Shooting Star
Rejjie Snow Lyrics

Shooting star, baby, you know who you are
Addressing the person whom he considers a star

You a star, don't ever need to look far for you
The person is so radiant and bright that he doesn't need to search for them

Like the stars, I'll always know where you are
Just like stars shine bright in the sky, he can sense the person's aura or energy around him

Mistaked me for a comet, stupid
He is not a comet or some transient celestial body, but a fixed, stationary star

You never thank me much, the lights is on now, who you kidding?
The person never acknowledges his presence or contribution, but now that they are successful, they pretend to be grateful

We live to see you grow, the knees are jumping gold Olympic
Everyone around them, including him, is invested in their success and cheering for them to achieve Olympic-level feats

Galaxies with milk and children
Metaphor for abundant and prosperous regions of space, with young ones and growth

Fallacies, you're thinking different
The person's thinking is flawed or inconsistent

You got the greys, I'm in your face
The person is stuck in their own world, and he is encountering difficult or confusing things on a regular basis

I really hope that you're listening
A plea to the person, to listen to what he has to say and understand his point of view

You a star so distant, but at the end of the day
Despite the distance between them, the person's star quality is undeniable

I see the stars are glistening, feeling like a dusty speckle
Despite the person's shine, he feels small and insignificant in comparison

Astronomical, starry-eyed
Playing on the words astronomical and starry-eyed, the person is aspirational and out of this world

Imagination, those pearly whites
Creative and imaginative, with a dazzling smile

You held my hand when I lost that fight
The person was there for him during a difficult time and helped him through it

My best friend when I'm baw baw black sheep
The reference to 'baw baw black sheep' is a nod to a childhood rhyme, and the person is his best friend in good times and bad

You interstellar, my dusty knees
The person is otherworldly, while he feels grounded or earthly

I'm storytellin', my neighbor's yellin'
He may be telling a story, but his neighbor is being disruptive or trying to tell him to be quiet

The odd one out, that little speckle
Again feeling small or insignificant, like an outcast or anomaly

So eat my shorts, I caught you tellin'
He is frustrated and ready to be confrontational with the person, as if they've shared some secret or gossip that he's caught them in

On Christmas, your tight lips don't say shit
Even on a holiday or special occasion, the person remains aloof or secretive

I know you're near
Despite the silence and distance, he can feel the person's presence

We wish upon a shooting light
The idea of wishing upon a shooting star is a universal symbol of aspiration and hope

I need to you close the church
He wants to be closer or intimate with the person, as the church is often a symbol for closeness or communion

You got the magic touch, congratulations, raised in the sun
The person has something special, a magic touch or unique quality, that makes them stand out, and he congratulates them on it

Mouth is full of gold in your fronts
A reference to dental jewelry, the person has a confident and flashy presence

I'm moving weight where the big girls run
He's moving or operating in tough and competitive spaces where only the 'big girls' or the best of the best can succeed

More wishes, don't listen, you manifesting my gears
Despite his many wishes or pleas, the person is not listening or taking heed of his words, but instead influencing or changing how he thinks and operates

Almost stopped believing my fears
He may have been doubting himself or his fears, but he is relieved or encouraged to see the person's success

Twinkle, twinkle, missing my years
Playing on the classic children's rhyme, he feels like he's missing out or wasting his years, while the person continues to shine and succeed

Your black ass, musical chairs
A playful, affectionate term he uses to describe the person, while referencing a game of musical chairs where something is constantly changing

My star's the brightest spinning on earth
Despite the person's bright star, he believes his star or light is even brighter and more potent on this earth
