Mary J. Blige - Hood Love Lyrics

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?
Right now 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

'Cause when your back's on the wall
And there's a shortage of friends
You know that I'm with you
Until the end

We got hood love
I be cussin', I be screamin'
Like it's over
Then I'm longin', then I'm feeling
Just to hold ya

'Cause that's how we do
You know that hood love is good love
That's me and you

How you feel love?
When I'm with you, never quit you
Now that's real love
When you ain't here then I miss you

'Cause I still love
The way that we do
You know that hood love is good love
That's me and you

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 worst
'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 you
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

We got hood love
I be cussin', I be screamin'
Like it's over
Then I'm longin', then I'm feeling
Just to hold ya

'Cause that's how we do
You know that hood love is good love
That's me and you

How you feel love?
When I'm with you, never quit you
Now that's real love
When you ain't here then I miss you

'Cause I still love
The way that we do
You know that hood love is good love
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 at times
I could never walk away
I thought about it plenty times
But no one could take your place

Well, if 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 know just what I need
And really understand me

We got hood love
I be cussin', I be screamin'
Like it's over
Then I'm longin', then I'm feeling
Just to hold ya

'Cause that's how we do
You know that hood love is good love
That's me and you

How you feel love?
When I'm with you, never quit you
Now that's real love
When you ain't here then I miss you

'Cause I still love
The way that we do
You know that hood love is good love
That's me and you
