Shout outs to J Dilla

Just Blaze...

It's love... Common...

I never knew a love, love, a love like this

It's sorta like the love that's played in tennis

Limitless, when intimate friends express it

I talked to the Most, and I know he blessed it

The cadence of destiny, patience, and ecstacy

We can be fresh on the, cover of Ebony

But this is somethin special we ain't tryna exploit

With a couple a actresses, now I'm in the tabloids

Like bad boys, real love moves in silence

About out bih'ness, family bih'ness stay private

Don't sweat the small stuff girl, cause we both giants

I looked into your eye's and I see divine vibrance

The way that Prince, Minnie Rip' and Joni Mitch' described it

A beautiful package, what's even better is inside it

Alive with the feelings that I'm feelin' with you

Forever became real, but even realer with you - it's love

It's love, it's love everytime I think about your smile

Anytime I need you by my side, you were there for me

'cause you are THE LIGHT, that shiiiiines

And I want the world to see, that you are THE LIGHT

That shines, you are my life

Loooove...

It's important we communicate

And watch this relationship illuminate the world

Black pearl in you is a lover and friend

Picture how your name will sound with the last name Lynn

Put a prayer in the air, that it never'll end

And if so, when we come back, it'll be better again

I will be by your side through the smile & laughs,

The child we have, even when the clouds is bad

I know your heart had been broken by a love that pass

And when you're not lookin, that's when love can grab

Sometimes you gotta ask, "Are we movin too fast? "

Ain't no limit to a love, that's given from above

Mean fish, collard greens, corn bread, you be rockin it

Similar values, though in many ways we opposite

Attracted to your 'uh', and the way that you be poppin it

Brighten my life reminded me to stay positive - it's love

It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop

Pop, rock, and Green Day, respectin what the King say

For me to give a ring, hey, only a queen may

Invites to loved ones, imagine a dream day

Walkin down the aisles sayin vows, us eternal.

Til thus do us, for now we stay fertile

Chicka-uh, chicka-uh, chicka-chicka-ta uh

Let's keep creatin baby, what we makin' is love

Love is like a melody

Looked into her eyes and see

A night that shines as bright as day

All my troubles drift away,

The liiiiight, the liiiight, the liiiight

(Looked into her eyes and see)

The liiiiiight, the liiiiight, the liii-hiii-hi-hiiiiight

{Marsha Ambrosius harmonizes as "Once again, it's the light! " is scratched}

You have somebody... don't be embarrassed, don't be afraid

Put 'em close, let 'em know...

You might not get another chance, trust!

(There is a liiiight, that shiiiines... ooooooh whoooooo-whoooa...)
