Common, The Light

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

[Pharoahe Monch]
It was like the earth twisted around her
She shifted the ground I was like, “Ohhhhh.. S–T!”
She’s off the hook, I would dress her decently
but look her body is immaculate I’m attackin it from all positions
of thinkin inside my mind-ah
Hopefully it won’t be too inappropriate if I walk over there and say,
“Excuse me, can I have your number please?

When I first saw you,
I thought that I knew you.
Now I know I don’t
Just wish that I did.
Honey made a right
Stepped of took flight
Upstairs, up more,
Made a left and head.
Looked down at my shoes
