[Verse 1] I'm from the city where they filmed in the heat of the night Where they can barely pay their bills for the heat in the night But no worries cause them food stamps had 'em eatin' all right And trading food stamps for that bag of green Had 'em eatin' all night, night, night, night, night [Chorus] Thief in the night Thief in the night We was down, but we made it all right [Verse 2] Thief in the night Thief in the night Jesus coming back like a thief in the night [Verse 3] From cruisin the plaza to sharp stadium stands For the ones who made it out Or didnt have a chance We all have to answer for the sins of the past I guess it just depends on how you do the math Ms Adams was tough, but she told me Jesus will be tougher Now I thank him daily for the brutal death he suffered For the price that he paid Now I look back and I can see all strings A million connections orchestrated like a southern summer symphony [Chorus] Thief in the night Thief in the night We was down, but we made it all right
