One dark night, I need some ends I got a spot cased out, I'm breakin' ends

I got a cutter that'll cut through your window like butter

Searchin' cup, window up Now I'm on the inside, lookin' for some newp

38 special, I don't wanna have to shoot I ain't no young raw fresh recruit

Steel toe boots, black khaki suit A real quick search and nobody told

Just like I planned, now I'm all alone I hope you don't mind if I do the thong

It fix me suddenly before I'm gone I got the silver hands of China Deuce 5

And the 9 Rolex off the desk so I can tell the time

No one knows where the flow goes when the door's closed

You better take some no -dose Now I'm out the back with a sack full of goods

Throw it in the truck, take it back to the hood Let me be brief, I'm on the creep

I throw the sounds out your Jeep, it takes a thief

It takes a thief It takes a thief

It takes a thief Keep both eyes open when you're goin' to sleep

It takes a thief It takes a thief

It takes a thief Keep your hand on your gun when I'm on the creep

I need a lift real quick like my mind ain't wrapped tight

I scare like Mike Tide, 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 motherfuckin' pockets where they find your ass dead in the park

Put your hands behind your head and interlock your fingers

No, I ain't the tops, I just want your rings and your wallet and your watch

And your fat gold chain, don't try nothin' strange or I'm blowin' out your brains

I ride from the rich so I can get rich I ain't got shit 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' all my friends

Somebody out there's out to get me The smaller the nigga, the bigger the gap be

I don't give a fuck about your pain and your grief

You shouldn't have fell asleep, it takes a thief

It takes a thief It takes a thief

It takes a motherfuckin' thief It takes a thief

Keep both eyes open when you go to sleep

There's a buster on the west side, I heard he got a duck

And he's out of town, no business, so I'm scheming on this shit

I heard he got keys and G's and D's and guns and big trash bags full of weed

I stole a brand new, fresh -ass telephone there So now I guess I'm the telephone man

The bathroom window ain't got no alarm I got a skeleton brick that works like a charm

It didn't take long to find what I was looking for

I was damn 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 shit

I counted to five and the front door opened up I counted three more and the front door was shut

I counted five more just to give me some space Then I jumped out the closet and bucked him in the face

I loaded up the van and brought daylight Cause looking loose had a high beam zone at night

I take the back streets to avoid the heat And never let them see me sweat, it takes a thief

It takes a thief It takes a thief

It takes a thief Keep both eyes open when you go to sleep

It takes a thief It takes a thief

It takes a thief Keep your hand on your gun when I'm on the creep
