Skyzoo - True Romance lyrics

This is a story
Of when the streets fall in love
Really fall in love
Where your life depends on that love

For the average ghetto child
The yellow brick road is dim
The lights are blacked out and
The chances are cut slim
The success rate never outweighs the opposite
Money, cash, hoes, is something we gotta get
Boys learn how to be men
From getting caught up
And grown women can't find
Time to raise daughters
So this is what happens when
A girl is left out
A future princess forced to the next route
Her name was Heaven, beautiful from day one
An angel on Earth if god ever made one
But she was born and raised
In the pit's of poverty
Cocaine deals, homicides and robberies
Daddy walked out on Heaven before preschool
Mommy wasn't around to show her
What the streets do
She was finding out what a
Bottle of Hennessy does
And hated her daughter for being
Prettier than she was
Seemed like Heaven knew anything but that
The older she got
The more hell would come back
By the time she was approaching thirteen
She knew how to lick them lips and work jeans
Eighteen came and went
And so did high school
She paid the bills by fucking
With the right dudes
But she wasn't known for
Ho'ing in the streets
Classy with hers, no ass, just hugs
Something like a female mac, full blown
Never fall in love with her
You know the code
But all that changed when her
Eyes were placed upon Marcus
Neighborhood hustler, heartless
Grew up the same way Heaven did
Parents was dead beats
So he felt heaven was heaven sent
Started off slow then it grew sky-high
Ladies and gents
Meet the new Bonnie and Clyde

They say true romance is hard to get to know
And the ones with it never really let it go
But when it's hood
The real stick by one another
And you ride or you die for your lover
And that's real

The more time passed
The more they were together
They both found love so they
Was down for whatever
He gave her quality time
She would hide his bricks soul mates
He called her his ride or die bitch
Needless to say, she deaded the blind dates
Marcus was still in the streets, but why wait
He took her out of her home
Took her out of her hell
She said bye to Reeboks, said hi to Chanel
Anything Heaven wanted, Marcus gave her
And she adored him
Looked up to him like a savior
She would be his lookout when
He was doing dirt he gave her a 22 and made
Her keep it in her purse
Showed her where the stash
Was under the mattress
And she would give him back
Rubs without him asking
He made her bag dudes, flirt a little bit
Go on dates while Marcus would
Stick up the crib
They was ruthless, but honestly
How could you blame them?
They only had each other
Nothing is what they came from
But the hood was hating
And when they saw the money they was making
The cops was sent in to break 'em
Heaven got rid of the coke
Before they kicked in
So Marcus was only charged
With breaking and entering
Judge hit him off with a mandatory 5
Small bid but Heaven knows he
Couldn't do the time
For the first two weeks, Heaven fell apart
She ain't just lose a man, she lost her heart
And every week she was sending
Him letters and pictures
Slide through on a visit
Give him weed when she kissed him
Six months passed and Marcus couldn't take it
Being in a box was stripping his heart naked
Fuck that
He wrote back in one of his letters
"Daddy's coming home
I need a piece of Heaven"

Late night
Marcus kidnapped one of the guards and
Snuck past the security margin
Dressed like a CO
He met Heaven in the next town
With a rent-a-car, but little did he know
Word spread fast that an inmate dashed
And pigs from all over was
Plotting on his ass
Cop cars flying at 110 speed
Tipped off by a gas station at 10-D
Shots start going off aiming at the rental
Heaven at the wheel and
Shit is getting suspenseful
One flew through the back
Caught Marcus in the back
And tapped the bone, he felt something crack
Heaven started crying and sweating all heavy
Doubling the speed limit but
Holding it steady
Marcus told shorty to drive to the crib
She thought he was crazy but
Still listened to her baby
Parked out front and dragged
Him up the stairs
Went inside and laid on the floor, scared
The bullet still sitting there
Stuck in his spine
He whispered to his woman that
He's coming to die
Now she's getting hysterical, taking it hard
He said before I go to jail
I'd rather die in your arms
She crawled to the mattress, pulled out the 9
Kissed him goodbye and helped
Him close his eyes
With his lifeless frame laying
There in her lap her heart felt weak
Her soul started to crack
She started hearing sirens
The D's was coming
But without her other half
She couldn't see running
Cops start kicking in the door all reckless
She took a deep breath and
Reached for a weapon put it in her mouth and
Ruined the cops' plans squeezed the trigger
She was back with her man in heaven
