(Cherish the love we had)
As far back as I remember, the game's been played
Boy chase girl and girl dissed the boy.
But there's only one exception to the rule
and that is loot and a whole big bag of it.
Now, I'm speaking from experience,
and when you're broke you know you get no skiniens.
And if you lucky like Luciano, now here's my motto,
Lay it one by one and make sure it's legato.
Straight up macin' in a rental, now see me smile.
My clothes are all from marshalls and I got my game tight.
And prayin' that the gold stays on my ring
and if not I'll spray that shit on, again.
It's all good, I learned how to roll with the punches
in order for me to get a little somethin'-somethin'.
It wasn't the bomb, but, Yo, I ain't complainin'.
I thank the lord and so I cherish it, oh.

[Chorus]
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live.
Cherish the love, cherish the love, cherish the love.
Cherish the love we have for as long as we both shall live.
Cherish the love, cherish the love, cherish the love.

Oh, aha, yeah.

Nucky for this Biggie Bear Body
the game's alright, but this fellow get no kind of money.
So funny, cause I is broke as a joke,
But still I maintain to hold my own.
Selective, and checkin' my prospective, active,
and you all disreactin', negative,
'cause all I speak is the truth, all I need is a roof
and the rest is all good.
I've played the Mac, but so does everybody else.
I'm blessed with my family and my friends.
A chosen few in my life that I cherish.
And you other "player-haters" better just vanish.
I often pray before I lay down by your side.
If you received your calling before i awake.
could I make it trough the might.
I'm telling you, man.

[Chorus: x2]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.

Cherish the love.
Baby, I surely do love you!
Why don't we cherish the love?
Cherish the love.
