A Tribe Called Quest - Butter Lyrics
Verse one: phife dawg1988 senior year, garvey highWhere all the guys were corny but the girls were mad flyLoungin with the tipster, coolin with shaScopin out the honeys - they know who they areI was the b-ball playin fly rhyme sayinFly girl gettin but never was I sweatinCause when it came to honeys I would go on a strollUntil I met my match - her name was floYeah - I messed around with the one called floAll the troopers round the way used to call her a hoBut deep down in my heart I knew that flo was good to goCause I thought it was me - like bell biv devoeBut little did I know that she was playin with my mindThe only thing I learned is, good girls are hard to findI feel like heavy d I need somebody for meNot someone whos mind is blank and tryin to juice me for my bankSwingin with my main man lucky behind my backWhat type of crap is that - yo, hows about a smack?Word life, I cant front - thought I was all thatBut now it seems, I met my matchWas a stone cold lover, you couldnt tell me jackSettlin down with one girl, wasnt tryin to hear thatI had tonya, tamika, sharon, karenTina, stacy, julie, tracyUsed ta love em, leave em, skeeze em, tease emFind em, lose em - also abuse emMy whole attitude was new day, next honAnd believe it or not, they all got doneWell here comes flo, with the crazy whip appealAnd Im all true man, like alexander onealIs this really love, then again, how would I knowAfter all this time tryin to be a superhoeShe finally played me, but yo, Id find anotherCause I got the crazy game and yo, Im smooth like butterChorus: q-tipButter, like butter baby . . .
