Song by Common<br /><br>
(Chorus)<br>
[Erykah Badu]<br>
There are times.. when you'll need someone..<br>
I will be by your side..<br>
There is a light, that shines,<br>
Special for you, and me..<br>
<br>
I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this<br>
Gotta be somethin for me to write this<br>
Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute<br>
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it<br>
Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together<br>
Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever<br>
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you<br>
I ain't gon' assault em cause I probably did it too<br>
Because of you, feelings I handle with care<br>
Some niggaz recognize the light but they can't handle the glare<br>
You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin shirts<br>
If relationship is effort I will match your work<br>
I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most<br>
They say the end is near, it's important that we close..<br>
.. to the most, high<br>
Regardless of what happen on him let's rely<br>
<br>
(Chorus)<br>
<br>
Yo, yo, check it<br>
It's important, we communicate<br>
and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch<br>
I never call you my bitch or even my boo<br>
There's so much in a name and so much more in you<br>
Few understand the union of woman and man<br>
And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land<br>
But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write<br>
For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light<br>
If heaven had a height, you would be that tall<br>
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all<br>
Let's stick to understandin and we won't fall<br>
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call<br>
So I pray everyday more than anything<br>
friends will stay as we begin to lay<br>
this foundation for a family - love ain't simple<br>
Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually<br>
Granted we known each other for some time<br>
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine<br>
<br>
(Chorus)<br>
<br>
Yeah.. yo, yo, check it<br>
It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop<br>
and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop<br>
Plus you ship hop when it's time to, thinkin you fresh<br>
Suggestin beats I should rhyme to<br>
At times when I'm lost I try to find you<br>
You know to give me space when it's time to<br>
My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness<br>
Truthfully it's hard tryin to practice abstinence<br>
The time we committed love it was real good<br>
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good<br>
I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal<br>
it's how I must treat you<br>
As my reflection in light I'ma lead you<br>
And whatever's right, I'ma feed you<br>
Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da<br>
Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace<br>
<br>
(Chorus)<br>
