"Life In A Flash"

"Life In A Flash"

Written by Chi Money

since the day this star was born, white lights were flashin

til even the eyes of the wise have their hindsight distracted

as you can only see so much when the lens is on zoom

all the friends in the room.. have their presence in loom

this entertainer who always craved the attention

would soon change his direction when he faced his reflection

made for perfection.. on magazine covers

as tradegy hovers sanity, n numbers of families suffer

yet still the media frenzies.. over the gleam of a bentley

scratch n claw for a glance to find out the seats are all empty

lost his ways in the lights that took his every moment

n scared away his shadow as it over looked his every omen

they love a rise n fall, everyday from dusk to dawn

used to love his songs.. now just talk bout how he busts the law

so you'd have to end up in some institute or hellish prison

just to get on Dr.Phil and get another interview on television

you dont know how obnoxious it gets.. watchin these pricks

profit from chicks.. topless in the tropics n shit

standing around kiss asses as fake props in the pics

wouldn't mind the flashes, if it was all in moderation

causin' obligations, that caught the smallest observations

but good or bad publicity, his name would grow to rise

they knew how to twist stories, but that was no surprise

now walks the back alleys, to stay clear of of the madness

finding there's even more trouble that appeared in the blackness

then those same lights flashed, as he wasnt alert

the mugger ran off n threw some blood on his shirt

cops said freeze! you have the right to remain silent

as he screamed, "im not the type to display violence"

soon as the victim knew who it was, she pointed the finger

sayin the boy that just beat her, had the voice of a singer

which he made mistakes but had morals and strong electives

even the photos were seeing things from the wrong perspective

then hopped in the squad car, feelin like OJ Simpson in his truck

the news chopper couldnt miss it, had the vision from above

stayin in the fast lane, headed off a bridge wit a budge

cuz it was known footage of this could make millions of bucks

so he was chased by the world til he was colder then death

n media was the monster that pushed him over the edge

not knowin even the greatest pictures can't grasp our pride

so after thinkin back to Princess Diana in her last car ride

family photos flashed by his eyes, where the smiles were real

as the rest were just compiled through computer files in steel..
