Stage in city life no one said that it was right
But I got to hustle for the kids
God only knows what I've gone and been
âTil 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 the finger, couple of kids to minivans
Standinâ in the stands like a fan watch her little man run
(Ball!)
And every time you see the family they look happy
Got a mama and a 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 and the house
Boy, itâs cheaper to keep her, you fuck around and take a loss
Come up short like Short Dog cuss words flow like
(Motherfucker shit goddamn asshole)
Took my shit
(Bitch!)
Stage in city life no one said that it was right
But I got to hustle for the kids
God only knows what I've gone and been
âTil we reach the end
Just stay strong and be a friend
It was the night the day they dipped and all throughout the palace
Death didn't do us part, heartbroken, no more marriage
When it happens you'll be slappinâ yourself rememberinâ
You coulda remained boyfriend and girlfriend
Now you sittinâ in the courthouse, plaintiff and defendant
(Bitch!)
Pleadinâ to the judge you was in it to win it
In the beginninâ was splendid, see she was grinninâ and spendinâ
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, wishinâ I had paperwork on the misses
But I didn't, damn, fuckinâ around
Stage in city life no one said that it was right
(Hey babe, hey babe, hey babe)
But I got to hustle for the kids
God only knows what I've gone and been
âTil 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 âcause you know
That I'm tryna change but itâs hard âcause I've been this way
Man, you already knew that shit
Stage in city life no one said that it was right
But I got to hustle for the kids
God only knows what I've gone and been
âTil we reach the end
Just stay strong and be a friend
