Madd World (Interlude)

It's what we face in these streets every day
 I ain't heard no one say it would be easy
 If I could bounce out this bitch, believe me, I would
 But no matter how tough it gets I still claim my hood
 It's what we face in these streets every day
 I ain't heard no one say it would be easy
 If I could bounce out this bitch, believe me, I would
 But no matter how tough it gets I still claim my hood
 I was born to the world, born to the drama; I was born to the streets
 Born to the anger, born as a stranger, in a world with no peace
 Never had a choice,
 never knew nothing more than a war that I wish would cease
 Man I was forced to a world gone madd,
 forced to deal with the pain and the grief
 All I ever seen growing up is
 shootings and young mothers out prostituting
 Everybody feuding lives left ruined
 stuck in a world of mass confusion so
 What was I to do? All I know is what I'm doing
 I wasn't put down here with a manual, answers or resolutions but
 The streets embraced me in a world where we all gone crazy
 And it gave me that fatherly love I needed daily
 You can say I'm shady and hate me but you can't blame me
 Cuz I'm hood but I'm gunna be hood until they take me
 (Hook)
 It's what we face in these streets every day
 I ain't heard no one say it would be easy
 If I could bounce out this bitch, believe me, I would
 But no matter how tough it gets I still claim my hood
 It's what we face in these streets every day
 I ain't heard no one say it would be easy
 If I could bounce out this bitch, believe me, I would
 But no matter how tough it gets I still claim my hood
 I'm a product of a world so cruel,
 Like Flesh Bone but I had my crew
 I had my click when shit got thick
 growing up they taught me like a father do
 They're all I ever knew
 I had their back and they had mine too
 If they had they gat then I had mine too
 They taught me life in a world confused
 If you was in my shoes then you'd know what I see every day
 Know what it is to live in the pain
 then you'd know why we live this way
 Unless you're blind like Ray, then you see all the anger and rage
 All the feuds and the hate displayed all the struggle in the USA
 I shed tears for the homies locked up and the ones in the grave
 But I hold my head high and show that I ain't afraid by
 Staying down for the niggaz that stayed and never strayed
 And staying loyal to the gang until I pass away

 It's what we face in these streets every day
 I ain't heard no one say it would be easy
 If I could bounce out this bitch, believe me, I would
 But no matter how tough it gets I still claim my hood
