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:]
Coz we got hood love
I'll be cussin, I be screamin
Like it's over, then 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 wit u
Never quit u
Now that's real love
When you're not here
Then I miss you
Coz 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
Cuz I've given you my best and I don't mind it... that's fine
Coz 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 cuz we got hood love

[Chorus x2]

[Johnta Austin:]
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 aint no you
Then there aint no me
If there aint no us
Then I'd rather be
By my self
Cuz no one can
Could understand my history
And bring me back right here cuz
We got hood love

[Chorus x3]
