Love or Loyalty by Slow Burn Society
Love or Loyalty
[Intro – Both]
Streets call…
Hearts pull…
Love or loyalty… which one breaks first?
[Verse 1 – Male]
Grew up where the rules were made in blood,
Every corner’s a test, every deal’s a flood.
I see you staring, , I want you near,
But the code I live by whispers fear.
Choices heavy like a chain on my chest,
Love’s tempting, but loyalty’s the test.
If I fold for us, the streets won’t forgive,
But without you, , can I even live?
[Verse 2 – Female]
I feel your struggle, I feel your fight,
I want our love, but the streets bite.
Every promise you make, it’s shadowed by crime,
But my heart’s yours, , till the end of time.
Do I stay loyal to you, or heed the code?
We’re dancing on a razor down this dark road.
Temptations surround, but my choice is clear,
I ride with you, , through the danger and fear.
[Chorus – Both]
Love or loyalty, which way to go?
In the streets’ shadows, only we know.
Hearts on the line, code in our veins,
Through the fire, the loss, and the pain.
[Verse 3 – Male]
I want to hold you, but the streets demand,
Every handshake’s a trap, every move is planned.
But your eyes pull me from the chaos and grime,
For a stolen moment, we’re free from time.
If I choose love, do I betray the streets?
If I choose the code, do I risk defeat?
Every night I wonder, every day I pray,
That we find a path where both can stay.
[Verse 3 – Female]
I’ve walked the alleys, I’ve felt the threat,
But I won’t regret the love we met.
The streets are tempting, they call and they tease,
But you’re my anchor, my heart, my peace.
Love or loyalty, the battle is real,
But with you, , I know the deal:
We fight together, no matter the cost,
Side by side, no matter who’s lost.
[Bridge – Both, Call & Response]
Will we survive the streets’ cruel test?
We ride together, we do our best…
Can love stay strong when the code demands?
I’ll hold your heart in my hands…
[Chorus – Both / Final]
Love or loyalty, which way to go?
In the streets’ shadows, only we know.
Hearts on the line, code in our veins,
Through the fire, the loss, and the pain.
(Outro – Both, fading cityscape sounds)
Love or loyalty… we choose us tonight…
Through the dark, through the chaos, we fight…
In a world of rules, we write our own…
Love or loyalty… we’re never alone.
