The Light (Piano Mix) - 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

[Chorus:]

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

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

Cause the song that I was working on

Was bringing me strife

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

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

[Chorus: 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
