Bread & Butter

Beanie Sigel


[Some guy talking] 
Darling 
Ya know, you give a man a reason for living 
Not to mention, you take my picture 
Now baby, but I give it to you because I love you 
Ya know cuz the things that I feel so proud about 
The things that you do 
Ya know, like runnin' my car into telephone poles 
Plus (?) I didn't get mad did I? 
Y-Y-y'member, 'member when 
W-W-When I tried to take my clothes to the cleaners 
and on the way out 
My very best pinstripe caught a nail 
I didn't get mad 
I was proud because you thought, enough of your man 
To be in such a hurry 
It made me feel grand, yes it did 
Uuh I need you, I just need you 

[Verse 1] 
Uh 
You know I was you're bread you're butter 
And I ain't talkin bout dat bread I fucked up on you 
Cause in my head man I swore I lucked up 
Wasn't countin all the butter I spreaded on you 
So true now, why would I play you bitch I made you 
I'm not talkin bout the things dat I gave you 
Clothes wit the labels, I brought you round Hov and da label 
Spring water while holdin you're age koo 
Naw I ain't tryin to degrade you 
But you was a lost little girl n you're world boo I saved you 
Ya pop owe me a favor, I basically raised you 
From squada to Bentley-whippin 
Ain't have to watch Cribs to see how I was livin 
Me, so blinded ain't see the Robin Givens in you 
Huh, shoulda seen the Ginger in you 
Tried to off Beans like raw steam? Go figure 
Youu take my dough, spend wit the next nigga you crazy bitch? 

[Chorus #1] 
And dis was the one I trusted 
Who would ever think she would spread like mustard 
Bitch I was your bread and butter 
You shoulda tucked dat bread and butter 
Ya know what?... Dis shit funny to me 
It ain't nuttin but money to me 
You lookin hungry to me 
But I was your bread and butter 
Bitch shoulda tucked dat bread and butter 
Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm 

[Verse 2] 
You got the whole town laughin at me, silly he 
Silly to see got me feelin silly like Denise like 
Oh what could it be in you, I see 
N dis young P-Y-T 
She got me L-O-V, E-T-K-O'd 
Uh, like Teddy P. whatever she say goes 
But I'm, ready to (Turn Off The Lights) 
Close the door, on my pretty young need I more 
Now peep game wit 'em, need, I, more 
Gimme dat, E thy or 
No Beanie Mac don't play dat crap wit these whores 
She want me missin her (in my room) like the OJ's homes 
But I'm on to my zone like O.J. Jones 
Beano brown, cancel dis bitch, I'll buy another one 
It's my world you lil squirrel tryna get a nut bitch 
Do you- what bitch? Lil smut bitch 
Got you're name ringin, spreadin like mustard 
And I'm supposed to trust it after he touched it? 

[Chorus #2] 
I told dat ass (slow down) like Puba 
Now you're days are gray like the 4 pound Ruga 
Bread and Butter, see I was you're bread and butter 
F'laaay baby ya hips is gettin big 
Now you gettin thin you don't care about you're whip 
Cuz I was you're bread and butter 
Shoulda tucked dat bread and butter 
Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm 

[Bridge being sung] 
So proud, of you.. a'ye-ah 
I gotta say it loud, yes I do, a'yeah (yeah yeah) 
When you do (do) What you do (do) 
How do you know, What you know 
Aw, shame on you 
I need you (oh oh) 
Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm 

[Verse 3 - Grand Puba] 
Yeah 
Now you know I was you're bread and butter 
You had a shot to be my baby mother 
Ain't no sorry I ain't Rueben Studdard 
I can't apologize, it's multi-platnimum time 
Takin all my shit and sendin you back to you're moms cryin 
So don't cry baby dry, ya eyes 
You tried to get all greasy like you super-size fries 
So, pack ya shit 
Leave the whip 
It's been nice but listen ma I gotta defrost ya ice 
Dats rite 

[Chorus #2]
