Common - The Light Instrumental With Hook

The Light Instrumental With Hook

[@LittleMissSunshine721]

This beat is like sunlight pouring into a yellow ceramic bathroom on a Sunday morning.

[@dwnpour4122]

Thanks for the beautiful visual, have a blessed day!

[@jewelsforthedome1672]

With a incense burning on side for me...

[@tye350]

This song I can make a car dance to while driving. You can feel it when the car rides to the rhythm of the beat.

[@madmarshall2218]

Bruh you described it perfectly

[@hdhrdfsrkgh]

Or morning sunshine penetrating the thin curtains while waking up in a reserved suite hotel room.

[@eightreasons566]

I like how you can still hear Bobby's voice in the background. Amazing sample

[@Minnevan]

Excellent attention to detail, I’d never noticed before

[@PaulPawlPall]

Yeah, I’ve been listening to this song since it was released, and I just noticed that in the past few years. Unreal.

[@TheLkpuede]

i didnt think anyone noticed that

It's as simple as he's saying Dilla mixed it, so it's better. How'd you miss it lol.

[@toney2410]

@@RenaldyCalixte dilla inspired ye, any true ye fan know

[@lyrics2challenged]

@@RenaldyCalixte calm down man, Ye is still legit. He's not my 🐐 but yeah. At least he more openly acknowledges his samples and whatnot. But Dre? Dude disappointed me over the years. Not his quality, it was when I started getting into older music (like 5 years ago) the more 70s I listened to the more I was hurt. Man just literally took whole ass instrumentals. Can't call it sampling when not shit changed, credits or not. They had a movie portray it as he came up with it on spot. But yeah, most Kanye fans (newer) DON'T know about the massive talented world of producers.

You can't make a top 5, it's impossible, maybe YOUR top five but not for everyone, for example you didn't mention Dre, Q-tip, Ali Shaheeed Muhammad, Kanye, J cole, everyone above and so much more. Never-the-less I agree that Dilla is no. 1 :p

[@CARDO4444]

When it’s hot and just got done raining, and you smell the rain off the hot pavement and see a rainbow.

This Beat is so heavenly.. It makes me think of my Ancestors and reminds me that through all of the hardships and struggles there is the light that shines for me.. Light that feeds my Soul and Etheric Body.. Thank you Dilla 🪶💛🙏🏾💚🪶

[@MrDJCue]

I didn't think I would find this on KZbin. When it popped up you have no idea how happy it made me. This song go hard with the hook by itself.

Especially for you Nina My light shines in dark places You have a light of your own And it will shine in great places Bread and money come and go Relationships lasts when life takes the lead role Grow and grow Toward God Mistakes are made but still we can overcome the odds With faith I’m currently learning about peace and what it takes to keep it have it reflected in me and out to the world Jesus is the way for the world and us Following his commandments will grow our trust Learning about his word increases our knowledge Yeah I may not be great at college But I’m headed toward success No dropping out I’m just looking to pass each days test About love it grows with time The foundation of happiness is truly defined Options and ideas seem to pull and to bind Out our futures and existence as we begin our climb Refined Is what well become Nina If we continue our climb Focused on strength in our design Fearfully and wonderfully made.

thanks so much dude-- love to be able to hear the muted bobby caldwell singing where common's verses are placed

[@MrJuicekrew]

Elliot Robinson That's a feature of the instrumental recording. Don't think you get it much on tunes today. Well, sampling's not as prolific on tracks at the moment. I used to get annoyed when I'd hear muted vocals or, the other way round, barely audible music under an accapella when I was younger. Now I just miss it. Strange huh?

[@KaizerMan]

That's not Bobby Caldwell on the verses. There's two samples used. Bobby is only on the hook

[Intro] Yeah, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-d-doo, diggy-doo, yo [Hook] 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 [Verse 1] I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this Gotta be somethin' for me to write this Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it Signed, sealed, delivered, for us to grow together Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you I ain't gon' assault them, ‘cause I probably did it too Because of you, feelings I handle with care Some niggas recognize the light But they can't handle the glare You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin' shirts If relationship is effort I will match your work I want to be the one to make you happiest And hurt you the most They say the end is near, it's important that we close To the most high Regardless of what happen, on Him let's rely [Hook] 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 [Verse 2] 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 a name and so much more in you Few understand the union of woman and man And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land But that's fly by night, for you in the sky I write For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light If Heaven had a height, you would be that tall Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all Let's stick to understandin' and we won't fall For better or worse times, I hope to me you call So I pray every day more than anything Friends we'll stay as we begin to lay This foundation for a family, love ain't simple Why can't it be anything worth havin' you work at annually? Granted we known each other for some time It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine [Hook] 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 [Verse 3] It's kind of fresh you listen to more than hip-hop And I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop Plus you shit pop when it's time to Thinkin' you fresh, suggestin' beats I should rhyme to At times when I'm lost I try to find you You know to give me space when it's time to My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness Truthfully it's hard tryin' to practice abstinence The time we committed love, it was real good Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good I know the sex ain't gon' keep you But as my equal, it's how I must treat you As my reflection in light I'ma lead you And whatever's right I'ma feed you Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da Yo, I tell you the rest when I see you; peace! [Hook] 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

Imagine layers in the game where we all players No more stargazing or police car chasing Imagine life that bring us Lauryn Hill type of singers Even the righteous schemers still let Christ redeem us Life is greener on this side, the beauty that we see Be coming from inside, imagine if You a God and she a Goddess My people get freed, locked up from weed charges We no longer targets or bodies on the market Clean water coming out of Flint's faucets, it's awesome Not being petty but got petty cash Everything on the path we already have Imagine having a woman like Betty Shabazz Steady with class, ready to blast, til the chariots pass To take me to my new destination I think in miracles, it's my imagination I been dreaming of a paradise Somewhere a little Paris-like Where I wanna be Let's travel to the greener side A lovely place inside my mind Don't you wanna see Imagine days divine, no longer in a race with time Every day we wake up is a day to shine Imagine you could turn water to your favorite wine And when you taking down your girl, you can take your time Imagine loving you enough, you don't need a like Kids father's in they life just to lead them right No longer worried about sickness 'cause we eating right Amanda Gorman poems, mantras that we recite Imagine not being politically correct But spiritually direct, still giving the respect Imagine if you could change the world through song No longer do we have to pay back school loans Imagine in the hood doin' our own renovations Another way to keep the dollars circulating Mountain tops of patience just to heal a nation Since I was little, I had a big imagination
