Ghetto Love

{sub-bass drone} Yeah, yeah (hmmmm) {clean rhodes

chords} (uh-huh) We grew up where the streetlights flicker cold

Now we're turning silver into ghetto gold

You stayed down when the winter hit the block

Kept me grounded while I'm chasing after the clock

They don't understand the way we make it work

Finding beauty buried underneath the dirt

(underneath the dirt) {snare rolls build} This is ghetto love,

shining in the dark

From the concrete floor we built a spark

Hood melody singing through the pain

We can stand together in the rain

(yeah-yeah) {full rich vocal harmony} Late night drives,

talking on the boulevard

No money in our pockets but we're living large

You know my secrets,

you know all my flaws

We survived the sirens and the local laws

{melodic ad-libs} This is ghetto love,

shining in the dark

From the concrete floor we built a spark

Hood melody singing through the pain

We can stand together in the rain

(oh-whoa) {soaring

falsetto

lead}

Hood melody...

(hmmmm) Ghetto love...

We made it out of the cold

{instrumental fades} {rhodes chord trails

off}
