The Light

[Intro]

Uh-huh... alright... alright... alright...

Okay... uh-huh... a-yeah...

[Verse 1]

It was like the Earth twisted around her

She shifted the ground, I was like, "Ohhh!

Shit! She's off the hook"

I would address her decently, but, look

Her body is immaculate, I'm attacking it

From all positions of thinking inside my mind

Hopefully it won't be too inappropriate if I walk over there

And say, "Excuse me, can I have your number, please?

I'll get on my knees if I have to"

She laughed through

The whole episode, just then I knew I had it locked down

No cock-blocking, please, this one's mine

Dimepiece and shit, son, shorty was fine

Every line of mine was like a rhyme, I wouldn't lie, I swear

Sparkling the whole time, as I whispered in her ear

[Chorus]

And I know you will see the light, baby

Once you understand

What you mean to me, darling

And I know you will see the light, baby

Once you understand

What you mean to me, darling

[Verse 2]

Now some say I'm a little bit of thug, slash b-boy gentleman

But – let me introduce myself, also begin

So that you can further understand what I say

I took this last swallow of the Grand Marnier

And slid her to the dancefloor, now she like, "Wow!

Oh, damn... money got style"

Funny how things change when you got a little liquor in you

You're quicker with the tongue, giving me rhythm now, huh

Block the music and the people out to admire the love

The nerve of us, impervious to the entire club

And like marijuana shotguns, let's blow this joint

It's pointless to stay here, so let me anoint

[Chorus]

And I know you will see the light, baby

Once you understand

What you mean to me, darling

And I know you will see the light, baby

Once you understand

What you mean to me, darling

[Verse 3]

We kissing, now we wrestling, sexual confessions

I never lack to pack prophylact', I learned my lesson

First impression – to be discrete, use discretion

Back of the cab, undressin' (Uh-huh)

I'm here with you, sort of like our bond, spiritual

All night, all I could do is stare at you

Cracked the window and the Alizé on the Palisades

Right before she told me her name was Valerie

Her crib was just a mile away, nothing to my salary

She could serve me pain all night and I could tolerate

I'm her horizon, right – but in the night though

Night glow type shit, and I know...

[Chorus]

And I know you will see the light, baby

Once you understand

What you mean to me, darling

And I know you will see the light, baby

Once you understand

What you mean to me, darling

[Outro]

And I know you can... see the light... baby

Once you... understand, what...

What you mean, what you're doing, what you do

No doubt, check it out, now

I know you can see the light... baby

Once you... understand, what...
