lirik lagu funky dl - thief in the night

intro (x9)
the dennison chapter of my life is over

verse one

life after dennison, where do i begin? a fresh start
so i’m focusing on where i’m going, not where i’ve been
i got my own apartment now, my ex helped me decorate
i put the carpet down, cream sofas, cream curtains
spent a few thousand pounds over every expense
a little worried bout’ stability and paying the rent
because this music game is unstable, around that time my label
was getting ready to increase the timetable of releases
cos now i could record without the sound
of my step-mother on the phone talking f-cking loud
messing up my recordings, now i’m waking every morning
no more pops trying to call me and sending me to the store
focused on what’s important cos i’m trying reach the next level
let’s go and double this money, f-ck it lets get treble
it’s coming up to 2006 and j dilla’s still alive
i’m still taking these trips to j-pan
and doing sold out shows for all the fans
next i’m trying to get to midem in cannes and making plans
i’m a force to be reckoned with
cos every second this beat-making-rhyme-slaying kid
was infected with the p-ssion for this hip-hop sh-t and making moves
with a total disregard for anyone who disapproves
the days of dennison behind me
so now i ignite to walk this chapter of my life like a thief in the night

chorus (x2)

i’m no longer on the 5th floor
a different place, more sp-ce is what i wished for
i’m nocturnal, so you ain’t gone catch me in the light
and probably never see me coming like a thief in the night

verse two

i got this new found freedom, cos i’m out on my own
i’m writing more lyrics than ever, spit em’ out on my phone
and making beats, ain’t got no time to stay in the streets
with many albums to complete, i’m trying to make em’ in peace
but then the next thing i heard was that this kid was f-cking murdered
in the lobby of my building, cos these dudes will take it further than words
and he was only fourteen, that’s when i noticed
that the place that i was living had some super high quotas of deprivation
unemployment, mental health and drug abuse
beggars on the corners, everyday they be some bug-a-boos
so i had to keep myself to myself
cos stepping out my door could be enough to overwhelm
still i gotta stay positive and keep a hold
cos anything that is external is something i can’t control
i got a couple years until i’m reaching thirty years old
and i can change my situation if i stick to my goals
but low and behold, the music business took a turn for the worst
it’s like somebody took a knife and cut a whole in my purse
and now this vinyl ain’t selling like it used to sell
people downloading more and more for free, i’m losing sales
and now it’s 2008 and the world is in recession
so it’s harder to create these releases
but yo’ i guess i gotta hold tight
and just plan my next move like a thief in the night, yo’

chorus
