Bread & Butter
SIGEL Beanie Lyrics

Darling
Addressing the person he loves.

Ya know, you give a man a reason for living
He finds his purpose in life in his partner.

Not to mention, you take my picture
She captures and preserves their memories together.

Now baby, but I give it to you because I love you
He shares himself with her because of his deep affection.

Ya know cause the things that I feel so proud about
He can boast about himself because of her.

The things that you do
She has done admirable things for him.

Ya know, like runnin' my car into telephone poles
She has made mistakes, like causing car accidents.

Plus ? I didn't get mad did I?
He remained calm despite the mistakes and forgave her.

Y-Y-y'member, 'member when
Recalling a specific moment from their relationship.

W-W-When I tried to take my clothes to the cleaners
He recounts a day when he tried to clean his clothes.

and on the way out
While he was leaving.

My very best pinstripe caught a nail
He snagged his favorite suit on a nail.

I didn't get mad
He didn't become angry with her despite the accidental damage.

I was proud because you thought, enough of your man
He was proud that she considered him in the situation.

To be in such a hurry
She had a lot to do that day.

It made me feel grand, yes it did
Her consideration made him feel special.

Uh I need you, I just need you
He expresses his need for her.

You know I was you're bread you're butter
He provided everything for her.

And I ain't talkin' bout that bread I fucked up on you
He didn't literally mess up food for her, but he may have made other mistakes.

Cause in my head man I swore I lucked up
He feels lucky to have her in his life.

Wasn't countin' all the butter I spreaded on you
He didn't realize how much he had done for her.

So true now, why would I play you bitch I made you
He never intended to deceive or use her since he was the one who brought her up.

I'm not talkin' bout the things that I gave you
He won't list everything he's done for her.

Clothes wit the labels, I brought you round Hov and da label
He gave her nice things and introduced her to important people in the music industry.

Spring water while holdin' you're age koo
He gave her a nice drink while keeping her age in mind.

No I ain't tryin' to degrade you
He isn't trying to belittle her.

But you was a lost little girl n you're world boo I saved you
She was struggling before he entered her life and he took care of her.

Ya pop owe me a favor, I basically raised you
He practically played a paternal role in her life.

From squada to Bentley-whippin'
He took her from being uncertain about her place to having luxury cars.

Ain't have to watch Cribs to see how I was livin'
She has seen firsthand how he lives.

Me, so blinded ain't see the Robin Givens in you
He was blinded by love and didn't see any negative qualities she may have had.

Huh, shoulda seen the Ginger in you
He should have seen her manipulative attitude.

Tried to off Beans like Rothstein? Go figure
She tried to betray him, much like the character Rothstein in the movie Casino.

Youu take my dough, spend wit the next nigga you crazy bitch?
She stole his money and spent it on someone else.

And dis was the one I trusted
He put his trust in her but she let him down.

Who would ever think she would spread like mustard
He never would have thought she would act in such a way.

Bitch I was your bread and butter
He was her only source of support.

You shoulda tucked that bread and butter
She should have kept him close and not betrayed him.

Ya know what? Dis shit funny to me
He finds the situation ironic.

It ain't nuttin but money to me
He values money over her and their relationship.

You lookin' hungry to me
She looks like she needs financial support.

But I was your bread and butter
He provided everything for her.

Bitch shoulda tucked that bread and butter
