ALL IN AN INSTANT

She was a modern girl, I was an east side boy

She was runnin' from the law, said you wanna go

Never seemed lonely, but I was her only friend

All against the trends, and all in an instant

She was out of sight, I broke my telescope

Never never seen the light, since so long ago

Livin' on the insides, could this be y'all pretend?

All against the trends, and all in an instant

All in an instant

Yeah, all in an instant

I was her only friend

All against the trends

And all in an instant

We went out to dance, to hear our favorite songs

But only to see the signs, tellin' us to move along

She didn't wanna get in line, knowin' she was the best

She said fuck the rest, off into the sunset

She would cue the symphony, I would play the violin

Runnin' like a steel horse, in and out of sin

Now who you put your bet on? Nigga get off the fence

It only happens now and then, all in an instant

Was all in an instant

All in an instant

She was my only friend

All against the trends

And all in an instant

Huh huh, who knew that we would be together?

Huh huh, who knew that we would last forever?

I seen her on the TV, my soul's treasure

Resurrectin' old feelings I never thought I'd care for

She soon became my Kevlar vest

Ricochetin' all naysayers against my chest

We blazed 'em, together we proposed an invasion

The invasion of the world, appeased our nation

Ay, laced 'em, Bonnie and Clyde, the eighth wonder

Magnet knowin' your whole life you would chase them

She spent so much time in the tenement

Look how she saved Shakur and Andre Benjamin

Now when Socrates came knockin', yeah she let him in

Every shared word confessions would wash away our sins

With the world watchin', our philosophy is free thought

She is hip-hop to me, freeze, pause

She was my only friend

All against the trends

And all in an instant
