The Light
Common

Verse 1:
Yo
I never knew a lu-lu a love like this
Gotta be somethin' for me to write this
Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
Wrote this letter and finally decide to send it
Signed, sealed, delivered for us to grow together
Love has no limit
Let's spin it slow forever
I know ya heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I ain't gon' assault 'em, 'cause I probably did it too
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Some niggas recognize ya light, but they can't handle the glare
Ya know I ain't the type to walk around wit matchin' shirts
A relationship is effort
I will match your work
I wanna be the one to make you happiest and hurt you the most
They say the end is near
It's important that we close
To the most high
Regardless of what happen, on him let's rely

Chorus:
There are times
When you need someone
I will be by your side
There is a light that shines
Special for you and me

Verse 2:
Yo, yo, check it
It's important we communicate
Tune the fate of this union to the right pitch
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There's so much in a name and so much more in you
Few understand the union of woman and man
Sex and a tingle is where they assumin' it land
But that's fly by night for you in the sky, right
For in these cold, shy nights, moon, you my light
If heaven had a height, you would be that tall
Ghetto to coffee shop, wit you I see that all
Let's stick to understandin' and we won't fall
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
So I pray everyday more than anything
Friends we'll stay as we begin to lay
This foundation for a family
Love ain't simple
Why can't it be?
Anything worth havin' you work at annually
Granted we known eachother for some time
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine

Chorus

Verse 3:
Yeah
Yo, yo, check it
It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip hop
An' I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift
Plus you ship hop when it's time to, thinkin' you fresh
Suggestin' beats I should rhyme to
When times when I'm lost I try to find you
You know to give me space when it's times to
My heart's dictionary defines you as love and happiness
Truthfully, it's hard tryin' to practice abstinence
The time we committed, love it was real good
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
I know the sex ain't gon' keep you
But as my equal is how I must treat you
As my reflection, the light, I'ma lead you
An' whatever's right, I'ma feed you
Thik-ah-thah-thik-ah-thah-thik-ah-thik-ah-the-thah
Yo, I'll tell you the rest when I see you
Peace

Chorus
