Mumbles, Aceyalone - The Thief in the Night lyrics
[Mumbles, Aceyalone - The Thief in the Night lyrics]
As I awaken born from the slums and taken
Through the ritual, childhood
Puberty, adulthood, maturity
And mastery of me
And my surroundings counting down the
Days till I'm exposed
"I hear it move swiftly" underneath the nose
Till one day you're face to face
You're gonna cross the line
You're lost for time life lose diminished
Heart beat finished, replenish
Now you can be one with the light
But when it comes it'll come like
A thief in the night
So hollow the ground and don't put up a fight
Cause when it comes it'll come like
A thief in the night
Yeah, obey the laws and do everything right
But when it comes it'll come like
A thief in the night
For real we take 'em away they take 'em away
We take 'em away they take 'em away
We take 'em away
I hear the sound of the rain
Trickling down my window pane
It stains the seal to let
Me know life is real
Sustain and build and and
Maintain a force field i use it in a time
Of need when it's hazzardest as it is said
Be defensive at all time for instance
As soon as I'm elevated out of existence
I am no more i can soar
Right on the back of an eagle
Or look eye to eye with a beetle
But now I am engaged
In none other than the physical
Form in which I'm caged
Such lawlessness involved in this charade
Tainted face painted black
"Is that the end momma? Can't I come back?"
(No, no) no your train stops here
Right where the rain drops appear
Next stop in between the ears
Objection to make you cirular
Work you just enough so you can work yourself
Overly anxious can't just wait
To see when death is gonna
Pull you to your fate
It's inevitable there's no escape
There's no mistake
Every time a life is given
It's another one you have to take
Then your electricity and and
Your energy's released
Born into another soul after
Your physical's deceased
May you forever rest in peace
Although your current is concurrent
There is no deturrent
You will cease to be no more
The war has been won
The warrior is rested and your
Duty here is done
Just when you think you're having fun
It'll snatch you up and run
For a second you appreciate the sun
For a half a second you appreciate the stars
For a half a second you
Reflect on who you are and what you where
And in a flash it's all a blur
Ladies and gentlemen today's subject is death
The way I look at it
It's three basic elements right?
Die, dying, dead right? Die, dying
Dead death becomes you says the crow to
The cheetah because you're an old cat see
You seem a little under the
Weather, while me, my wings are
As strong as ever, he says
"Well that may be so" the
Cheetah says to the crow
But you know where to find me
Because everybody gets their time card pulled
You'll just be a few more steps behind me
And behind you may I remind
You so is everything that's true and living
That's life driven is given a
Final shock boy frankly
Speaking, everything in here is on
The clock boy every atom, organism
Insect, animal, man is gonna die
Dying, dead "Death becomes you, " says the
Armadillo to the crow, "oh you, oh you
Are gonna die"
Now wonder how many people die that
They have to put new suit's on
How many people die with their boots on
And how many people die cause
They get there shoot on
And how many people just die, period
You recording alright cool
Yo' I just wanna say, you know
If you got something out of this
And you listening to this
And it was cool for you
You know, musically, lyrically you know
If you received some type
Of lesson or something
To aspire you to do whatever you do
You know what I'm saying
Trying to get wherever you trying to go
Or you know, or a reflection, whatever
You know it's all relevant
Its all, it's all relevant
You know everything counts
You know it ain't all good
But everything counts and this just 1 side
This is, this is 1 look
1 look at things you know
Its different views everything changes
You know the world revolves and evolve
And I revolve and evolve with it
And solve, problem solve ha, true
But again I wanna thank
Everybody for listening
You know, see y'all next album
Honour, respect, peace
Through the ritual, childhood
Puberty, adulthood, maturity
And mastery of me
And my surroundings counting down the
Days till I'm exposed
"I hear it move swiftly" underneath the nose
Till one day you're face to face
You're gonna cross the line
You're lost for time life lose diminished
Heart beat finished, replenish
Now you can be one with the light
But when it comes it'll come like

Cause when it comes it'll come like

Yeah, obey the laws and do everything right
But when it comes it'll come like
A thief in the night
For real we take 'em away they take 'em away
We take 'em away they take 'em away
We take 'em away
