Light it up (2007)

Huy!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Lights of love
Leh we shine those lights together
(Light it up! Light it up....!)
Show me the lights of peace
Leh we shine through any weather
(Light it up! Light it up....!)
The lights of hope
Leh we shine those lights forever
(Light it up! Light it up!)
Tell dem, tell dem on de road
Dem on de road
Dem on de road we say
Leh we jump and break away
Now leh we light it up like de first Independence Day!

Chorus:
Let me see yuh light up the de air!
Let me see yuh light up the de air!
Let me see yuh light up the de air!

Let me see yuh light up the de air!

Show me a sign dat de road's on yuh mind
Cuz we love it when we following those

We spreadin' out everywhere everywhere
We warmin' up in St Clair
Down thru Independence Square (We go light it up!)
Make up yuh mind

And we love it when soakin' in de burnin' sunshine
For bacchanal Wednesday night
Is where we does feel de hype
De city does get so bright (We go light it up!)

Start up yuh helicopter!
Call up yuh charter a plane!

Strike up a pose cause we know we in we glee
And we love it when we posse make it on de TV
