Wale - The Light Lyrics






Uh, Rest in peace Jay Dilla
(Its Hip Hop)
Know I had to do a Jay Dilla joint

I never knew a luh, luh, luh a love like this
I put you over my money, all of my nice kicks
Mmm Not all of em, some still DS
my D & P frizest, they havent seen the streets yet
as I speak to the speakers I'm hopin this reach ya
you are the flawless creature
I'm in awe from all of those features
regardless to all them, I appease her
you is a dime to them other broads peace up
that means two, between me and you
there's nothing man made than can make it just you
my hearts been tied, my souls been glued
the whole block know who I roll with too
them bitches all dimes and you autobooth
I guarantee our change whatever we go through
I told you before the light Imma show you...you

[Chorus]
There are times when you'll need someone
I will be by your side
There is a light that shines
special for you and me

Its important we communicate, intentions to be forever but never cannot wait
Never becomes prominent, all we doin is arguin
Arguably retarded cause after sex we stop again
It's the best, I've forgotten what a condom is
Life's a meal a good girl is a condiment
I compliment you with your conversation
Cause any girl could look good if she concentratin
and personality is somethin that you cant make up
sense of humour is a tool that you cant change up
Look, I ain gatta tell you, you know what I'm thinkin
yea, a nigga shallow but I'm a deep thinker
In life she the wife who was right in that deep end
given her the TLC I'll never creep then
she make me Chili like T-Boz, me leave her out,
I'd rather wear a pair of Filas or Reeboks

[Chorus]
There are times when you'll need someone
I will be by your side
There is a light that shines
special for you and me

It's kinda fresh you listen to more than Wale
nevermind I'm lyin she bumpin me all day
Honey is always the one Imma call late
night I need that she comin here right away
night or day she need me
hit it or four play
I'm feedin her the light just like what the chorus say
Hey, she give me love in abundance
Plus she outrun any youngin that I've hung with
a fun chick its nothin to break funds with
I can do a whole song solely on that onion
My soul searchin is halted
I have opted to stop watchin them broads that bin plottin
You so got me, I'm open for life forever my wife
focus let me show you the light

[Chorus]
There are times when you'll need someone
I will be by your side
There is a light that shines
special for you and me

    2013 im still bumping this like its brand new

  15. T.... G....

    If you go listen to Lil B's "I'm Gay", I am pretty sure you would change your mind about him.

  16. s.... ....

    but... Lil B never signed to soulja and makes alot of other songs besides what gets all the media attention because of its controversy. 9th Wonder even cosigned him. Listen to Based for your face

  17. T.... ....

    @verizonlamborghini well thanks to Jay and Ye and BOA and MMG he dosnt need mainstream to really support him and to betray his own soul ha

  18. T.... ....

    @odog9338 dont hate though soulja is another kid who has a dream and greatness comes over time not in one sitting like a Jay Z figure so if he wants to rap let him

  19. A.... O....

    @verizonlamborghini MMG...SMH

  20. o.... w....

    wale should rap over more dilla beats. He always shows his best on dilla beats

  21. L.... ....

    @dntfckaround19 that means shit all, no one gets in the rap game to be a broke ass mixtape rapper, everyone deep down wants to blow up nd b famous and the longer you stay in the game the more its inevitable and with fame you gotta change your style and go mainstream, no way around it. very few stay real, one of my fav is cormega, been in the game hell of a long time and hes consistant as fuck never went mainstream same with nas

  22. j.... g....

    @verizonlamborghini sadly he has :/

  23. D.... ....

  32. O.... J....

    type "ceej in for the kill" damn the kid ripped it!!!!!!!!

  33. V.... ....

    @verizonlamborghini Well now he's in raggedy ass MMG so.... we'll see.

  34. Y.... ....

    @verizonlamborghini he did he's with MMG now

  35. v.... r....

    This is real hip-hop

  36. V.... ....

    @CTP3000 i kind of do too, but at the same time i feel like if he sold out then the industry would try to make him all mainstream and turn him into a cliche, idk i'm torn lol

  37. V.... ....

    i hope Wale doesn't trade his soul in exchange for mainstream airplay....

  38. T.... ....

    @verizonlamborghini i agree with you, i hope he won't sell out in the end...let's hope the MMG move with Rick Ross won't kill our hopes

  39. w.... ....

    @loveub88 lol he said fuckery

  40. m.... ....

    @loveub88 they still have brains.. and why does it have to be a white guy :P

  41. H.... ....

    soulja boy killed hip hop. point blank period

  42. t.... ....

    TYPE IN.....JOHN BOYE IMA DO DAT

  43. t.... ....

    argubably retarded because after sex we stop again haaah

  44. A.... M....

    @lilchip6 while soulja is garbage, i think lil B is worse (funny how soulja boy signed him....trash recognize trash ig)

  45. D.... ....

    @FlyBOyRAy92 yea ido.

  46. T.... ....

    @DISSguy118 the light by common

  47. D.... ....

    And what song did he sample?

  48. D.... ....

    My fav rappers
    1. Wale
    2. Lupe Fiasco
    3. Ludacris
    4. Eminem
    5. Kanye West
    Agree or disagree, idgaf. Its my opinion haha. Listen to mah dude Cyhi tho.

  49. E.... ....

    every time i come across a good song people seem to think its relevant to bring soulja boy or lil waynes name into this..

  50. 0.... ....

    "c- a personality is something that you can't make-up," lol

  51. D.... D....

    This is da Wale dat reminded me of da old school lyricists. Da Wale from 2009 and up is different then the Wale frum 2008 and down. I hope Wale starts makin music like this again

  52. l.... ....

    this is hip hop right here.

  53. h.... l....

    @loveub88 lol i love how it was a white dude of course

  54. M.... W....

    @Rapturous Verbatim dude this is not the first person 2 rap on one a dilla's beats and mention a pair of kicks & im pretty sure dilla would not have cared cuz wale is one of the last dying breed of ACTUAL HIP HOP RAPPERS so come correct before you diss my man wale like that.

  55. T.... ....

    @RapturousVerbatim are you serious? I'm a huge dilla fan, an this cut of the track was done right.

  56. J.... R....

    ERiC PUMPER - " BLACK AND YELLOW " WIZ KHALIFA [ FREESTYLE ] /watch?v=iYNNoNLpHHU

  57. T.... T....

    mcb3946 i can't say no more.u've said everything i wanna say.WALE is a revelation of good music to come.hip hop ain't dead yet.i hope new artist coming would follow WALE's footsteps and not that of wayne,gucci,drake,nikki's e.t.c mainstream gabbage.

  58. J.... ....

    dude i think that Common is proud of Wale. he added his own style but still on that deep level like common didnt disappoint.

  59. M.... ....

    someone get me the lyrics to this!!!!

  60. A.... ....

    @CeroStar23 its not a sample its the same exact beat a cover is what it is

  61. l.... ....

    @EthioArsonist lmfao i guess so

  62. l.... ....

    @EthioArsonist bull shit....errbody listen to soulja...except me

  63. D.... V....

    @stevew810i idk about the majority. around here people are into real rap,well at least my friends

  64. G.... M....

    wale the truth

  65. B.... S....

    shut the fuck up white boy

  66. A.... ....

    @mills1540 whoah where are you from

  67. A.... P....

    wale is legit, but no one can hit this beat like Common did

  68. C.... M....

    @7Va0Ba3 dude beatles were genius and way ahead of there time.

  69. C.... M....

    actually most white fans are more into lryrics and dont care about a image. Budden is 1 of the most lyrical dudes and only people i know who like him are white people.

  70. W.... M....

    @Hotdam165 thats some real shit why cant everyone understand that so many haters people just love to talk shit'

  71. t.... ....

    @oBiGNaTEo lmfao ey my bad i fucked that comment up completely yo. when i said "soulja is dope." i was quoting the other idiot who said that shyt. i fukkin hate soulja boy. dat nigga is trash. i was tellin the soulja boy fan to get off this page.

  72. b.... ....

    CHECK OUT WALE DIRTY MONEY FREESTYLE DOPE!!!

  73. t.... ....

    @mastafresh wtf. soulja is dope. are u stupid? wtf are u doing on this page u idiot.

  74. D.... M....

    shit iz fire

  75. A.... 3....

    I love smooth lyrical rap that is the definition of common and Wale is too

  76. k.... ....

    after you hear common on this anthing else sounds less thought of

  77. l.... ....

    this white guy in my class said " soulja boy goes hard. he is the best rapper of all time". i couldn't believe my ears so i asked him to repeat it...yes he really said it. he was serious too. at that moment i realized i am in a special ed class,because there is no fucking way a person with a brain could possibly think some fuckery like that.

  78. M.... S....

    I really like the way Wale reworked this classic beat. Dilla was one of the greatest producers of all time and its really good that an up and coming artist is showing that dude love. just saw Wale last night and he puts on a great show with a full band.

  79. r.... b....

    @BingoIsMyName023 i dont like drake cuz wen hes not rappin about money he try to make these songs about his so called depressing life, nigga been rich since that gay show degrassi dont think he even come from the hood he a fraud

  80. S.... B....

    soulja is the worst rapper in the game!

  81. R.... J....

    @rtromp22 Soulja is dope

  82. m.... ....

    yeah he got sick

  83. m.... ....

  84. O.... R....

  85. O.... R....

  86. V.... W....

    aint know j dilla died...

  87. 1.... ....
