[Verse 1]
I don't want your penthouse view
Suit and tie
That ain't my truth
I want tattoos on a Sunday
Hood love in the hallway
You keep flashin' all that gold
But your heart feelin' so cold
Give me traffic tickets
Torn seats
Blessed up
Cookin' in the backstreet
[Chorus]
I want a hood man
Not a rich man (yeah)
I want that chocolate
All that melanin
Don't need your table at the boardroom
Need a baby daddy textin' "on my way soon"
I want a hood man
Not a rich man
I want that real love
Not that rich plan
Keep your praise from the system in your hand
I want a hood man
Not a rich man
[Verse 2]
He got child support in his phone (mm)
But he still call them babies "home"
He might pull up late from the night shift
But he hold me tight like a tight fist
You got money but you never there
He got problems but he really care
I'd rather argue in a small place
Than feel alone in a big space
[Chorus]
I want a hood man
Not a rich man (oh)
I want that chocolate
All that melanin
Don't need your table at the boardroom
Need a baby daddy textin' "on my way soon"
I want a hood man
Not a rich man
I want that real love
Not that rich plan
Keep your praise from the system in your hand
I want a hood man
Not a rich man
[Bridge]
Keep your clean hands off me
I want knuckles with a story
He ain't perfect
But he show up
I want drama
I want grown love
Keep your clean hands off me
I want knuckles with a story
He ain't perfect
But he show up
I want drama
I want grown love (yeah)
[Chorus]
I want a hood man
Not a rich man
I want that chocolate
All that melanin
Don't need your table at the boardroom
Need a baby daddy textin' "on my way soon"
I want a hood man
Not a rich man
I want that real love
Not that rich plan
Keep your praise from the system in your hand
I want a hood man
Not a rich man
