Light It Up
Nyla Lyrics

Stand up like a solider baby
Rise up and stand tall like a soldier with courage and determination.

Yeah, I know you built like that
I understand that you have the physical and mental strength to overcome challenges.

Gun it like a holster baby
Move quickly and swiftly, like pulling out a gun from a holster.

Show dem say you wicked like that
Demonstrate to others that you are powerful and skilled.

We live where the war is raging
We are in a place of conflict and struggle, where tensions run high.

Chasing our crazy dreams
Pursuing our ambitious goals, even if they seem impossible or unrealistic.

Hoping that the bridge won't cave in
Wishing that our path to success won't be hindered by obstacles or failure.

Tonight we let it all go free
Tonight we release our inhibitions and express ourselves without fear.

Gimme the ting and make me rock in a dance
Give me the music and let me dance freely and joyfully.

Mash it up, hot step in a dance
Move energetically and vigorously in a dance.

Gimme the ting and make me rock, rock, rock, rock
Give me the music and let me move and groove to the beat.

Show them you're flames to the fire
Demonstrate to others that you are strong and resilient like fire.

It's written like your name on a flyer
It's obvious and clear for everyone to see, like a name printed on a flyer.

They wanna tame your desire
They want to control and quell your passion and drive.

But you light it up now your aims getting higher
But you ignite your ambitions and goals, and they become even more elevated.

I dey wait for messiah
I am waiting for a savior or a miracle to happen.

But until that day I'm a rise up high
But until that day comes, I will keep rising up and striving towards my goals.

I put my light in the air
I hold up my inner light and shine it outwards for all to see.

I wanna see everywhere
I want my light to illuminate and spread to every corner and every person.

1 by 1 let me see you
Each person, one at a time, let me witness your light and power.

2 by 2 for the sequel
Two people, then two more after that, let your light expand and grow.

3 by 3 for my people
Three people, and then three more, all united and shining bright for our community.

(I know say I'm bound to be next like my neighbour, ye)
(I know that my success is coming soon, just like my neighbor's.)

(1, 2, 3, everybody go!)
(Let's all move forward and shine bright together!)

Set it ablaze like a candle wick
Ignite it and make it burn brightly, just like a candle's wick.

Hotter hotter hotter hotter
Intensity and heat continue to rise and grow stronger.

Yeah light it up
Yes, ignite your passion, your goals, and your dreams - let them all shine brightly.

Light it up
Let your light shine so bright that it illuminates every corner and every person.

1 by 1 let me see you
Witnessing each person, one at a time, shining bright within themselves.

2 by 2 for the sequel
Witnessing two people, then two more, shining bright and uniting together.

3 by 3 for my people
Witnessing three people, then three more, taking action and shining bright for their community.
