Love In War
OutKast · Speakerboxxx/The Love Below - Disc 02
Let's kiss, not fight
Try to do whats right tonight
Make love, not war
What the hell are we living for? [repeat]
[Verse]
Tonight we'll make the prettiest song that no one will ever hear
No one will ever hear
No one will ever
These ain't the times to be alone cliche the end is near
Cliche the end is near
Cliche the end is
Quickly approaching while we carry on
No one is promised another day
Why can't the story end like fairytales often do
Before I let you leave I've got to say-ay-ay-ay
[Hook]
[Instrumental]

Love In War
OutKast's 'Love In War' stands as a defining track from the duo's collaborative masterpiece, *Speakerboxxx/The Love Below*. Released in 2000, the song exemplifies the group's signature blend of Southern hip-hop, funk, and psychedelic rock influences. Featuring the iconic 'Soulja Boy' hook, the recording showcases Big Boi and André 3000's distinct vocal interplay and production prowess, creating a sonic landscape that bridged the gap between their previous work and future experimental directions. The track remains a staple of the album's catalog, reflecting the era's shift toward more complex, genre-defying soundscapes while maintaining the group's characteristic wit and social commentary. Its enduring popularity underscores its status as a pivotal moment in modern hip-hop history.
