Letra de PRECIOUS THINGS - Lupe Fiasco

(Feat. Nayirah)

These precious things

Oh, these things that we love

Oh, these precious things

How they turn, how they turn

Oh, these precious things

Oh, these things that we love

Oh, these precious things

How they turn, how they turn

On me

Never bite the hands that feed

But when those same hands grab the gats and up the sleeves

They gather traps and apparatus for your grief

They catch you lackin', wrap around yo' hatch and squeeze

I swear my hands were pure, I gave 'em manicures

Became my adversaries, became my saboteurs

I put karats on them just like rabbit lures

My middle finger's like, "Fuck this nigga", what happened to us?

Used to be clappin' for us, thumbs up and then snappin' poets

Now they be dappin' fo's and grabbin' Moet

And they know that I don't drink

At least I don't think

I asked for peace signs, they gave me Leon Spinks

I asked for "Okays", I got, "Up yours" and "Go aways"

Shoo gestures and throat slicers, the motion's made

Give me a sign when we can talk through a plan

But my hands was like "Fam, you can talk to the hand," damn

And these precious things

Oh, these things that we love

Oh, these precious things

How they turn, how they turn

Oh, these precious things

Oh, these things that we love

Oh, these precious things

How they turn, how they turn

On me

Who put the arms in arms?

I put arms in palms

We was hand in hand, Allstate

Pinky speaker, thumb receiver how we used to call make

All shakes

Now it's fingers crossed over small stakes

No taller than the crawl space

Give scissors to my paper, we not on the same page

We was bat, catcher, and pitcher, now you don't even wave

We used to throw the shaka, Honolulu from the stage

Now you just wanna throw hands and technicals on my plays (Goddamn)

And these precious things (Yeah, yeah)

Oh, these things that we love

Oh, these precious things (These precious little things)

How they turn, how they turn

Oh, these precious things (Yeah, yeah)

Oh, these things that we love

Oh, these precious things

How they turn, how they turn

On me

It's like you coulda did more to try and keep us out them handcuffs

It's like we only matter when fans is putting they hands up

You got popular, treated us like the Yakuza

You was Vampire Hunter D, now you Alucard

See that's the thing 'cause we was praying for you

Air guitar and playing for you

You turned a deaf ear to what we was saying to you

We was here, can't go back to before

The problem is you don't use us to write the raps anymore

Yeah (Yeah)

Precious, precious, precious, precious

Things that we love

They love, they love

Yeah, yeah

Precious things

Love, love
