Precious Jewel - Papoose, Musiq Soulchild

I think I fell in love with her when she told me her story

What she been through in her life, her pain and her glory

Certain situations, wish I was there, would’ve protected her

She survived it by herself, I respected her

We exchanged numbers, I started textin' her

That wasn’t enough, naw, had to get next to her

She had the black drop-top, I went and set with her

Starin' in her eyes, thinkin' of havin' sex with her

It was somethin' special about her, so I treasured her

Like Akeem did Lisa in Coming to America

I was overseas when they arrested her

Left the tour, hopped on the plane, I had to rep for her

Sometimes I wish that was me locked instead of her

Swear to God I almost died the day they sentenced her

But we stay loyal (Stay loyal), they couldn’t sever us

Things happen for a reason, I guess it bettered us

All I (All I), I wanna do (Wanna do), all the things (All the things)

All them niggas won’t do (Yeah, what they won’t do)

I’ll do them for you (A-A-A-All I)

All I, I just wanna do all the things

That them other niggas won’t do (What them other niggas won’t do)

I’ll do them for you (Whoa)

Precious (Precious)

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 (It's true)

Nothin' less than the best for you (It's true)

It’s the black loveologist

Pisces to astrologist

Nibble on your nipple and 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 (Pat you down)

Titties so big they might back me down (Back me down)

Lay back, smokin' on a Black & Mild

Chillin', we gon' do it macky style

Uh, this goes out to the queens (Queens)

Never have low self-esteem (Nope)

He can’t respond to a text that he seen?

(What?)

He say he busy, what the fuck 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 (Fly chick)

For you to ever, ever be a side bitch

All I (All I), I wanna do (Wanna do), all the things (All the things)

All them niggas won’t do (Yeah, what they won’t do)

I’ll do them for you (A-A-A-All I)

All I, I just wanna do all the things

That them other niggas won’t do (What them other niggas won’t do)

I’ll do them for you (Whoa)

Precious (Precious)

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 (It's true)

Nothin' less than the best for you (Nothin' less than the best for you)

Sometimes I get caught up in how you so beautiful

I can’t help but stare (I just be starin' at you), yeah

They be trippin' on how I show you love in public, but I don’t even care

(If the only knew), What me and you (Done been through)

And we been through it (Just for there to even be a me and you)

Sometimes I gotta celebrate the fact that we found a way

To stay in love through all the hate

(That's why), That’s why I have to make you a permanent part of my journey

Need love, and you hurt me

You’ve been low, you’ve been high

But I’ve always been right there by your side

Guess that’s why we ridin' 'til the end of time (End of time)

This kind of love is so real (Precious)

A woman is the most precious jewel

More precious than a ruby, emerald, diamond, or sapphire

Each man gotta take one woman and rise her above the rest

So she can show how precious she is

Precious jewel

You deserve better, uh

Black love

Black love

Black love
