The Light |
| Yeah, doo-doo-doo |
| Doo-doo-d-doo, diggy-doo, yo |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| I know 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 |
| Some niggas recognize the light |
| But they can’t handle the glare |
| You know 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 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 |
| And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land |
| But that’s fly by night, for you in the sky I write |
| For in these cold Chi night’s moon, you my light |
| If 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 |
| For better or worse times, I hope to me you call |
| So 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? |
| Granted we known each other for some time |
| It don’t take a whole day to recognize sunshine |
| 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 |
| And I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop |
| Plus you shit pop when it’s time to |
| Thinkin' you fresh, suggestin' beats I should rhyme to |
| At times 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 and it still feel good |
| I know the 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 |
| 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 |
| I’ll take my chances |
| Before they pass |
| Pass me by, oh, darling |
| You need to look at the other side |
| You’ll agree |
