[Bm] _ _ I never knew a law, law, law, law like this.
Gotta be [G] something for me to write this.
King, I ain't seen you in a while. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] I know I [G] _
_ _ _ _ [D] ain't the type to walk [G] around with matching shirts.
Relationship is effort.
I will match work.
I want to be the one that make you happiest and hurts the most.
I say the end is near, it's important that we're close [Bm] to the most high.
Godless of what happened on him, bless the light.
There are [D] times _ [G] when we need someone.
Yeah.
_ [D] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [G] _ There [D] _ _
is a light [C] that shines, [Bm] special for you [G] and me.
Yeah, yeah.
It's important we communicate and tune the fate of this union to the right pitch.
I never call you my bitch or even my boo.
There's so much in the name and so much more than you.
Few understand the union of woman and man.
Sex and the tingle is where they assume it'll land.
[D] But that's fly by night with you in the sky [G] bright.
When these cold, shy nights moon you my light.
[D] If heaven had a height, you [G] would be that tall.
Ghetto to cop shop, you I see that all.
[Bm] Let's stick to understanding that we won't fall.
[G] For better or worse times, come home to me you call.
[Bm] So I pray every day more than anything, friends will stay as we begin [G] to lay.
This foundation for a family.
Love ain't simple.
Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually?
[D] Granted we've known each [Bm] other for some time.
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine.
There are times when we [G] need someone.
_ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ Yeah.
There is a light [D] that shines, _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] special for you [Bm] and me.
[G] Yeah, yeah.
Sex is [D] kind of fresh.
You listen to more of the [G] hip hop and I can catch you in the mix.
From beauty to thrift shop, plus you shit pop when it's time to.
I'm thinking you fresh, just in peace.
I surround you with times when I'm lost.
I [D] try to find you, you know, to give me space when it's time to.
My dictionary defines you.
[G] It's love and happiness.
Truthfully, it's hard trying to practice happiness.
[D] The time we committed love, it was [G] real good.
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good.
I [D] know sex ain't gonna keep you, but [Em] as my equal, it's how I [F#m] must treat [D] you.
As my reflection, the light I'mma lead you.
[G] And whatever's right, I'mma feed you.
D-k-daw, d [D]-k-daw, d-k-daw, d [Bm]-k-d-d-d-daw.
Yo, I'll tell you to rest when I see you.
Please.
I'll tell you to rest, because we will need someone [D] who will start _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] with.
There [Bm] is a light that [D] shines, special for you [Bm] and [G] me.
_ [D] _ Oh, oh, [Bm] oh.
_ _ _ _ Thank _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ you so [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ [D] much for _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] listening.
