The Light (Live Album Version|Explicit)

The Light - Common
Get down
Go ladies come on
Get down go ladies
Let me hear you say ow
Say ow
Now homeboys make some noise
Where my guys homeboys make some noise
Let me hear you say ho
Say ho
I never knew a luh luh-luh 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 spend it slow forever
Your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I ain't gon' assault them 'cause I probably did it too
Because of you feelings I handle with care
N***as recognize the light they can't handle the glare
I ain't the type to walk around with matchin' shirts
If relationship is effort I will match your work
I want to be the one to make you happiest
And hurt you the most
The end is near it's important that we close
To the most high
Regardless of what happen on him let's rely
There are times
When you'll need someone
I will be by your side
There is a light that shines
Special for you and me
It's important we communicate
And tune the fate of this union to the right pitch
I never call you my b***h or even my boo
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 assume that it land
Fly by night you in the sky I write
These cold Chi night's moon you my light
Heaven had a height you would be that tall
Ghetto to coffee shop through you I see that all
Let's stick to understandin' and we won't fall
Better or worse times I hope to me you call
I pray every day 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
We known each other for some time
It don't take a whole day to recognize
There are times
When you'll need someone
I will be by your side
There is a light that shines
Special for you and me
It's kind of fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
Catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
You s**t pop when it's time to
Thinkin' you fresh suggestin' beats I should rhyme to
When I'm lost I try to find you
You know to give me space when it's time to
My heart's dictionary defines you it's 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 still feel good
Sex ain't gon' keep you
But as my equal it's how I must treat you
As my reflection in light I'ma lead you
And whatever's right I'ma feed you
Everybody
Digga-da digga-da digga-da digga-digga-da-da
Yo I tell you the rest when I see you peace
There are times
When you'll need someone
I will be by your side
There is a light that shines
Special for you and me
There are times
When you'll need someone
I will be by your side
There is a light that shines that shines
Special for you
Special for me
Special for you and me
Special for you and me
Everytime I think about you
Everytime I think about you
It's you you you
Special for you and me
It's special for you
You
You and me
Oh baby
