It Takes A Thief lyrics

[Verse 1]
One dark night I need some ends
I got a spot cased out I'm breakin' in
I gotta cutter that'll cut thru ya window like butter
Suction cup, window up
Now I'm on the inside lookin' for some loot
38 special I don't wanna have to shoot
I ain't no young, raw fresh recruit, uhh
Steel toed boots, black khaki suit
A real quick search and nobody's home
Just like I planned, now I'm home alone
I hope ya don't mind if I use tha phone
And fix me sometin' to eat before I'm gone
I got the silver and the china, deuce-five and the 9
Rolex off the desk so I can tell the time
No one knows where the flow goes when the 'dults crow
You better take some No Doz
Now I'm out tha back with a sack fulla goods
Throw it in the truck, take it back to the hood
Let me be brief, I'm on the creep
I stole the sounds out'cha jeep, it takes a thief

[Chorus]
Oh yeah! It takes a thief
Yeah yeah! It takes a thief
It takes a motherf*ckin' thief! It takes a thief
Keep both eyes open when you go to sleep
Oh yeah! It takes a thief
Yeah, yeah! It takes a thief
It takes a motherf*ckin' thief! It takes a thief
Keep ya hand on your gun when I'm on the creep
[Verse 2]
I need a lick real quick-like
My mind ain't wrapped tight
I scale like Mike Tys so call this fright night
You don't wanna see me comin down the street when I'm broke and it's dark
So run your motherf*ckin' pockets 'fore they find your ass dead in the park
Put your hands behind your head and interlock your fingers
No I ain't the cops, I just want your rings
And your wallet and your watch and your fat gold chain
Don't try nuttin' strange or I'm blowin' out'cha brains
I rob from the rich so I can get rich
I ain't got sh*t so I take what I can get
I need my mail, my snaps, my dollars, my ends
My grip ain't high enough so I'm robbin on my friends
Somebody out there's out to get me
The smaller the n*gga, the bigger the gat be
I don't give a f*ck about your pain and your grief
You shouldn't of fell asleep, it takes a thief

[Chorus x 1/2]
Oh yeah! It takes a thief
Yeah yeah! It takes a thief
It takes a motherf*ckin' thief! It takes a thief
Keep both eyes open when you go to sleep

[Verse 3]
There's a buster on the West Side, I heard he gotta grip
And he's outta town on business so I'm schemin' on his sh*t
I heard he got kis and Gs and deeds
And guns and big trash bags full o' weed
I stole a brand new fresh ass telephone van
So now I guess I'm the telephone man
The bathroom window ain't got no alarm
I gotta skeleton brick that works like a charm
It didn't take long to find what I was lookin' for
I was damned near finished when I heard a key in the door
I jumped in the closet and checked my clip
Pulled my ski mask down, I can't believe this sh*t
I counted to five and the front door opened up
I counted three more and the front door was shut
I counted five more to give me some space
Then I jumped out the closet and bucked him in the face
I loaded up the van in broad daylight
'Cause Looky Lou's have their high beams on at night
I take the backstreets to avoid the heat
And never let em see me sweat, it takes a thief
[Chorus]

[Outro]
Oh yeah!
Yeah yeah!
Hey yeah!
Just a reminder to let you know
There's motherf*ckers out there that want your sh*t
So you better watch out, better watch your back
Can't be goin to sleep, protect your sh*t
Know what I'm sayin?
