My favourite track on the whole Album.
I am writing this whole rhyme from memory.

Butter
------

1988, senior year, Garvey High
When all the guys were corny but the girls were mad fly
Lounging with the Tipster, cooling with Shah
Scoping out the honeys, they know who they are.
I was the b-ball playing
Fly rhyme saying
Fly girl getting
But never was I sweating
Coz when it came to honies I would go in a stroke
Until I met my match, her name was Flo
Yeah I messed around with the one called Flo
All the troopers 'round the way used to call her a 'ho
But deep down in my heart I knew that Flo was good to go
Coz i thought it was me, like Bell Biv Devoe
But little did I know that she was playing with my mind
The only thing I've learnt is good girls are hard to find
I feel like Heavy D, I need somebody for me
Not someone whose mind is blank and trying to juice me for my banks
Swinging with my main man lucky behind my back
What type of crap is that?, Yo how's about a smack
Word life I can't front, thought I was all that
But now it seems, I've met my match
I was a stone cold lover, you couldn't tell me jack
Settling down with one girl wasn't trying to hear that
I had Tania, Timiko
Sharon, Karen
Tina, Stacy
Julie, Tracey
I used to love 'em
Leave 'em
Skease 'em
Tease 'em
Find 'em
Use 'em
Also abuse 'em
My whole attitude was new day next hon
And believe it or not, they all got done
But here comes Flo with the crazy whip appeal
And now I'm all true man like Alexander O'Neal
Is this really love, then again how would I know
After all this time, trying to be a super-'ho
She finally played me but yo I'd find another
Coz I got the crazy game and yo I'm smooth like butter

Chorus
------
It's like butter
It's like butter baby
(repeat 6 times)
Not no Parkeen
Not no Margarine
Striclty Butter
Strictly Butter baby

I remember when girls where goody two shoes
But now they've turned to freaks
All of a sudden 'We love you Phife', ease of ho my name's money
Phife this, Phife that
Whe're you going, whe're you at
These girls dont know me from jack
Yet I feel like the mack
You didn't want me then so yo hon don't want me know
Hear, hear take the towel, wipe off your brow
And take the contact out your eye
You're far from looking fly
You're getting E for Effort and T for nice Try
And tell me what's the reason for dying your hair
Slum village golds still dangling in your ear
You barely have a neck but still sporting a rope
Four finger ring just so Phifer can scope
You looked in the mirror didn't know what to do
Yesterday your eyes were brown but today they are blue
Your whole appearance is a lie and it could never be true
And if you really liked yourself then you would try and be you
If your hair and eyes were real I wouldn't have dissed you
But since it was bought I have to dismiss you
But if you can't achieve it, then why not try and weave it
If you can't extend it, then you might as well suspend it
If you can't braide it, best thing to do is fade it
I asked who did your hair and you tell me Diane made it
If you were you and just you, talk to you?, maybe
But I can't stand no bionic lady
Trying hard to look fly but yo your looking dummer
If I wanted someone like you I would have swung with Jammie Summers
You want to be treated white, see Father MC
Or check Ralph Tresvant for sensitivity
Coz I am not the one I got more game than Parker Brothers
Phife dog is on the mic and I'm smooth like butter

Chorus
