Hood Man, Not a Rich Man

[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

Slow, sultry R&B groove at midtempo with warm Rhodes chords, deep sub bass, and tight, swinging drums; female vocals laid right on top, airy harmonies in the hook, subtle vocal runs between lines. Second verse adds muted guitar flicks and stacked backgrounds, bridge strips to Rhodes and snaps before the final chorus blooms with ad-libs and call‑and‑response., rich, r&b, drama
