[00:00.00] Verse one:phife dawg
[00:10.66] 1988 senior year, garvey high
[00:13.19] Where all the guys were corny but the girls were mad fly
[00:15.70] Loungin with the tipster, coolin with sha
[00:18.23] Scopin out the honeys - they know who they are
[00:20.74] I was the b-ball playin fly rhyme sayin
[00:23.25] Fly girl gettin but never was i sweatin
[00:26.01] Cause when it came to honeys i would go on a stroll
[00:28.51] Until i met my match - her name was flo
[00:31.27] Yeah - i messed around with the one called flo
[00:33.54] All the troopers round the way used to call her a ho
[00:36.05] But deep down in my heart i knew that flo was good to go
[00:39.07] Cause i thought it was me - like bell biv devoe
[00:41.58] But little did i know that she was playin' with my mind
[00:44.35] The only thing i learned is, good girls are hard to find
[00:46.86] I feel like heavy d i need somebody for me
[00:49.12] Not someone who's mind is blank and tryin' to juice me for my bank
[00:52.13] Swingin' with my main man lucky behind my back
[00:54.64] What type of crap is that - yo, hows about a smack?
[00:57.14] Word life, i can't front - thought i was all that
[00:59.90] But now it seems, i met my match
[01:02.17] Was a stone cold lover, you couldn't tell me jack
[01:05.19] Settlin' down with one girl, wasn't tryin' to hear that
[01:07.44] I had tonya, tamika, sharon, karen
[01:10.21] Tina, stacy, julie, tracy
[01:12.80] Used ta love 'em, leave 'em, skeeze 'em, tease 'em
[01:15.57] Find 'em, lose 'em - also abuse 'em
[01:18.08] My whole attitude was new day, next hon
[01:20.60] And believe it or not, they all got done
[01:23.10] Well here comes flo, with the crazy whip appeal
[01:25.87] And i'm all true man, like alexander o'neal
[01:28.37] Is this really love, then again, how would i know
[01:31.13] After all this time tryin' to be a superhoe
[01:33.64] She finally played me, but yo, i'd find another
[01:36.41] Cause i got the crazy game and yo, i'm smooth like butter
[01:38.67] Chorus: q-tip
[01:38.92] Butter, like butter baby . . .
[01:54.48] Not no parkay, not no margarine,
[01:57.00] Strickly butter baby, strictly butter
[01:59.03] Verse two: phife dawg
[01:59.28] I remember when,
[01:59.75] Girls were goodie two shoes, but now they turned to freaks
[02:02.26] Allofasudden "we love you phife" - ease of ho, my name's malik
[02:04.78] Phife this, phife that, where you goin', where you at
[02:07.28] These girls don't know me from jack, yet i feel like the mack
[02:09.79] You didn't want me then, so hon, don't want me now
[02:12.55] Here, here - take the towel, wipe off your brow
[02:15.07] And take the ccontact out your eye, you're far from lookin' fly
[02:17.83] You get an e for effort, and t for nice try
[02:20.61] Now tell me what's the reason, for dyin' your hair
[02:22.86] Slum village gold still danglin in your ear
[02:25.62] You barely have a neck but still sportin' a rope
[02:28.14] Four-finger ring just so phifer can scope
[02:30.65] You looked in the mirror, didn't know what to do
[02:33.41] Yesterday your eyes were brown but today they are blue
[02:35.92] Your whole appearance is a lie and it could never be true
[02:38.68] And if you really loved yourself then you would try and be you
[02:40.94] If your hair and eyes were real, i wouldn't have dissed ya
[02:43.96] But since it was bought, i had to dismiss ya
[02:46.47] If you can't achieve it, then why not try and weave it
[02:49.24] If you can't extend it then you might as well suspend it
[02:51.76] If you can't braid it, best thing to do is fade it
[02:54.52] I asked who did your hair and you tell me "diane made it"
[02:56.82] If you were you and just you, talk to you, maybe
[02:59.58] But i can't stand, no bionic lady
[03:02.09] Tryin' hard to look fly, but yo, you're lookin' dumber
[03:04.85] If i wanted someone like you i woulda swung with jamie summers
[03:07.36] You wanna be treated right, see father mc
[03:09.87] Or check ralph tresvant, for sens-a-tiv-i-ty
[03:12.63] See i am not the one, i got more game than parker brothers
[03:15.27] Phife dog is on the mic and i'm smooth like butter . . .
