unreleased Verse (Lyrics)
You bet, hostile when I’m rapping to you
Got you askin God how he let this happen to you
Bringin’ on the fat lady and the fat man too
Shoot ‘em both out of a cannon over katmandu
If your sleepin’, I’m knocking out the sandman too
Il’l beat the yellow out of you until your black and blue, laughed at you and any emcee who wants to scuffle to the challenger emcee and the challenger space shuttle
Emcees so mixed up, their bones are pulling muscles
And their bladders leaking out and down their leg into a puddle
What’s that? Letting you flag survival tactically, you wanna battle me you better start thinking practically
Line after line, casually rhyming this rapidly, and inamous, you never get a change to bust back at me
