One dark night I need some ends
I got a spot cased out I'm breakin' in
I gotta cutter that'll cut through ya window like butter
Suction cup window up
Now I'm on the inside lookin' for some loot
38 special I don't want to have to shoot
I ain't no young raw fresh recruit uh
Steel tote 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 somethin' to eat before I'm gone
I got the servant 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 doughs
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
Oh yeah It takes a thief
Yeah yeah It takes a thief
It takes a motherf**kin' 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**kin' thief It takes a thief
Keep ya hand on your gun when I'm on the creep
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 want to see me comin' down the street
When I'm broke and it's dark
So run your motherf**kin' pockets 'fore
They find your a*s 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 nothin' strange or I'm blowin' out'cha brains
I rob from the rich so I can get rich
I ain't got s**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***a the bigger the gat be
I don't give a f**k about your pain and your grief
You shouldn't of fell asleep it takes a thief
Oh yeah It takes a thief
Yeah yeah It takes a thief
It takes a motherf**kin' 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 gotta grip
And he's outta town on business so I'm schemin' on his s**t
I heard he got ki's and Gs and deeds
And guns and big trash bags full o' w**d
I stole a brand new fresh shaft 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 d**ned 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 s**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
Oh yeah It takes a thief
Yeah yeah It takes a thief
It takes a motherf**kin' 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**kin' thief It takes a thief
Keep ya hand on your gun when I'm on the creep
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
Hey yeah
Just a reminder to let you know
There's motherf**kers out there that want your s**t
So you better watch out better watch your back
Can't be goin' to sleep protect your s**t
Know what I'm sayin'
