[DPops 2015 February] 3. All of the Lights

Описание: PROGRAM NOTES

"Chris Tokita, having made his way from his humble begin-
nings in Eagle Rock, California, finds himself in the spotlight of a new world characterized by tough struggles and disbelief. Unable to tell his tales of hardship at a fabled school, Chris must paint thepicture of these grim times through his lyrics. With his rhythmic words, Chris hopes to persuade his visiting student, Johnny, that the Hogwarts of New Haven is far superior to the muggle school, Qpac. In order to dissuade Johnny from what would most undoubtedly be the mistake of his life, Chris adopts the ever-popular Kanye West song “All of the Lights” as the backdrop for this last chance to save Johnny before he crosses over to the Dark Side.

"Verse 1:
rock that yale blue
for the hell of it
they ask me where my school
i say connecticut
so i took DS
then i went crazy
sophomore year’s a mess
‘cause now i’m way too lazy
class on science hill
long way to walk
lecture ain’t so chill
long boring talks
a friend told me
hogwarts just can’t be
i had to take her to that yale university

"Verse 2:
i went to commons
can’t eat my dinner
stiles, morse, dport closed
now I’m feeling thinner
prefrosh visitation
took him to toad’s
saw that qpac bus
starting to unload
i made mistakes
‘cause now he wants to go
on that toad’s bus
but i said no
he needs some guidance
i said, “johnny, please”
can’t let you go to that qpac university"
