Hood Love

Trey Songz · Other Songs - Trey Songz

[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]
