Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Darling
You know, you give a man a reason for living
Not to mention, you take my paycheck
Now baby, but I give it to you because I love you
You know, because of the things that I feel so proud about
The things that you do
You know, like, runnin' my car into the telephone poles
But I still like you, baby, I didn't get mad, did I?
You remember, remember when
When I told you 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
I need you, I just need you
[Verse 2]
You know I was your bread, your butter
And I ain't talkin' 'bout that bread I fucked up on you
'Cause in my head, man, I swore I lucked up
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 that I gave you
Clothes with the labels
I brought you 'round Hov and the labels
Spring water while holdin' your age, fool
And I ain't tryin' degrade you
[Verse 3]
But you's a lost little girl in your world, boy, I saved you
Your Pop owe me a favor, I basically raised you
From squatter to Bentley whippin'
Ain't have to watch cribs to see how I was livin'
Me, so blinded, I ain't see the Robin Given's in you
Huh, shoulda seen the Ginger in you
Tried to off Beans like Rothstein, go figure
You take my dough, spend with the next ****
You crazy, bitch?
[Verse 4]
And this was the one I trusted
Who would ever think she would spread like mustard, bitch?
I was your bread & butter
You shoulda tucked that bread & butter
Know what, this shit funny to me
It ain't nothin' but money to me
You lookin' homely to me
I was your bread & butter
Bitch, you shoulda tucked that bread & butter
[Verse 5]
You got the whole town laughin' at me, silly he
Silly as he, got me feelin' silly like Denise
Like, oh, what could it be in you I see?
In this young P-Y-T, she got me L-O-V-E T-K-O
Like Teddy P, whatever she says goes
[Verse 6]
But I'm ready to turn off the lights, close the door
All my pretty young mi amor, now peep game with 'em
Me, I, more
Give me that
E thy or
N, Beanie Mac don't play that crap with these scores
She want me missin' her in my room, like the O'Jay's homes
But I'm more into my zone like O.J. Jones
Beano Brown, cancel this bitch, I'll buy another one
This my world, you little squirrel, tryna get a nut, bitch
[Verse 7]
Do you what, bitch? You lil' smut bitch
Got your name ringin', spreadin' like mustard
And I suppose to trust it after he touched it?
[Verse 8]
I told that ass, slow down, like Puba
Now your days are gray like a four pound Ruga
Bread & butter, you see, I was your bread & butter
Slay, baby, your hips is gettin' big
Now you gettin' thin, you don't care about your width
'Cause I was your bread & butter
You shoulda tucked that bread & butter
[Verse 9]
I'm so proud of you, yeah
I gotta say it loud, oh yes, I do, yeah
When you do what cha do, how do you do what cha do?
Oh, shame on you, I need you
[Verse 10]
Now, you know I was your bread & butter
You had a shot to be my baby mother
I ain't no sorry, I ain't Ruben Studdard
I can't apologize, it's multiplatinum time
Takin' all my shit and sendin' you back to your mom's, cryin'
[Verse 11]
So don't cry, baby, dry your eyes
You try to get all breezy like you super sized fries though
Pack your shit, leave the whip
It's been nice, but listen, ma, I gotta defrost your ice, that's right
[Verse 12]
I told that ass, slow down, like Puba
Now your days are gray like a four pound Ruga
Bread & butter, you see, I was your bread & butter
Slay, baby, your hips is gettin' big
Now you gettin' thin, you don't care about your width
'Cause I was your bread & butter
You shoulda tucked that bread & butter
