Ride For This Love

They pray that we fall

They wait on my grave

They talk when it’s safe

But they’re quiet face to face (yeah)

You were with me in the stairwell

Back when rent was late

Food was scarce

They were laughing at the same clothes

You were stitching up the same tears

We were splitting one plate

One dream

One coat

Two ghosts in the steam

Every rumor hit your phone first

You just showed me

Said

“breathe”

Love like this

We ride in a pack

If they come for your heart

I’m coming right back

Let ’em talk

Let ’em hate

Let ’em throw that shade

We turn every side-eye into our parade

Love like this

That ride-or-die blood

If it’s war for your name

Then I’m in that mud

They can point

They can laugh

They can pray we’re through

Whole world against us

I still choose you (yeah)

They don’t know the nights in the ER

Hands red

Eyes dry

You were there

They don’t know we shared one charger

So your phone stayed on for my care

Now they whisper that you changed me

Say I’m softer

Lost my edge

Funny how they fear a calm man

With a queen who guards his head

Love like this

We ride in a pack

If they come for your heart

I’m coming right back

Let ’em talk

Let ’em hate

Let ’em throw that shade

We turn every side-eye into our parade

Love like this

That ride-or-die blood

If it’s war for your name

Then I’m in that mud

They can point

They can laugh

They can pray we’re through

Whole world against us

I still choose you (oh yeah)

If they circle you

I circle too

Same smoke

Same storm

Same view

If they curse your name

They curse mine

I don’t switch

I don’t split sides

Love like this

We ride in a pack

If they come for your heart

I’m coming right back

Let ’em talk

Let ’em hate

Let ’em throw that shade

We turn every side-eye into our parade

Love like this

That ride-or-die blood

If it’s war for your name

Then I’m in that mud

They can point

They can laugh

They can pray we’re through

Whole world against us

I still choose you
