Butter - A Tribe Called Quest[00:00:00]
Written by:Kamaal Fareed/Ali Shaheed Muhammad/Malik Taylor/A Tribe Called Quest[00:00:01]
1988 senior year at Garvey High[00:00:10]
Where all the guys were corny but the girls were mad fly[00:00:13]
Lounging with the Tipster cooling with Sha[00:00:15]
Scoping out the honeys they know who they are[00:00:18]
I was the b-ball playing fly rhyme saying[00:00:20]
Fly girl getting but never was I sweating[00:00:23]
Cause when it came to honeys I would go on a stroll[00:00:26]
Until I met my match her name was Flo[00:00:28]
Yeah I messed around with the one called Flo[00:00:31]
All the troopers round the way used to call her a ho[00:00:33]
But deep down in my heart I knew that Flo was good to go[00:00:36]
Cause I thought it was me like Bell Biv Devoe[00:00:39]
But little did I know that she was playing with my mind[00:00:41]
The only thing I learned is good girls are hard to find[00:00:44]
I feel like Heavy D I need somebody for me[00:00:47]
Not someone whose mind is blank and tryna juice me for my banks[00:00:49]
Swinging with my main man Lucky behind my back[00:00:52]
What type of crap is that yo how's about a smack[00:00:54]
Word life I can't front thought I was all that[00:00:57]
But now it seems I've met my match[00:00:59]
I was a stone cold lover you couldn't tell me jack[00:01:02]
Settling down with one girl wasn't trying to hear that[00:01:05]
I had Tonya Tamika Sharon Karen[00:01:07]
Tina Stacy Julie Tracy[00:01:10]
Used to love 'em leave 'em skeeze 'em tease 'em[00:01:12]
Find 'em lose 'em also abuse 'em[00:01:15]
My whole attitude was new day next hon[00:01:18]
And believe it or not they all got done[00:01:20]
Well here comes Flo with the crazy whip appeal[00:01:23]
And I'm all true man like Alexander O'Neal[00:01:25]
Is this really love then again how would I know[00:01:28]
After all this time trying to be a super ho[00:01:31]
She finally played me but yo I'd find another[00:01:33]
Cause I got the crazy game and yo I'm smooth like butter[00:01:36]
Ayo it's like butter it's like butter baby[00:01:38]
It's like butter it's like butter baby[00:01:41]
It's like butter it's like butter baby[00:01:44]
It's like butter it's like butter baby[00:01:46]
It's like butter it's like butter baby[00:01:49]
It's like butter it's like the butter baby[00:01:52]
Not no Parkay not no margarine[00:01:54]
Strictly butter strictly butter baby[00:01:57]
I remember when girls were goodie two shoes[00:01:59]
But now they turning freaks[00:02:01]
All of a sudden we love you Phife ease off ho[00:02:02]
My name's Malik[00:02:04]
Phife this Phife that where you going where you at[00:02:05]
These girls don't know me from jack yet I feel like the Mack[00:02:07]
You didn't want me then so yo hon don't want me now[00:02:10]
Here here take the towel wipe off your brow[00:02:12]
And take the contact out your eye you're far from looking fly[00:02:15]
You get an E for effort and T for nice try[00:02:18]
Now tell me what's the reason for dying your hair[00:02:20]
Slum village gold still dangling in your ear[00:02:23]
You barely have a neck but still sporting a rope[00:02:26]
Four-finger ring just so Phifer can scope[00:02:28]
You looked in the mirror didn't know what to do[00:02:31]
Yesterday your eyes were brown but today they are blue[00:02:33]
Your whole appearance is a lie and it could never be true[00:02:36]
And if you really liked yourself then you would try and be you[00:02:38]
If your hair and eyes were real I wouldn't have dissed ya[00:02:41]
But since it was bought I had to dismiss ya[00:02:44]
But if you can't achieve it then why not try and weave it[00:02:46]
If you can't extend it then you might as well suspend it[00:02:49]
If you can't braid it best thing to do is fade it[00:02:52]
I asked who did your hair and you tell me[00:02:54]
Diane made it[00:02:56]
If you were you and just you talk to you maybe[00:02:56]
But I can't stand no bionic lady[00:02:59]
Trying hard to look fly but yo you're looking dumber[00:03:02]
If I wanted someone like you I would've swung with Jaime Sommers[00:03:04]
You wanna be treated right see Father MC[00:03:07]
Or check Ralph Tresvant for sensitivity[00:03:10]
Cause I am not the one I got more game than Parker Brothers[00:03:12]
Phife Dawg is on the mic and I'm smooth like butter[00:03:15]
