The Light [piano Mix] Lyrics - Hidden Beach Presents: The Original Jill Scott From The Vault, Vol. 1 - Jill Scott

I was rollin' down the way, and I saw this girl 

About twelve years old, in a grown up world 

She liked fancy cars, fancy rings 

She wanted the life that only money could bring 

I could tell that she, by the look in her eyes 

Would do anything, to get that life 

Didn't talk down to her, didn't make her cry 

But I said a few words that could change her life 

(When it comes) 

I say, I say 

(The light, the light) 

(Don't front on it) Don't front on it 

(The light, the light) 

(When it comes) When it comes, when it comes 

(The light, the light, don't run from it 

The light, the light) Hey 

I was sittin' here trippin', 'bout half of the night 

'Cause the song that I was working on was bringing me strife 

Don't wanna give up, 'cause it's just that nice 

Let me stop tryna force the issue 

I been getting all the right lines 

But I ain't been paying attention 

Must be trippin' off of what them 

Records executives mention 

Want me to be what they want me to be 

But that ain't really my vision 

I'm scorching hot like fire 

So let me stop all this trippin' 

Forgin' to my own funky fantastic dimension 

Let me do what a sister like me do 

And put some funk in the kitchen 

Let me stop all this trippin' and listen 

[Repeat: x2] 

When it comes the light, the light 

Don't front on it the light, the light 

When it comes the light, the light, don't run from it 

The light, the light
