[Intro]
Yeah, slow groove, midnight truth, I’m listening to the echoes of us.
[Verse 1]
I walk the block with a chalk-outline of night,
You glow in the church lights, I roll with street lights.
Different routes, same city, same city beat,
You hum a hymn, I drop a slow groove on the street.
I wear the scars of the corners I roam,
You wear grace like a home you call your own.
You talk about faith; I talk about faith in grind,
Two worlds collide when hearts start to unwind.
I’m a thug in your story, but I ain’t brand new,
I’m learning to soften the edges of what I do.
If love is a map, show me the north star,
Maybe we’ll find a place where our souls aren’t far.
[Chorus]
Maybe we’re too different, but the heart can bend,
Love isn’t perfect, but it’s honest till the end.
If you’re down to teach me, I’ll try to mend.
[Verse 2]
I count it all in rhythm, you count it in prayer,
We trade glances in crowded rooms, a quiet stare.
I spit phrases in slang, you whisper in praise,
We walk through the tension of parallel ways.
Your choir robes glisten, my hoodie drapes low,
We both want the truth, just different roads we know.
I want to be worthy, in your eyes a chance,
If you give me a moment, I’ll step into a stance.
I’ll leave the heat at the door when I’m near you,
But keepin’ it real is the oath that I swear to.
Maybe the groove will soften when stories align,
Two hearts remixing the rhythm of time.
[Verse 3]
They say we’re from different aisles, same hymn of hope,
I’ll admit I’m flawed, still I’m trying to cope.
Your faith is a lighthouse, my street is the fog,
But I can share my heart if you’ll meet me in the fog.
I won’t pretend I’m saints, I’m a work in progress,
But love’s not a trophy, it’s a patient dress.
If you see my truth, not just the shell I wear,
We can build a bridge from the bottom to the air.
I’ll bring loyalty, you bring mercy and grace,
We’ll navigate the gaps with a patient embrace.
I’m asking for time, not a miracle cure,
To grow with you, to learn to
