(Hitmaka!)
Let's have sex, but not without the foreplay (okay, cool)
But not without the first date (okay, cool)
But not before I have to wonder if you let me hit if I walk you to your door way
Let's have sex, but not without the sprees babe (okay, cool)
Not without the vacays, no
Ohh, it's the way it goes
Now don't this feel right (don't this feel right)
I'm tryna put you in the light (tryna put you in the light)
Ooh, it's the way you go
Now don't say goodnight (don't say goodnight)
I'm tryna fuck you on top
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But these days I'm thinkin' maybe we should fuck again
I'm tryna meet you in Vegas and try my luck again
All your friends say you ain't really in love with him
Started off the Henn' and now I'm off the Patron
Had to switch it up, I had to hit your phone
Can you picture us posted on the wall?
Can you picture us posted on the wall?
I put her to sleep, she woke up like that
Breakfast in bed, I ordered her for a snack
Then get to the bag, talkin' a big payback
Roll my Wood' and give her good
Ohh, it's the way it goes
Now don't this feel right (don't this feel right)
I'm tryna put you in the light (tryna put you in the light)
Ooh, it's the way you go
Now don't say goodnight (don't say goodnight)
I'm tryna fuck you on top
Let's have sex, but not without the foreplay (ooh yeah, okay cool)
But not without the first date (ooh yeah, okay cool)
But not before I have to wonder if you let me hit if I walk you to your door way
Let's have sex, but not without the sprees babe (ooh yeah, okay cool)
Not without the vacays, no
Ohh, it's the way it goes
Now don't this feel right (don't this feel right)
I'm tryna put you in the light (tryna put you in the light)
Ooh, it's the way you go
Now don't say goodnight (don't say goodnight)
I'm tryna fuck you on top
The lyrics to Ty Dolla $ign's song The Light contain a mix of suggestive language and romantic gestures. The song's opening lines start with the desire to have sex but only after engaging in foreplay and a first date. The singer also questions if his date would let him in if he walked her to her doorstep. These lyrics suggest that the singer values the romantic aspect of a relationship before pursuing something physical.
In the chorus, the singer sings about trying to "put [his date] in the light" and not wanting to say goodnight. He further clarifies that he is βtryna fuck [her] on topβ - this phrase is crude, but it falls in line with the songβs sexy, slow jam vibe.
The second half of the song showcases Ty Dolla $ign telling his ex-partner that she should consider restoring their relationship. He talks about traveling to Vegas and "trying his luck again." He acknowledges that her friends say she isn't really in love with her new partner and suggests a reconciliation with him.
Overall, The Light is a song about relationship beginnings and endings with a focus on the desire for both lust and love. The lyrics mix sensuality with the hesitation and indecisiveness of new relationships.
