Dave Chapelle's Block Party movie - The Light lyrics

rate me

Song by Common feat. Erykah Badu & Bilal<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>

<br>
