Hood Love

Intro

(Yeah, yeah) Hood love, real love

Ayy, we made it through the storm (through the storm)

Verse

Grew up on the block where the streetlights flicker low

Mama workin' double shifts, prayin' we don't go

Pops gone early, left us dreamin' 'bout a better day

But you showed up, turned the concrete to a runway

Hand in hand, dodgin' potholes, sharin' every bite

Laughin' at the rain, dancin' under corner lights

You my ride-or-die, no keys, just heart and soul

Through the sirens wailin', we keep our love whole

Homies on the stoop, noddin' as we pass by

They see the glow, know this bond don't die

From the corner store dreams to the rooftop stars

You whisper promises, mendin' all my scars

We grind together, buildin' empires from nothin'

No silver spoons, just pure hustle and lovin'

Eyes locked tight, in a world that's cold and rough

Your touch my anchor, yeah, this hood love enough

Chorus

Baby, in this hood life, you my safe place

Hold me close, wipe the struggle from my face

We rise above, yeah, we rise above (rise above)

Your love my light, in the hood we tough (we tough)

Oh, hood love, real love, never fade

Through the pain, we stay, promises we made

Hood love, yeah, hood love (hood love)

Forever us, against the world, we brave

Verse

Late nights schemin', plottin' ways to break the chain

You draw me close, turn my fears into sweet rain

Projects echo with our laughter, bouncin' off the walls

No fancy rides, but your arms catch me when I fall

Sippin' on ambition, chasin' sunsets from the hill

You my queen, crown of wildflowers, keep it real

Dodgin' all the drama, we carve our own lane

Two hearts beatin' strong, through the joy and pain

Friends come and go, but you my constant vibe

In the thick of it, keep my spirit alive

From pawn shop hopes to savin' every dime

Your smile my fortune, worth more than any shine

We dream of wide open, leavin' dust behind

But right here, right now, this love perfectly timed

Ayy, skrrt past the doubts, yuh, we own the night

Hood romance, pure fire, holdin' on tight

Chorus

Baby, in this hood life, you my safe place

Hold me close, wipe the struggle from my face

We rise above, yeah, we rise above (rise above)

Your love my light, in the hood we tough (we tough)

Oh, hood love, real love, never fade

Through the pain, we stay, promises we made

Hood love, yeah, hood love (hood love)

Forever us, against the world, we brave

Bridge

(Yeah) What if we make it? Leave the block in the rearview

You and me, baby, turnin' nothin' into somethin' true

No more worries weighin', just us flyin' free

Hood love forever, that's the key (that's the key)

Chorus

Baby, in this hood life, you my safe place

Hold me close, wipe the struggle from my face

We rise above, yeah, we rise above (rise above)

Yo
