The Light Lyrics
Artist: Common
Yeah..
Doo-doo-doo, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm..
Doo-doo-d-doo, diggy-doo YO..
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 em cause I probably did it too
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Some niggaz 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 wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts 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..
Yo, yo, check it
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 and 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 everyday more than anything
friends will stay as we begin to lay
this foundation for a family - love ain't simple
Why can't it be anything worth having 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, oh darling
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..
Yeah.. yo, yo, check it
It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
Plus you ship hop 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..

Its a Nice Song And My Boyfriend Kept Telling Me To Listen To It Cause He Said That's How He Felt About Me.Ily babe
I remember I dedicated this song to my last ex 4 years ago lol boy I was sure wrong to have done that. The wrong women to dedicate a such a beautiful song to lol. Yet this song still is a fantasy for me until I meet that right women Inshallah.
I met this guy and it was definitely love <3 we got to know eachother for a while and one day I got flowers sent to my house and I'n the card that came with it these lyrics were I'n it. I didn't know what song it was until he told me it was .. and when I heard It i loved it.. we dated for about a year this song was a huge part of our relationship.. it was our song.. I broke up with him although I do wish it would have worked out much better but it didn't:/ but one day I was sent a URL for a song on YouTube and it was the beat from this song except common wasn't singing Harry was .. it's called Bella Italia- h Cooke... and it made me cry hearing it .. I love him so much but I think it's too messed up to fix at this point ... but the point is common the light is a phenomenal song
best song ever..big up common
Everytime I hear this song I smile. Every guy should make their lady feel special.I wish I had a man that would tell me this.
This is the realiest song that i have ever heard.Love you Common
What a horribly incoherent bunch of senseless phrases strung together in 1st grade level English. Total rubbish. I doubt his fans have ever read anything by D H Lawrence. If you have you would know Common knows nothing about love.
Ronnie, don't comment here son. You obviously cannot comprehend hip hop and probably did not grow up in the states to understand the lyrics properly. Did you notice you are the only piece of shit posting garbage?
This is a beautiful song. I love hip hop. This is Real hip hop. Best of the best. I love it!
my baby dedicated this song to moi! I love uuu
This was our wedding song. 10 years of marriage and it still brings tears to my eyes...... Very sweet, deep song.
This song is the shit like literlay! To dwn XD
yeah common is da best real hip hop
Happy to see and hear strong love ryrics from real Hiphop nation ambassador.
Here in South Africa we have poets and HipHop artists as well. But Common is a combination of both. Ever since I've heard The Light its been my favourite track year after year. Yeah, this year too! There can be no other. Hope one day I can fly to America, check out Chicago for myself and see where Com gets his inspiration.
Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da
Yo I tell you the rest when I see you,
this are some of the best love lines ever!
Yo anybdy hatin on this song s fucked up.common is doin it big tym so fuck ya'll hatin on this niggah
