[Hook]

World heartless

Gross darkness

Since the curse all our works have been worth less

Than their real worth is

But then we got blessed

And now our purpose

Is way deeper than the surface

So

I just wanna be a luminary x4

[Verse 1]

I just wanna be a luminary

Long before they publish my obituary

And my body gets carried

To a place nobody gets married

I mean a grave or a cemetery

I wanna be like Mandela

Bring hope to my kinfolk in dark cellars

I don’t need to own a school, be a chancellor

I just wanna see men, real men get up

I do this for the go-getters

I heard you could grow feathers if you know better

Hand me a fistful of stones while I emcee from the rooftop

I guess I’m huge like Sokleva

I’m good in the cold weather

I stay on fire, turn it down? I’m like "No, never!"

Get your shine on, get your shine on

Stop hiding in the dark, take flight, here’s a propeller!

[Verse 2]

I just wanna be a luminary

Shine the light inside to eyes looking at me (Why?)

’Cause outside they looking happy

But inside they cry ’cause things are looking badly

I wanna be a lampstand

Get people moving to the music like a live band

While I introduce em to the I AM

Turn this Red Sea to dry land, I am

Nothing if not a visionary

Sent to my people, I’m nothing if not a missionary

A Luminary, I won’t stop until I’m legendary

Incendiary, set the world on fire then be happy

Light up the dark like a bonfire

Fight with a spark, set the darkness on fire

We gone be the fresh breath to the uninspired

Never quench even when sun don tire

[Hook]

World heartless

Gross darkness

Since the curse all our works have been worth less

Than their real worth is

But then we got blessed

And now our purpose

Is way deeper than the surface

So

I just wanna be a luminary [x4]

[Verse 3]

Do you really wanna shine?

Start now, come on it’s that time

If you’ve had enough of night time

It’s prime time to let your light shine

Shine

Oya tanasibe

Eyin temi teti gbana e je tanasile

Safe to say awa lomo onile!

F'ile!
