Yung Teez-R - Preface to DLA Interlude lyrics

Night falls: she takes up her usual spot on the street corner Routine: she looks up into the sky, like every other night Trains her eyes on the stars and reflects Because when she compares the constellations To her and those like her - she sees no difference She sees their beauty reflected in those very stars… They all come alive in the night time, dazzling pa**ers-by All the while knowing that their time to shine is limited to the dark hours And that their magic is only ever abused and never truly appreciated By sunrise they are forgotten, left alone with their own shameful memories It is in the daylight that they seemingly cease to exist… But that night, something was different: Because that night an intruder flashed across the night sky Drawing all the attention to herself But before anyone could blink, before she could be subjected to receiving false adoration She was gone The young girl remembered hearing about them when she was younger: Shooting stars, the subject of intense awe and wonder With their instantaneous disappearance after a fleeting, show-stealing performance This intrigued her because they didn't stick around and wait to be noticed - They demanded to be. No vying for anyone's attention Displaying a solidly obvious sense of self-worth And so she closed her eyes... Tonight, she would be a shooting star… The story in the song you are about to hear, is based in 2012
