Theif In Tha Night

Not every one that saith unto me, lord, lord

Shall enter into the kingdom of heaven

But he that death 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

Not good enough, is the thought that's 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 with 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 that's 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 'cause I'll never take the six six six!!

I jump in a stolen car, get

On the freeway headin' east

'Cause they'll cut off my head if I don't take the mark of the beast

To all my homeboys and homegirls I say you better get right

('Cause when Christ comes back its like a thief in tha' night)

To all my homeboys and homegirls I say you better get right

('Cause when Christ comes back its like a thief in tha' night)

Its 3 months later, in an abandoned building I live

Constantly duckin' an' dodgin' 'cause I'm

Known as a fugitve, I'm frustrated mentally aggravated

But I gotta last 'cause I know Jesus ain't

Comin' back for a second pass

I blast just to stay alive I'm goin' insane, 'cause 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, what's going on

I'm surrounded I guess they found my hiding

Place, 'cause 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 till I'm gone and dead

Please God have mercy, somebody catch my head
