The Light Songtext

von Pharoahe Monch

The Light

It was like the earth twisted around her
She shifted the ground
I was like: "Oh shit!
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
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'll laugh through the whole episode
Just then I knew I had her locked down
No cockblockin' 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
Sparklin' the whole time
As I whispered in her ear:

CHORUS: (2x)
And I know you will see the light
Baby, once you understand
What you mean to me, darling

Now some say I'm a little bit a 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 Gran Moulet
And slid her to the dancefloor
Now she like: "Wow, oh damn, money got style!"
Funny how things change
When you got a liquor in you
You're quicker with the tongue
Givin' me rhythm now, uh
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-

We kissin' and we wrestlin'
Sexual confessions
I never lack to pack prophylact
I learned my lesson
First impression:
To be discreet, use discretion
Back of the cab undressin', uh huh
I'm here wit you
Sorta like a bond spiritual
All night, all I could do
Is stare at you
Cracked the window and the Alize on the Palisades
Right before she told me
Her name was Valerie
Her crib was just a mile away
Nothin' 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 you can see the light

-CHORUS-

And I know you can see the light
Baby, once you understand, what,
What you mean to me, girl
What you do, no doubt, check it out now..
