We Got Hood Love
Mary J. Blige
Stronger With Each Tear (2009)

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 test 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 fiening 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 fiening 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 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 fiening 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
