Verse one: phife dawg
2
1988 senior year, garvey high
3
Where all the guys were corny but the girls were mad fly
4
Loungin with the tipster, coolin with sha
5
Scopin out the honeys - they know who they are
6
I was the b-ball playin fly rhyme sayin
7
Fly girl gettin but never was I sweatin
8
Cause when it came to honeys I would go on a stroll
9
Until I met my match - her name was flo
10
Yeah - I messed around with the one called flo
11
All the troopers round the way used to call her a ho
12
But deep down in my heart I knew that flo was good to go
13
Cause I thought it was me - like bell biv devoe
14
But little did I know that she was playin with my mind
15
The only thing I learned is, good girls are hard to find
16
I feel like heavy d I need somebody for me
17
Not someone whos mind is blank and tryin to juice me for my bank
18
Swingin with my main man lucky behind my back
19
What type of crap is that - yo, hows about a smack?
20
Word life, I can't front - thought I was all that
21
But now it seems, I met my match
22
Was a stone cold lover, you couldnt tell me jack
23
Settlin down with one girl, wasn't tryin to hear that
24
I had tonya, tamika, sharon, karen
25
Tina, stacy, julie, tracy
26
Used ta love em, leave em, skeeze em, tease em
27
Find em, lose em - also abuse em
28
My whole attitude was new day, next hon
29
And believe it or not, they all got done
30
Well here comes flo, with the crazy whip appeal
31
And Im all true man, like alexander oneal
32
Is this really love, then again, how would I know
33
After all this time tryin to be a superhoe
34
She finally played me, but yo, I'd find another
35
Cause I got the crazy game and yo, Im smooth like butter
36
Chorus: q-tip
37
Butter, like butter baby . . . [repeat 2x]
38
Not no parkay, not no margarine,
39
Strickly butter baby, strictly butter
40
Verse two: phife dawg
41
I remember when,
42
Girls were goodie two shoes, but now they turned to freaks
43
Allofasudden we love you phife - ease of ho, my names malik
44
Phife this, phife that, where you goin, where you at
45
These girls don't know me from jack, yet I feel like the mack
46
You didn't want me then, so hon, don't want me now
47
Here, here - take the towel, wipe off your brow
48
And take the ccontact out your eye, you're far from lookin fly
49
You get an e for effort, and t for nice try
50
Now tell me what's the reason, for dyin your hair
51
Slum village gold still danglin in your ear
52
You barely have a neck but still sportin a rope
53
Four-finger ring just so phifer can scope
54
You looked in the mirror, didn't know what to do
55
Yesterday your eyes were brown but today they are blue
56
Your whole appearance is a lie and it could never be true
57
And if you really loved yourself then you would try and be you
58
If your hair and eyes were real, I wouldn't have dissed ya
59
But since it was bought, I had to dismiss ya
60
If you can't achieve it, then why not try and weave it
61
If you can't extend it then you might as well suspend it
62
If you can't braid it, best thing to do is fade it
63
I asked who did your hair and you tell me diane made it
64
If you were you and just you, talk to you, maybe
65
But I can't stand, no bionic lady
66
Tryin hard to look fly, but yo, you're lookin dumber
67
If I wanted someone like you I woulda swung with jamie summers
68
You wanna be treated right, see father mc
69
Or check ralph tresvant, for sens-a-tiv-i-ty
70
See I am not the one, I got more game than parker brothers
71
Phife dog is on the mic and Im smooth like butter . . .
