the light
Common/Just Blaze Lyrics

I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this
I never knew a love like this before

Gotta be something for me to write this
This love is so special, it inspired me to write this song about it

Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
It's been a while since I've seen you

Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
I decided to finally send this letter that I've been working on

Signed, sealed, delivered for us to grow together
I'm committed to growing together in this relationship

Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
Our love can last forever if we take it slow

I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I know you've been hurt before by other men

I ain't gon' solve 'em, 'cause I probably did it too
I'm not going to try to fix your past hurts because I probably caused some of them

Because of you, feelings I handle with care
I handle my feelings carefully because you matter to me

Some niggas recognize the light but they can't handle the glare
Some people can see the good in a relationship, but can't handle the challenges that come with it

You know I ain't the type to walk around with matching shirts
I'm not the type to do things just because they're expected in a relationship

And relationship is effort, I will match your work
Relationships take work, and I'm willing to put in the same effort as you

I wanna be the one to make you happiest and hurt you the most
I want to be the one who brings you the most happiness, but also the one who can hurt you the most

They say the end is near, it's important that we close
People say the end of the world is near, but it's important that we focus on our relationship

To the most high
We should look to a higher power for guidance in our relationship

It's important we communicate
Communication is key in a relationship

And tune the fate of this union to the right pitch
We need to work together to make our relationship successful

I never call you my bitch or even my boo
I don't use derogatory terms to refer to you

There's so much in a name and so much more in you
Your name doesn't define you, there's so much more to you as a person

Few understand the union of woman and man
Not many people understand the true connection between a man and a woman

And sex and a tingle is where they assumin' it land
Some people think the connection between a man and a woman is just physical, but it's much deeper than that

But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write
A physical connection may be fleeting, but the love I have for you is eternal

For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light
You bring light to my life on cold Chicago nights

If heaven had a height you would be that tall
You are the epitome of perfection to me

Let's stick to understanding and we won't fall
Let's focus on understanding each other and our relationship will be stronger

For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
I want to be there for you through the good times and the bad

So I pray every day more than anything
I pray every day that our relationship will stay strong

Friends will stay as we begin to lay
As our relationship grows, we'll always have a strong friendship

This foundation for a family, love ain't simple
Building a foundation for a family takes hard work and dedication

Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually?
Anything worth having takes effort to maintain

Granted we known each other for some time
We've known each other for a while

It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine
I knew you were special from the moment I met you

Take my chances before they pass
I want to take chances in our relationship before it's too late

Pass me by, oh, darling
I don't want to miss out on the chance to be with you

You need to look at the other side
You need to consider the possibility of being with me

You'll agree
I believe you'll see that we're meant to be together
