Young Love (feat. Otieno Terry & Ariana DeBoo)

Just me and you and a $20 bill

Some cheap wine and a dirty hotel

We on the road and we roll so well

Always order to go, can’t compose ourselves

Young Love, your momma wasn’t proud

Your pops almost shot me running out of the house

He knew we got down, down, we got down

When I stumbled out your blouse bubblegum on my mouth

We on the interstate now no luck for miles

Nothing but us around

Catch shade from the sun every once in awhile

I hate how we struggle but I love how you smile

So as long as we together, we forever

Even the preacher couldn’t pray for nothing better

I swear to God, God. Take your sweater off

Let me heat you up, I’ll eat chu up and get you off

Turn the television off, I just wanna talk

I just wanna say everything will be okay

Even when the dinner plate got nothing but scraps

We gone keep on hustling until we get a fucking break, eh

Please believe that

There's nothing in the world that will stop young love

Ooo, don’t question what you feel

When you know it’s real

Your heart will take you

Where you need to be, my love

I know you’re scared

To listen to the way you feel

Remember you don’t stand alone

You don’t stand alone no

Real deal, real love

No lies when you riding on the rug

No sleep when you trying to get a mill

Might sell my soul if the devil make a deal

18 // Big dreams

Me and my lady the next King and Queen

But there’s so much going on in between

I don’t know if I’ma be the pawn or the king

Shit is deep. You chasing dreams? Take a seat

You and me both on the ropes it seems

No room for the youth in the future still?

Too young for a job but old enough to kill

My lady on the pill, cause the world ain’t ready

For another brown baby born revolutionary

I wanna marry this girl

No money for a ring so ima stick up the world

Cause I gotta get the funds

For a nice car, big house, backyard, front lawn

She say she don’t need it but it’s what they all want

Stay American Dreamin’ until the gas won’t pump

Remember when we first made love?

Remember when the checks ain’t come?

Afraid to go home cause you got laid off

And my hustle wasn’t working so I got a day job

Life is hard, especially when we on our own

But it’s nothing when you love her, you together grow

Through it all - I just wanna make it work

Trying to take flight before they put us in the dirt

Forreal

I feel like the youth gotta fight for our lives right now

But they ain’t gon stop us

Cause they can’t stop love

And even though every day it seems like life is getting harder

If I had to put my money on anything

I’d put my money on the future

Young love

Don’t question what you feel

When you know it’s real

Your heart will take you

Where you need to be, my love

I know you’re scared

To listen to the way you feel

Remember you don’t stand alone

You don’t stand alone no
