Common The Light Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-d-doo, diggy-doo, yo

[Hook]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Hook]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Hook]

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

[Verse 3]

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!

[Hook]

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

[Outro]

I’ll take my chances

Before they pass

Pass me by, oh, darling

You need to look at the other side

You’ll agree
