[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

[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!
