Lyrics

Uh-huh... alright... alright... alright...
Okay... uh-huh... a-yeah...
It was like the Earth twisted around her
She shifted the ground, I was like, "Ohhh!
Shit! She's off the hook"
I would address her decently, but, look
Her body is immaculate, I'm attacking it
From all positions of thinking inside my mind
Hopefully it won't be too inappropriate if I walk over there
And say, "Excuse me, can I have your number, please?
I'll get on my knees if I have to"
She laughed through
The whole episode, just then I knew I had it locked down
No cock-blocking, please, this one's mine
Dimepiece and shit, son, shorty was fine
Every line of mine was like a rhyme, I wouldn't lie, I swear
Sparkling the whole time, as I whispered in her ear
And I know you will see the light, baby
Once you understand
What you mean to me, darling
And I know you will see the light, baby
Once you understand
What you mean to me, darling
Now some say I'm a little bit of thug, slash b-boy gentleman
But – let me introduce myself, also begin
So that you can further understand what I say
I took this last swallow of the Grand Marnier
And slid her to the dancefloor, now she like, "Wow!
Oh, damn... money got style"
Funny how things change when you got a little liquor in you
You're quicker with the tongue, giving me rhythm now, huh
Block the music and the people out to admire the love
The nerve of us, impervious to the entire club
And like marijuana shotguns, let's blow this joint
It's pointless to stay here, so let me anoint
And I know you will see the light, baby
Once you understand
What you mean to me, darling
And I know you will see the light, baby
Once you understand
What you mean to me, darling
We kissing, now we wrestling, sexual confessions
I never lack to pack prophylact', I learned my lesson
First impression – to be discrete, use discretion
Back of the cab, undressin' (Uh-huh)
I'm here with you, sort of like our bond, spiritual
All night, all I could do is stare at you
Cracked the window and the Alizé on the Palisades
Right before she told me her name was Valerie
Her crib was just a mile away, nothing to my salary
She could serve me pain all night and I could tolerate
I'm her horizon, right – but in the night though
Night glow type shit, and I know...
And I know you will see the light, baby
Once you understand
What you mean to me, darling
And I know you will see the light, baby
Once you understand
What you mean to me, darling
And I know you can... see the light... baby
Once you... understand, what...
What you mean, what you're doing, what you do
No doubt, check it out, now
I know you can see the light... baby
Once you... understand, what...
