Thief in tha Night

[Intro]
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

[Verse 1]
Not good enough, is the thought thats dwellin' in my mind. I thought that I could see but I
Was really spiritually blind. Goin' ta' Church on Sunday, then Monday, smokin' on a spliff
An' still be thinkin' I could up lift, the name of Christ wit' my hands waived up in da' air
Livin' a double life and swearin' tha' Lord was in one accord. Wit' all the things that I chose
To do. But servin' two gods homie be like bein' a blood and you be sportin' blue. You say
It ain't true homie don't take it from me. Read it yo'self Matthew chapter 7 21-23. It
Happened to me a pastors kid never did a bid. Thinkin' I could live a lukewarm life, and
Carry a knife, in my left hand. And in my right carry a Bible. Shout revival, then shake it
Twice for my survival. But little did I know that it would all come to an end. Walkin home
From school on a Friday with a unsaved friend. I seen my dads car wrecked down the
Street, so I ran to see if he was alive, but no one was inside. I couldn't believe my eyes
What was goin' on? So I ran to the house to see if I could get tha' info from my Mom. The
Door was wide open so ran frantically down the hall, shoutin' and screamin', but no one
Seemed to hear my call. Was I dreamin', or could it really be? The rapture happened and
The Lord took everyone except for ME?! I dropped to my knees and prayed, but couldn't
Feel the spirit. The way I could before when he was knockin' at my hearts door. So here I
Am alone in a world thats straight up dark. And if I want to buy some clothes or eat they
Say that I got to take the mark. Now its my choice take it or starve I quickly take my pick
I choose to rob and steal steal cuz I'll never take the six six six!! I jump in a stolen car, get
On the freeway headin' east. Cuz they'll cut off my head if I don't take the mark of the beast

[Chorus]
To all my homeboys and homegirls I say you better get right
(cuz when Christ comes back its like a thief in tha' night)
To all my homeboys and homegirls I say you better get right
(cuz when Christ comes back its like a thief in tha' night)

[Verse 2]
Its 3 months later, in an abandoned building I live. Constantly duckin' an' dodgin' cuz I'm
Known as a fugitve. I'm frustrated mentally aggrivated but I gotta last cuz I know Jesus ain't
Comin back for a second pass. I blast just to stay alive I'm goin' insane. Cuz like Ice-T ta'
Me its all about surviving the game. If I would have only searched for it from the start when
I had a chance I wouldn't be here suffrin' for all the things that I did in the past. But I
Thought the life I lived in Gods eyes was enough. To go to church on Sunday and keep my
Bible from collecting dust. Whats going on, I'm surrounded I guess they found my hiding
Place. Cuz all I see is uzis Glocks and nines pointed at my face. They say renounce your
God or die. So I reply the Lord is my savior as the tears run down my eyes. My time has
Finally come I guess I'm ret'ta'go. To my fathers paradise a place where sinners will never
Know. They walk me up the platform its execution time. Now on the Heavenly stage is the
Only place I rhyme. They lay me down its only seconds 'til I'm gone and dead, "Please God
Have mercy" somebody catch my head...
