[Intro]
They pray that we fall
They wait on my grave
They talk when it’s safe
But they’re quiet face to face (yeah)
[Verse 1]
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”
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
