Lecrae - Illuminate Lyrics






[Dria & Lecrae:]
Open your eyes
You'll see the light that burns inside
Is bright as the sky
It could light up the night
'Cuz you were born to illuminate
Light em up [x11]

[Lecrae:]
You can find me on the west side, do or die, suicide
Who them guys, you and I are witnessin' the power of the unified
You decide, you a liar if you denyin' who's survivors
Who's the riders, the crew behind us
Y'all still on that truth or dare, we on true to die
You can crucify us
We gon' fight until our time is over
We can't stop, can't take no photos
Out here rollin', road to glory, homie
Man, they can't stop us, they can't beat us
We undefeated every time we meet up
Put your lighters high so everyone can see ya
When it's heatin' up you know it's winning season

[Dria & Lecrae:]
Open your eyes
You'll see the light that burns inside
Is bright as the sky
It could light up the night
'Cuz you were born to illuminate
Light em up [x11]

[Lecrae:]
I used to wonder what I live for
Till I found out what I was here for
I found a reason I'm alive for
I'm only here to help the people turn they lights on
Ain't no sense in lookin' back, ain't no sense in lookin' back
Born an original, can't nobody copy that
Ain't nobody stoppin' that
I see your light, your Edison is evident
And you been shinin' ever since
Don't ever flinch, cuz your element is excellence
And everything else is irrelevant
What's your contribution to the world when you stagnant
You feel that mission in your stomach, you sittin' absent
Why you lookin' in the branches for what's found in roots
If you ain't workin' in them trenches, why you buy them boots?
Spotlight, limelight, it ain't light work, it's hard work
The way the lights work is you grind hard in them dark times and let the Light work
High life ain't the highlight since the hustle that's behind it
Get your mind right when you struggle through the dark you shinin' brightest

[Dria & Lecrae:]
Open your eyes
You'll see the light that burns inside
Is bright as the sky
It could light up the night
'Cuz you were born to illuminate
Light em up [x11]

    You guys don't get the meaning of the lyrics.. they saying some evil stuff that sounds innocent.. I guarantee crae didnt write this and dont even know what he was saying.. you were born to illuminate (illuminati, illuminated ones) the light that burns inside(lucifer the angel of light) finally found what he lives for (devil).. crae if I'm wrong please tell me because it sounds exactly like that? That ending sounded kind of like a catchy way of saying, the illuminated ones.. even how you talked about jesus bro, hope you aint playing people g.. hope you still with god man

  23. D.... M....

    Christmas time ...meaning illuminarrias gonna shine ...or illuminate let that light infiltrate n in infatuate cuz Christ is the only one u can not duplicate only imitate ...I just got outta jail call me outmate ... I can't wait for that first date with myy wife ya she's my mate...Lol....This music always gets my mind right n feeling good..thank the Lord..God is good..n if its GoOD u know GOD is there ..GOD BLESS everyone..even those in darkness..Stay Lit my friends ☺👌

    Is it possible for you guys to upload this song to Spotify?? Such a great song!

  31. A.... A....

    This reminds me of toby mac illuminate coming through. It is obvious that this wordplay does not in any way point to Jesus Christ. Lecrea is a SLICK one. On pyramids, "I better check the teachers that are teaching my daughter geometry." LOL Making fun of what really does exist. That is...pyramids used as symbolism for the illuminate. Him and Toby have their eye on it! Illuminate coming thru.

  32. 5.... B....

  40. I.... L....

    this song is an ode to Lucifer, the lightbearer.

  41. N.... M....

    Tbh i still think they are Christan rappers because its really not talking like main stream there saying nothing bad and they still give credit to god so i really don't see anything wrong with it plus they are good influences

  42. J.... A....

    CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

  43. M.... C....

    Bro, Illuminati comfirmed!

  47. J.... J....

    this is not a luminati song some of y'all need to look at the definition of luminate it means to shine bright. And lecrea is saying whatever you striving for in your heart god is the light within you Making it possible.

  77. T.... T....

    nice song

  78. T.... M....

    One of my top Lecrae songs

  79. R.... T....

    Everyone saying this is garbage and Lecrae ain't feeding nobody nothing.People have lives outside of religion.How would it feel if every time you went to talk to a friend all they did was talk about church.If you want the Bible read the Bible.If you want to hear Lecrae then stay.

  80. A.... E....

    You're born to illuminate!!! This is fire!!!!

    A.... E....

    If you want to remain deceived like 90% of Christians in this country go ahead it will only lead to hell

    A.... E....

    +Brent Sorensen Just shut up, I'm sick of all you triangle shaped turds.Why don't you open your illoominarty cyclops eye to see Lecrae is spreading faith and being a role model to believers and non believes alike.Im sick of it.If your gonna rant about someone do it about Jay Z or Beyoncé or something.Everytime you see a triangle, an eye, or the word illuminate you feel the need to spout your crap.So teachers are in the illuminati, huh?Link is in the Illumimati just cause he has the triforce, huh?We are in it because we have eyeballs, huh?

    A.... E....

    DO YOU HAVE AN "I" IN YOUR USERNAME!!!!!!!!!

    IT'S ABSOLUTE PROOF! YOU ARE ILLUMINATI, NO DOUBT, AT ALL.

    DON'T SAY ANYTHING IN YOUR DEFENSE, IT WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING, I KNOW THE TRUTH!



    The logic of these accusers today... it saddens me. Everyone is so paranoid and whenever someone does something great, it is immediately connected to the Illuminati. I understand your frustration man, and I'm standing by you.

    The Illuminati does exist, no doubt, but that is not our problem. Our warfare is not against man, and even if it is Satanic, what does going around accusing people do to help? We can just pray and share the Gospel, that's our calling, and until Jesus returns, it will always be the church's calling.

    A.... E....

    +Josh Simpson Ikr.I believe there are satanic forces at work in the world, and the possibility of an Illuminati.But I hate it when people corrupt good music with Illuminati bullcrap.I believe there are forces at work in our lives, but I'm not an over paranoid cyclops Egyptian.

    A.... E....

    Absolutely, I agree with you very much. This song is fire.

  81. E.... ....

    I like the beat

  82. O.... D....

    Dope, Cuz Iz Blessed - Speak That Truth Boi

    A.... G....

    Yes, He is Christian.

  94. E.... C....

    Do more sermon songs

    E.... C....

    +Slim Shady The Pancake forget what they want to hear the bible teaches to just preach the gospel to dem and if day don't like it brush your shoes and move on. I don't need them and if they don't want to listen to me get out I'm not making anything but sermons because Christian rap is supposed to be church 24 7 were meant to be teachers sure we can crack a few jokes but there's a time to be serious and that time is with most of my music if they don't wanna listen see if I care. My gift is teaching and making music for the church is my spiritual job that's all the audience I need

    E.... C....

    +Slim Shady The Pancake making music for the church not the secular people the few songs that were made for both secular and Christians were addressing God and were like prayers

    E.... C....

    +Slim Shady The Pancake bibles says people will hate me for following Jesus, so so what if they don't like me

    E.... C....

    +Slim Shady The Pancake all I'm doing is triggering people you idiot? Dido
