Written by：Kamaal Fareed/Ali Shaheed Muhammad/Malik Taylor/A Tribe Called Quest
1988 senior year at Garvey High
Where all the guys were corny but the girls were mad fly
那些男人都土里土气 姑娘们却美艳动人
Lounging with the Tipster cooling with Sha
和蒂普斯特闲逛 与莎莎一起放松
Scoping out the honeys they know who they are
打量着那些甜心 她们心知肚明
I was the b-ball playing fly rhyme saying
我是那个打篮球又会说唱的酷哥
Fly girl getting but never was I sweating
泡妞无数却从不费心
Cause when it came to honeys I would go on a stroll
因为说到把妹 我向来游刃有余
Until I met my match her name was Flo
直到遇见我的克星 她叫弗洛
Yeah I messed around with the one called Flo
我曾与那个叫Flo的女孩纠缠不清
All the troopers round the way used to call her a ho
周围的人都称她为*
But deep down in my heart I knew that Flo was good to go
但内心深处 我以为Flo会是例外
Cause I thought it was me like Bell Biv Devoe
就像Bell Biv Devoe唱的那样自信满满
But little did I know that she was playing with my mind
殊不知她早已玩弄我的感情
The only thing I learned is good girls are hard to find
唯一领悟 好女孩实在难寻
I feel like Heavy D I need somebody for me
像Heavy D般渴望真爱降临
Not someone whose mind is blank and tryna juice me for my banks
而非觊觎钱财的空壳灵魂
Swinging with my main man Lucky behind my back
和好兄弟Lucky在背后摇摆
What type of crap is that yo how's about a smack
这算什么破事 不如来一巴掌
Word life I can't front thought I was all that
说真的 我装不下去了 曾以为自己很行
But now it seems I've met my match
但现在看来遇到对手了
I was a stone cold lover you couldn't tell me jack
我曾是个冷酷的情圣 谁都说服不了我
Settling down with one girl wasn't trying to hear that
从没想过要和一个女孩安定下来
I had Tonya Tamika Sharon Karen
Tina Stacy Julie Tracy
Used to love 'em leave 'em skeeze 'em tease 'em
曾经爱过又弃 玩弄撩拨随心
Find 'em lose 'em also abuse 'em
寻得又失 肆意挥霍感情
My whole attitude was new day next hon
日日新人换旧颜 是我的信条
And believe it or not they all got done
信不信由你 她们都沦陷过
Well here comes Flo with the crazy whip appeal
直到芙洛出现 带着致命吸引力
And I'm all true man like Alexander O'Neal
我像亚历山大·奥尼尔般虔诚以待
Is this really love then again how would I know
这真是爱情吗 我又如何能知晓
After all this time trying to be a super ho
毕竟长久以来 我只想做情场浪子
She finally played me but yo I'd find another
她最终玩弄了我 但我总能找到下一个
Cause I got the crazy game and yo I'm smooth like butter
因为我深谙这场疯狂游戏 丝滑如黄油般游刃有余
Ayo it's like butter it's like butter baby
就像黄油 就像黄油般顺滑宝贝
It's like butter it's like butter baby
就像黄油 就像黄油般顺滑宝贝
It's like butter it's like butter baby
就像黄油 就像黄油般顺滑宝贝
It's like butter it's like butter baby
就像黄油 就像黄油般顺滑宝贝
It's like butter it's like butter baby
就像黄油 就像黄油般顺滑宝贝
It's like butter it's like the butter baby
就像黄油 就像那顺滑的黄油宝贝
Not no Parkay not no margarine
不是人造黄油 更不是廉价替代品
Strictly butter strictly butter baby
纯正奶油般的存在 宝贝
I remember when girls were goodie two shoes
曾记得那些乖乖女的模样
But now they turning freaks
如今却都变得放荡不羁
All of a sudden we love you Phife ease off ho
突然都说爱我 拜托别这样
My name's Malik
我的名字是马利克
Phife this Phife that where you going where you at
到处都在问菲夫在哪 要去何方
These girls don't know me from jack yet I feel like the Mack
这些女孩对我一无所知 我却自觉魅力四射
You didn't want me then so yo hon don't want me now
当初你对我爱答不理 现在也别来高攀
Here here take the towel wipe off your brow
拿着毛巾擦擦汗吧
And take the contact out your eye you're far from looking fly
摘掉美瞳 你离光彩照人还差得远
You get an E for effort and T for nice try
努力值给E 尝试值给T
Now tell me what's the reason for dying your hair
告诉我染发的理由是什么
Slum village gold still dangling in your ear
贫民窟风格的金链还在你耳边晃荡
You barely have a neck but still sporting a rope
脖子都快看不见 还非要戴粗项链
Four-finger ring just so Phifer can scope
四指戒指只为菲佛能看清
You looked in the mirror didn't know what to do
你望着镜中不知所措
Yesterday your eyes were brown but today they are blue
昨日眼眸还是棕色 今朝却变蓝
Your whole appearance is a lie and it could never be true
整副皮囊皆是虚妄 永远不真实
And if you really liked yourself then you would try and be you
若你真爱自己 就该做回本真
If your hair and eyes were real I wouldn't have dissed ya
若你秀发明眸皆天然 我本不会轻视
But since it was bought I had to dismiss ya
但既是金钱堆砌 我只能转身离去
But if you can't achieve it then why not try and weave it
若天生难以企及 何不尝试编织假象
If you can't extend it then you might as well suspend it
若无法延续 不如就此放手
If you can't braid it best thing to do is fade it
若编不成辫 不如任其散落
I asked who did your hair and you tell me
我问谁为你梳妆 你却说
Diane made it
是黛安的手笔
If you were you and just you talk to you maybe
若真实的你 能与自己对话
But I can't stand no bionic lady
但我实在受不了人造美人
Trying hard to look fly but yo you're looking dumber
费力扮靓却显得更愚笨
If I wanted someone like you I would've swung with Jaime Sommers
若想要你这样的 不如直接找杰米·萨默斯
You wanna be treated right see Father MC
想要被温柔以待 就去找Father MC
Or check Ralph Tresvant for sensitivity
或是向Ralph Tresvant寻求细腻慰藉
Cause I am not the one I got more game than Parker Brothers
我可不是好惹的 手段比Parker Brothers还高明
Phife Dawg is on the mic and I'm smooth like butter
Phife Dawg掌控麦克风 丝滑如黄油般游刃有余
