The Thief

Aceyalone

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

They take 'em away

We take 'em away

They take 'em away

We take 'em away

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 your train stops here

Right where the rain drops appear

Next stop inbetween the ears

Objection to make you cirular

Work you just enough so you can work yourself

Verse 3:

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
