Hood Love
Trey Songz · Other Songs - Trey Songz
Sometimes I don't get a chance to really tell you
But I promise you my love will never fail you
Don't you get it?
Each day we're writing history
A thousand years from now
They'll talk about you and me
I know sometimes I go hard
For no reason at all
Put your soul through the business
And touch the weight of your heart
But when your back's on the wall
And there's a shortage of friends
You know that I'm with you until the end
[Chorus:]
Cause we got hood love
I be cussin I be screamin
Like it's over them I'm lovin
Then I'm feeling just to hold ya
And that's how we do
You know that hood love is the good love
That's me and you
So how you feel love?
Well I'm with u
Never quit u
Now that's real love
When you're not here
Then I miss you
Cause I still love
The way that we do
You know that hood love is the good love
That's me and you
[Mary J. Blige:]
Sometimes I think about leaving you
But when I think about what we've been through yeah
I get a feeling like it could be the worse
Cause I've given you my best and I don't mind it... that's fine
Cause when you love somebody hard then you'll love that way for life
You got all of my heart
And I'll never leave your side
I gave my word to love ya
All the way to the end
So no matter what I'll be right here
I'll be right here cause we got hood love
[Chorus x2]
[Trey Songz:]
Now I'll play tough but not for too long
You are someone I depend on
No matter how I act at times
I could never walk away
I thought about it plenty times
But no one can take your place
[Mary J. Blige:]
Well if there ain't no you
Then there ain't no me
If there ain't no us
Then I'd rather be
By my self
Cause no one can
Could understand my history
And bring me back right here cause
We got hood love
[Chorus]
