Sometimes I don't get a chance to really to tell you
But I promise you my love I'll 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
And 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 you're backs on the wall there's a shortage of friends
You know that I'm with you till the end

'Cause we got hood love, cause I be cussin' I be screaming
Like its over
Then I'm loving 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
How feel love?
Well I'm with ya never quit ya and
Now that's real love
When your not here then I miss ya cuz
I still love the way we do
You know that hood love is the good love
Ya that's me and you

Sometimes I think about leaving you
But wen I think about what we've been through
I get a feeling like it could be worse
'Cause I've given u my best and I don't mind it
That's fine
'Cause wen you loving somebody hard then you'll love that way for life
You got all of my heart and I'll never leave ya side
I gave my words to love all the way to the end
So no matter what I'll be right here
I'll be right here with you

'Cause we got hood love, cause I be cussing I be screaming
Like its over
Then I'm loving then I'm feening just to hold ya
And that's how we do
You know that hood love is the good love
That's me and you
How feel love?
Well I'm with ya never quit ya and
Now that's real love
When your not here then I miss ya cause
I still love the way that we do
You know that hood love is the good love
Ya that's me and you

Now I'll play tough but not for too long
You are someone I depend on
No matter how I act sometimes I can never walk away
Thought about it plenty times but no can take ya place

Ooh and there ain't no you, then there ain't no me
And if there ain't no us then I'd rather be by myself
'Cause no one else can understand my history and treat me like I need

'Cause we got hood love, cause I be cussing I be screaming
Like its over
Then I'm loving then I'm feening just to hold ya
And that's how we do
You know that hood love is the good love
That's me and you
How feel love?
Well I'm with ya never quit ya and
Now that's real love
When your not here then I miss ya cuz
I still love the way we do
You know that hood love is the good love
Ya that's me and you
