Lyrics
In A Flash
Written & Performed by S. De Bolster.
Produced by SideCity Records & Mixed by S. De Bolster.
Intro (talking):
In a flash. How situations flip around in one single second.
Bthugg:
Nothing ever is what it seems ~ peaceful places turn into horrific scenes ~ filled with violent screams ~ People constantly balancing between extremes/ Strolling down the roadway on a beautiful day ~ walking around seeing the children play ~ their smiles reflected in the sunrays/ On my way to the store ~ ignoring the whores leaning against the wall hoping to score but I don’t even notice them anymore/ I’m blessed with a beautiful wife ~ the love of my life ~ her name carved in my heart without needing a knife/ Already thinking about starting a family ~ living happily but all of a sudden the situation changes rapidly/ It’s amazing how things can change ~ it’s strange how good and bad exchange places at close range/ A car comes round the corner ~ tires squealing ~ people jumping away yelling and screaming ~ it appears as if I’m dreaming/ The passenger peaking out the open window ~ gun in the right hand while puffing on some indo ~ every movement goes slow ~ I finally understand as a trace of recognition appears on his face/ I’m trapped in a violent mace ~ there’s no way out of this place ~ staring at the gunman as everything becomes a blurry haze/
Hook (Bthugg singing):
In a flash lightning strikes your dreams/ In a flash peaceful places turn into horrific scenes/ Nothing ever is what it seems/ dreams and situations collide and crash/ Life flips around ~ all in one flash/
Bthugg:
I scream out “Oh Shit” as I see the gun reflecting in the sun – My life flashing before my eyes like a rerun – realizing it might end before it even begun/ Only 20 years old – I have no accomplishments to behold – reality penetrating my protective fold telling me life can’t be controlled/ All my dreams are being shattered – my life battered – showing my insignificance like I never really mattered/ Bullets scattered – blowing like soft breezes – the scene freezes while the gunman aims and squeezes/ A lil’ girl’s life gets taken away by a bullet that flew astray – jumping the girl like a lion jumps his prey/ Sound fades out in the erupting commotion – movements blur out – the world in slow motion – staring at the gunman without emotion/ The smell of fear hanging around like an expensive lotion – sudden shocks hit my chest – my face expressed the pain as my body protests – coldness grabbing my heart as it’s being repossessed/ Hands reaching out – stumbling to my knees – my chest filled with stinging bees – body trembling like I have Alzheimer's disease/ My empty eyes looking up to the bright sky mumbling out “why?” – waiting for a reply as I sigh breathing out my last supply – darkness engulfs me as I slowly die/
Hook (Bthugg singing):
In a flash lightning strikes your dreams/ In a flash peaceful places turn into horrific scenes/ Nothing ever is what it seems/ dreams and situations collide and crash/ Life flips around ~ all in one flash/
