Papoose Precious Jewel Lyrics

I think I fell in love with her when she told me a story
What she been through in her life
Her pain and the glory
Certain situations wish I was there
Woulda protected her
She survived it by herself
I respected her
We exchanged numbers
I started textin' her
That wasn't enough, no, had to get next to her
She had the black drop top
I wanna sit with her
Starin' in her eyes
Thinkin' of havin' sex with her
It was somethin' special about her
So I treasured her
Like our king, did Lisa in "Coming to America"
I was overseas when they arrested her
Left a tour, hopped on a plane, I had to rep for her
Sometimes I wished it was me locked instead of her
Swear to God, I almost died the day they sentenced her
But we stayed loyal
They couldn't sever us
Things happen for a reason
I guess it bettered us

All I (All I) wanna do (want do)
All the things (All the things) other niggas won't do
(What they won't do)
I'll do them for you
(All I) All I (I just wanna do) I wanna do
All the things (That they won't do) other niggas won't do
(What them other niggas won't do)
I'll do them for you (Whoa, baby)

Precious
Precious
Baby, I'm gon' treasure you like a precious jewel
(Like a precious jewel)
(You're so) Precious
Precious
Precious, yeah
You deserve the best and nothin' less, it's true
(Deserve the best, it's true)
(Nothin' less than the best for you)

It's the black loveologist
Pisces to astrologists
Nibble on your nipple will have you bitin' your bottom lip
Inner beauty, I seen it inside of her
Before I met you I was your secret admirer
Security, I gotta pat you down
Titties so big they might back me down
Laid back smokin' on a black and mild
Chillin', we gon' do it macky style

Uh, this goes out to the queens
Never have low self-esteem
He can't respond to a text that he seen
He said he busy, what the f*ck that clown mean? We all busy from time to time
But when you feelin' your lady you gon' find the time, uh
I just think you too much of a fly chick
For you to ever, ever be a side bitch

All I (All I) wanna do (want do)
All the things (All the things) other niggas won't do (yeah)
(What they won't do)
I'll do them for you
(All I) All I (I just wanna do) I wanna do
All the things (That they won't do) other niggas won't do
(What them other niggas won't do)
I'll do them for you
(Whoa)

Precious
Precious
Baby, I'm gon' treasure you like a precious jewel
Like a precious jewel
You're so precious, yeah
You deserve the best and nothin' less, it's true
(Nothin' less than the best for you)
Nothin' less than the best for you

Sometimes I caught up on how you so beautiful, I can't help but stare
I just be standin')
Yeah
They be trippin' on how I show you love in public
But I don't even care
(If they only knew) what me and you (done been through)
And we've been through it (Just for that [?] me and you)
Sometimes I gotta celebrate the fact that we found a way
We stay in love through all the hate

That's why
That's why I had to leave you permanent
Part of my journey
Me lovin', you heard me
You've been low, you've been high
But I've always been right there by your side
Guess that's why we ride until the end of time
This kind of love is so alive

(Precious)
A woman is the most precious jewel
(Precious)
More precious than a ruby, emerald, diamond or sapphire
(Baby, I'm gon' treasure you like a precious jewel)
Each man gotta take one woman and rise her above the rest
(You're so precious)
(Precious)
So she can show how precious she is
(You deserve the best and nothin' less, it's true)
Precious jewel
You deserve better, uh
(Nothin' but the best for you)
Black love
Black love
Black love
