Bread & Butter
Beanie Sigel Grand Puba & Sadat X Lyrics

Darling
Sweetheart

Ya know, you give a man a reason for living
You bring purpose to a man's life

Not to mention, you take my picture
And you capture my image

Now baby, but I give it to you because I love you
But I willingly give it to you because of my love for you

Ya know cause the things that I feel so proud about
I feel immense pride in

The things that you do
The actions you take

Ya know, like runnin' my car into telephone poles
For example, crashing my car into telephone poles

Plus? I didn't get mad did I?
And did I get angry? No, I didn't

Y-Y-y'member, 'member when
Remember when

W-W-When I tried to take my clothes to the cleaners
When I attempted to take my clothes to the dry cleaners

and on the way out
And as I was leaving

My very best pinstripe caught a nail
My favorite pinstriped garment got snagged

I didn't get mad
But I didn't get angry

I was proud because you thought, enough of your man
Instead, I felt proud because it showed that you valued me

To be in such a hurry
To be in a rush

It made me feel grand, yes it did
It made me feel incredible

Uh I need you, I just need you
I need you, I simply need you

You know I was you're bread you're butter
You know I was your main support system

And I ain't talkin' bout that bread I fucked up on you
And I'm not referring to the mistake I made on a financial level

Cause in my head man I swore I lucked up
In my mind, I believed I had struck gold

Wasn't countin' all the butter I spreaded on you
I didn't realize all the negative effects of my actions on you

So true now, why would I play you bitch I made you
So it's true, why would I deceive you when I was the one who built you up

I'm not talkin' bout the things that I gave you
I'm not referring to the material possessions I provided for you

Clothes wit the labels, I brought you round Hov and da label
Designer clothing that I introduced you to, and I connected you with Jay-Z and his record label

Spring water while holdin' you're age koo
I even made sure you drank the finest water while maintaining your youthful appearance

No I ain't tryin' to degrade you
I'm not attempting to belittle you

But you was a lost little girl n you're world boo I saved you
But you were a lost girl, and in your world, I rescued you

Ya pop owe me a favor, I basically raised you
Your father owes me a debt of gratitude because I practically raised you

From squada to Bentley-whippin'
From a squad status to driving a Bentley

Ain't have to watch Cribs to see how I was livin'
You didn't have to watch the show Cribs to see my lavish lifestyle

Me, so blinded ain't see the Robin Givens in you
I was so blinded that I didn't see the negative aspects of your character

Huh, shoulda seen the Ginger in you
I should have recognized the conniving nature in you

Tried to off Beans like Rothstein? Go figure
You attempted to harm me like Rothstein? It's ironic

Youu take my dough, spend wit the next nigga you crazy bitch?
You took my money and spent it with another man, you're insane bitch?

And dis was the one I trusted
And you were the one I trusted

Who would ever think she would spread like mustard
Who would have imagined that you would spread rumors about me

Bitch I was your bread and butter
I was your main source of support

You shoulda tucked that bread and butter
You should have kept that support close to you

Ya know what? Dis shit funny to me
You know what? This situation seems amusing to me

It ain't nuttin but money to me
It's nothing more than money to me

You lookin' hungry to me
You seem desperate for money

But I was your bread and butter
But I was the one who provided for you

Bitch shoulda tucked that bread and butter
You should have cherished that support

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

You got the whole town laughin' at me, silly he
The entire town is laughing at me, thinking I'm foolish

Silly to see got me feelin' silly like Denise like
It's absurd to witness, making me feel foolish like Denise

Oh what could it be in you, I see
Oh, what could it be about you, I can see

N dis young P-Y-T
And this young pretty young thing

She got me L-O-V, E-T-K-O'd
She has me completely infatuated with love

Uh, like Teddy P. whatever she say goes
Like Teddy Pendergrass, I'm willing to do whatever she says

But I'm, ready to (Turn Off The Lights)
But now, I'm ready to end the relationship

Close the door, on my pretty young need I more
Close the door on my beautiful, but needy partner

Now peep game wit 'em, need, I, more
Now pay attention to the game I'm about to share, I need more

Gimme that, E thy or
Give me that ecstasy or

No Beanie Mac don't play dat crap wit these whores
Beanie Sigel doesn't tolerate that behavior with these promiscuous women

She want me missin' her (in my room) like the O-J's homes
She wants me to yearn for her presence, just like O.J. Simpson did in prison

But I'm on to my zone like O.J. Jones
But I'm focused on my own path, just like O.J. Simpson's lawyer, Johnnie Cochran

Beano brown, cancel dis bitch, I'll buy another one
Beano Brown will move on from this woman and find a new one

It's my world you lil' squirrel tryna get a nut bitch
It's my world, and you're just a small-time hustler trying to take advantage

Do you- what bitch? Lil smut bitch
Do you think you can fool me, you promiscuous woman

Got you're name ringin', spreadin' like mustard
I made your name famous, spreading like gossip

And I'm supposed to trust it after he touched it?
And I'm expected to believe it after he had his way with you?

I told dat ass (slow down) like Puba
I warned you to slow down, just like Puba

Now you're days are gray like the 4 pound Ruga
Now your days are filled with sadness and danger

Bread and Butter, see I was your bread and butter
Bread and butter, I was the main support in your life

F'laaay baby ya hips is gettin' big
Damn baby, your hips are getting large

Now you gettin thin you don't care about you're whip
Now you're losing weight and you don't care about your car

Cause I was your bread and butter
Because I was your main support

Shoulda tucked dat bread and butter
You should have held onto that support

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

So proud, of you a'ye-ah
So proud of you, oh yes

I gotta say it loud, yes I do, a'yeah (yeah yeah)
I have to say it loudly, yes I do

When you do (do) What you do (do)
When you do what you do

How do you know, What you know
How do you acquire your knowledge

Aw, shame on you
Oh, shame on you

I need you (oh oh)
I need you

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

Now you know I was your bread and butter
Now you know I was the main support in your life

You had a shot to be my baby mother
You had a chance to be the mother of my child

Ain't no sorry I ain't Ruben Studdard
I'm not going to apologize like Ruben Studdard

I can't apologize, it's multi-platinum time
I can't apologize, I'm at the peak of my success

Takin' all my shit and sendin' you back to your mom crying
Taking all my belongings and sending you back to your mother in tears

So don't cry baby dry, your eyes
So don't cry, baby, wipe away your tears

You tried to get all greasy like you super-size fries
You tried to act all slick, like supersized French fries

So, pack your shit
So, gather your belongings

Leave the whip
Leave the car

It's been nice but listen ma I gotta defrost your ice
It has been nice, but listen, I need to melt your icy demeanor

That's right
That's correct

I told that ass (slow down) like Puba
I warned you to slow down, just like Puba

Now you're days are gray like the 4 pound Ruga
Now your days are filled with sadness and danger

Bread and Butter, see I was your bread and butter
Bread and butter, I was the main support in your life

F'laaay baby ya hips is gettin' big
Damn baby, your hips are getting large

Now you gettin thin you don't care about your whip
Now you're losing weight and you don't care about your car

Cause I was your bread and butter
Because I was your main support

Shoulda tucked that bread and butter
You should have held onto that support

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
