Keep It Real (Interlude)

We'd like to do another song for you
Is that alright? (Yes, yes)
Is that alright?
Alright, this song was written for Puffy

In dedication
Just lettin' him know that we really appreciate all he's done
So Puff, this is for you, man
Continue to keep it real

Mmm, 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 (ooh, yeah, baby) 112
They just don't know (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

Mm, mm, mm
Oh, oh
Gotta keep it real
