The song saw minor to moderate success only with peak positions of number 72 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
The listener is taken from street drama on "My Dogz Iz My Gunz" to metaphysical musings on "Oh My God" and rage-filled vents on his girlfriend in "Cheatin'" before an ironic post-mortal cover version of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" finishes this album which went deeper than many critics had expected from the hardcore rapper.
Entitled Butterfly Kisses, this album produced four singles, none of which reached top 40: "Do It Again" at number 55; the album's title track (number 62), which was also a Number One Adult Contemporary hit and minor country hit for Bob Carlisle as well as a Top 40 pop and country hit for the Raybon Brothers; "Here's the Deal" (number 64); and "Cheatin' on Her Heart" (number 52).
"Lay a Little Lovin' on Me" is a 1970 song recorded by Robin McNamara.
Together with McNamara's then songwriting partner Jim Cretecos, they wrote a song called "Lay a Little Lovin' on Me" which McNamara took to #11 on Billboard's Hot 100 survey in the summer of 1970.
Linguistically the song is notable for its use of the archaic form of the second person singular pronoun, Thou/Thee, in the phrase: "Respectfully I say to thee I'm aware that you're cheatin'."
There are many tongue-in-cheek references to sex and drug use over the course of the video (they attend Wannagett High School, the homecoming queen is named Ivana Getchuharde, and the school's team is the Wannagett Beavers).
