Keep It Real (Interlude)

[Spoken Intro: Q Parker]

We'd like to do another song for you

Is that alright? Is that all right?

Alright, this song was written for Puffy

In dedication

Just letting him know that we really appreciate all he's done

So Puff, this is for you, man

Continue to keep it real

[Verse - Mike]

You just don't know

The way you make us feel

Through your work

And through your vision

So young, Black and gifted, oh, oh

Mary J's love was real (Real)

Notorious B.I.G., B.I.G

Craig Mack's the brand new flavor, mmm

And Jodeci, forever my lady

Ooh yeah, baby

112

[Slim]

They just don't know

The pains of being real

When the world is being exempted

From being young, Black and gifted, oh, oh, oh

It seems so hard

To sing it as we feel

People change just like the seasons

Without reasons people try to keep it real
