[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 . . . |
