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

(Hook)

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
