From the recording I'd Still Come Back to You (Trap Music)
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you remember when we had no bread, just dreams?
Cold nights, bus rides, ripped jeans, no sleep
Everybody talked like they knew my route
You were the only one there when the lights went out
Young boy, bad temper, heart full of smoke
Whole ends knew my name, but you knew me close
Had snakes in the grass, had friends turn ghost
Still you held me down when I needed you most
I was outside tryna turn pain into pounds
You were the calm when the madness came round
Never switched sides when the pressure got peak
You knew what I meant when I couldn't even speak
Now they see the glow and they wanna come near
But you knew my face when there was nothing to cheer
Before the nice cars, before the whole wave
You loved that broke kid who had nothing but faith
[Chorus]
You and I, that's forever, no cap
If the whole world folds, I still got your back
First time we touched, I felt something change
Now your name runs deep like blood in my veins
If it's war, if it's pressure, if everything breaks
I'm still pulling up for you, whatever it takes
From the cold little flats to the life that we made
You're my one, you're my ride, and that won't ever change
[Verse 2]
Remember that night when the whole block slept?
You looked in my eyes, said, "Don't lose yourself"
I laughed like I'm good, but you knew I was stressed
Had rage in my chest, had weight on my head
I told you, "One day I'ma give you the world"
You said, "I don't need that, just stay my boy"
That's when I knew you were built different too
Most want the shine, you just wanted what's true
Seen bros turn strange when the money came quick
Seen love turn cold over petty little shit
Seen girls chase names, seen loyalty bend
That's why I don't call everybody my friend
But you were there through the grime and rain
Through the late-night talks and the days full of pain
If I ever went quiet, you knew my mood
Never had to ask twice, you already knew
I don't make promises I can't provide
But if I say you're mine, then I'm standing beside
No half-love energy, no halfway thing
If I gave you my heart, that's a permanent link
[Chorus]
You and I, that's forever, no cap
If the whole world folds, I still got your back
First time we touched, I felt something change
Now your name runs deep like blood in my veins
If it's war, if it's pressure, if everything breaks
I'm still pulling up for you, whatever it takes
From the cold little flats to the life that we made
You're my one, you're my ride, and that won't ever change
[Verse 3]
When we're old and the fast life slows
I'll still pull you close when the cold wind blows
Same hands, same eyes, same girl I chose
Still stealing your side of the bed, God knows
I don't need options, I've seen how that ends
Too many fake hearts dressed up as friends
You know every scar that I hide with pride
Every dark little thought that I keep inside
We survived things people don't know about
Times I lost faith, times I had doubts
You never ran when the road got mad
Never used my weak days against what we had
That's rare where I'm from, so I guard that tight
Real love ain't captions and candlelight
It's staying when your man's got nothing to give
It's choosing the same person through how hard life gets
So if you ask where that young love went
It's right here, just stronger than it was back then
We ain't those kids, but the code remains
You're still my home when the whole world changes
[Chorus]
You and I, that's forever, no cap
If the whole world folds, I still got your back
First time we touched, I felt something change
Now your name runs deep like blood in my veins
If it's war, if it's pressure, if everything breaks
I'm still pulling up for you, whatever it takes
From the cold little flats to the life that we made
You're my one, you're my ride, and that won't ever change
