Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Some niggas recognize the light but they can't handle the glare

from Common – The Light Lyrics 2 on Rap Genius

He’s careful with how he treats her cause he loves her. Others recognize love, but they ain’t man enough to handle it

She is the light here. Some guys recognize that she is outstanding, (i.e. see the light) but they can’t handle the work they have to put in to keep her around and give her what she deserves.
