Just Blaze...
It's love...Common...
[Verse 1: Common]
I never knew a love, love, a love like this
It's sorta like the love that's played in tennis
Limitless, when intimate friends express it
I talked to the Most, and I know he blessed it
The cadence of destiny, patience, and ecstasy
We can be fresh on the cover of Ebony
But this is somethin' special we ain't tryna exploit
With a couple actresses, now I'm in the tabloids
Like bad boys, real love moves in silence
About out bih'ness, family bih'ness stay private
Don't sweat the small stuff, girl, cause we both giants
I looked into your eye's and I see divine vibrance
The way that Prince, Minnie Rip' and Joni Mitch' described it
A beautiful package, what's even better is inside it
Alive with the feelings that I'm feelin' with you
Forever became real, but even realer with you - it's love
[Hook: Marsha Ambrosius]
It's love, it's love every time I think about your smile
Anytime I need you by my side, you were there for me
'Cause you are the light that shines
And I want the world to see that you are the light
That shines, you are my life
Love...
[Verse 2: Common]
It's important we communicate
And watch this relationship illuminate the world
Black pearl in you is a lover and friend
Picture how your name will sound with the last name Lynn
Put a prayer in the air, that it never'll end
And if so, when we come back, it'll be better again
I will be by your side through the smile & laughs
The child we have, even when the clouds is bad
I know your heart had been broken by a love that pass
And when you're not lookin', that's when love can grab
Sometimes you gotta ask, "Are we movin' too fast?"
Ain't no limit to a love, that's given from above
Mean fish, collard greens, corn bread, you be rockin' it
Similar values, though in many ways we opposite
Attracted to your 'uh', and the way that you be poppin' it
Brighten my life reminded me to stay positive - it's love
[Hook: Marsha Ambrosius]
It's love, it's love every time I think about your smile
Anytime I need you by my side, you were there for me
'Cause you are the light that shines
And I want the world to see that you are the light
That shines, you are my life
Love...
[Verse 3: Common]
It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
Pop, rock, and Green Day, respectin' what the King say
For me to give a ring, hey, only a queen may
Invites to loved ones, imagine a dream day
Walkin' down the aisles sayin' vows, us eternal
Til thus do us, for now, we stay fertile
Chicka-uh, chicka-uh, chicka-chicka-ta uh
Let's keep creatin', baby, what we makin' is love
[Bridge: Bilal]
Love is like a melody
Looked into her eyes and see
A night that shines as bright as day
All my troubles drift away
The light, the light, the light
(Looked into her eyes and see)
The light, the light, the li-hi-hi-light
[Hook: Marsha Ambrosius]
It's love, it's love every time I think about your smile
Anytime I need you by my side, you were there for me
Cause you are the light, that shines
And I want the world to see, that you are the light
That shines, you are my life
Love...
[Break: Just Blaze scratching]
"Once again, it's the light!"
[Outro: Just Blaze & Marsha Ambrosius]
You have somebody...don't be embarrassed, don't be afraid
Put 'em close, let em know...
You might not get another chance, trust!
(There is a light, that shines...oh who-whoa...)
