Lyrics of 'Theif In Tha Night' by T-Bone

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
