Hearts In The Hood

  1. **HEARTS IN THE HOOD**
  2.  
  3.  
  4. (Chorus)
  5.  
  6. I seen love in the corner where the sirens sing at night,
  7.  
  8. You held my cold hands while the block was lookin' like a fight.
  9.  
  10. Roses on the porch, but the thorns cut deep in the light,
  11.  
  12. Hearts in the hood, baby, we survive, we ride or die tonight.
  13.  
  14.  
  15. (Verse 1)
  16.  
  17. Met you by the stoop, rain hittin' tin roof steady,
  18.  
  19. You had that tired smile, sayin' you been waitin' already.
  20.  
  21. Mama warned you 'bout these streets, daddy gone like the seasons,
  22.  
  23. But you stayed through my bad days, never asked too many reasons.
  24.  
  25. I came with empty pockets, heavy hat, colder shoulders,
  26.  
  27. You warmed my nights with promises, whispered plans and folders.
  28.  
  29. Shots pop two blocks over while we countin' late confessions,
  30.  
  31. You traced my scars, kissed the pain, patched my worst transgressions.
  32.  
  33. We kept it on low, baby, had secrets like a cipher,
  34.  
  35. Trust slow burn, heart leathered up like a fighter.
  36.  
  37.  
  38. (Chorus)
  39.  
  40. I seen love in the corner where the sirens sing at night,
  41.  
  42. You held my cold hands while the block was lookin' like a fight.
  43.  
  44. Roses on the porch, but the thorns cut deep in the light,
  45.  
  46. Hearts in the hood, baby, we survive, we ride or die tonight.
  47.  
  48.  
  49. (Verse 2)
  50.  
  51. Court dates and late nights, I wore your name on my breath,
  52.  
  53. You fed me hope through the letters, prayed on freedom and death.
  54.  
  55. Neighbors talk loud, they think they know the chapters we hid,
  56.  
  57. But they don't see the way you steady me when everything slid.
  58.  
  59. I promised change, then the streets pulled hard at my sleeve,
  60.  
  61. You dug through my lies, found the truth like a thief.
  62.  
  63. We argued on the rooftop, cold wind tryin' to split us,
  64.  
  65. You said "stay or go" —I said "stay", even when it risked us.
  66.  
  67. Love ain't roses and dinners, it's patchin' wounds at dawn,
  68.  
  69. It's keepin' faith when the world say we already gone.
  70.  
  71.  
  72. (Bridge)
  73.  
  74. Hold on, baby, when the night get thick and the wolves howl loud,
  75.  
  76. We keep faith in the dark, build our peace far from the crowd.
  77.  
  78. I might fall back into old ways, but you pull me to the light,
  79.  
  80. Hearts in the hood, we learn to fight for love, not just for pride.
  81.  
  82.  
  83. (Chorus)
  84.  
  85. I seen love in the corner where the sirens sing at night,
  86.  
  87. You held my cold hands while the block was lookin' like a fight.
  88.  
  89. Roses on the porch, but the thorns cut deep in the light,
  90.  
  91. Hearts in the hood, baby, we survive, we ride or die tonight.
  92.  
  93.  
  94. (Verse 3 —Outro)
  95.  
  96. Now the baby laugh echoes through the hallway at sunrise,
  97.  
  98. Your tired eyes glow softer, we count blessings, no disguise.
  99.  
  100. Still got enemies on corners, old debts tryin' to collect,
  101.  
  102. But you and me, we movin' different, mama taught us respect.
  103.  
  104. If the world wanna test us, let it bring the noise and the flood,
  105.  
  106. You my anchor, my reason, my peace when I'm covered in mud.
  107.  
  108. We plant roses in the rubble, watch somethin' real grow,
  109.  
  110. Hearts in the hood —forever ours, that's how the story go.
  111.  
  112.  
  113. (Ad libs)
  114.  
  115. Yeah, ay—ride or die, baby.
  116.  
  117. Hold me close—don't let go.
  118.  
  119. We good—through it all.
