OutKast - Peaches

Stages in life, no one said that it was right
But I've got to hustle for the kids
God only knows what I've gone and been
'Til we reach the end
Just stay strong and be a friend

I cram to understand why a woman and a man
Make a plan to enter matrimony, then he takes her hand
Put that ring on her finger, couple of kids, the minivans
Standin' in the stands, like a fan, watch her little man
Run ball, and everytime you see the family they look happy
Got her mama and her daddy and I think they got a lil' dog
But daddy had a cat on the side
He would hide her from his ride, decide not to divide
Kept the yam and the pie the spouse in the house
Boy, it's cheaper to keep her, you fuck around and take a loss
Come up short like Short Dog, cuss words flow like
(Motherfuckaer shit gotdamn asshole)
Took my shit (beitch) fuck!

Stages in life, no one said that it was right
But I've got to hustle for the kids
God only knows what I've gone and been
'Til we reach the end
Just stay strong and be a friend

It was the night that they did dipped and all throughout the palace
That didn't do us part, heartbroken, no more marriage (beitch)
When it happens you'll be slappin yourself rememberin'
You coulda remained boyfriend and girlfriend
Now you sittin' in the courthouse plaintiff and defendant
Pleadin' to the judge you was in it to win it
In the beginnin' was splendid, see she was grinnin' and spendin'
All of her time wit the kids an' in the kitchen she'd cook
She was fierce on the stove, it was always great
Covered plates in the microwave when I came home late
But now we just debate like some candidates, damn I hate
Friction, wishin' I had paperwork on the misses but I didn't
Damn, fuckin' around

Stages in life, no one said that it was right
But I've got to hustle for the kids
God only knows what I've gone and been
'Til we reach the end
Just stay strong and be a friend

Girl you have to remember
I gotta provide for the family and future
So please stay down and please stay around 'cause you know
That I'm tryna change but it's hard 'cause I've been this way
(Man you already knew that shit)

Stages in life, no one said that it was right
But I've got to hustle for the kids
God only knows what I've gone and been
'Til we reach the end
Just stay strong and be a friend
