Cherish the Day

[Intro: Sade]
If you were mine
I wouldn't want to go
I cherish the day

[Verse 1: Poetik]
Poetik still keep the funk knockin' out your trunk
The hamo bandit smokin' mics like a bag of skunk
Might just be the one to motivate the block like crack did
Illest Samoa, my tight rappin' on your atlas
Sharper than sapelus that I keep under my mattress
So keep me on your tracklist, homes, I'm that nice
[?] beneath my backwards flows, get outta sight
Might snipe ya, [?] as I'm steppin' out the weekend
You feel the pain with my [?] razor blade
I go insane, Lord forgive me for my ghetto ways
Uso with an attitude, the smooth [?] lights came through
Slip with the groove, came to shadow fools
Ask about me if you ain't knowin'
Stick with the flow and enter dames like a cheap Trojan
I ain't from nowhere, jack, unless it's right here
Recognize the ville like that, and this is Apia
685, I'm the livest one, you step the mic
You jeopardizin' your survival, son, you might get done
I keep you at mind like my rivals, son, I might have to spray
The day he comes to take my life away

[Hook: Sade/Poetik]
Cherish the day (a word of caution from the queen Sade)
Cherish the day (a word of caution from the queen Sade)
Cherish the day (a word of caution from the queen Sade)
Cherish the day (watch your mouth when you come about)

[Verse 2: Poetik]
Recollectin' all them usos who done passed away
Pass the J, I'm gettin' lifted like I'm George McCrae
Don't get it twisted, 'cause we soldiers if we got an issue
Peace to my fama in the slammer, know we rockin' with you
Pass the bovi, let me set it off
Garden of tap of [?], dark as jackal
Used to vandalize the streets, I'm from and still in 'em
Now I rap and rep the streets where I'm from so here I come
Gunner for your spot, call a cop if you snitch, mate
Disconnect your ribcage with a rusty switchblade
You talkin' to [?], but none the wiser
If I rise then your chin is shattered
I be the baddest native brown brother with the cause
I'm even usin' hollow tips to get my point across
Straight duckin' laws, you might collapse tryin' to adapt
I'm runnin' laps 'round your distract while sippin' yack
So just relax, highly flammable like acetone
And I'm ruthless, mackin' broads at my pastor's home
Let's get it on, hope what I'm sayin' ain't too alarmin'
But mami, I'ma snatch that body out that undergarments
And get it wet like, like, yeah

[Hook: Sade/Poetik]
Cherish the day (a word of caution from the queen Sade)
Cherish the day (a word of caution from the queen Sade)
Cherish the day (a word of caution from the queen Sade)
Cherish the day (watch your mouth when you come about)

[Verse 3: Poetik]
Let the [?] hamofied funk dock
Came to rock the spot in the parking lot, hit the sweetest twat
Then break the fuck up, Vailima sippin'
They say, "Poet, how you doin'?"
Though your tooth is missin', uce, I'm gifted
Caught in the life, yep, it does entice, ill precise
Hit the prison vice then I can gap it with the merchandise
Them stockin' caps I used to cut up to hit the ville
Plottin' on this grill, robbin' still was our bread and butter
No way you at when you cross our paths
Realistic, I could leave you stuck and twisted, come and tryna rap
Get on my level, I'm the Apia Nas
I could leave ya baby mama singing "oh my god", yeah

[Outro: Poetik/Sade]
Yeah, 1990... 2016, some shit like that (Cherish the day)
Kickin' it real and raw for all you busta MCs tryna front like you know what the fuck we do out here
All you fake MCs better kneel and kiss the muthafuckin' ring (Cherish the day)
Even though I don't have one, one day, I'mma buy one and then when I have it, you can fuckin' kiss it, you bitch
Yeah, 685 (Cherish the day)
All you bustas out there talkin' about Apia, you ain't even from here
Can't even walk the streets at night without gettin' your heads split the fuck open (Cherish the day)
