Dan Bull - Thief rap lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a dastardly master thief The chance of you actually catching me Is but minimal I've maximum mastery Mastered each of my sk**s to the max, you see That's the key I treat combat as last and least Because I vastly prefer sneaking past with ease But if I have to, I'll attack from the back, crack Snatch your key and stash that in my knapsack This isn't the way the planet has to be Handcrafted sk**s k**ed by factories Fat cats are treating talent nastily Somebody has to redress the balance and it's me [Hook] I'm a thief, a man upon a mission I'm a shadow in the corner of your vision Taking all your things with no need for permission I'm a man upon a mission, I'm a thief (2x) [Verse 2] Freedom lies where I hide in the shadows I desire to strike into the light Like the flight of an arrow I creep through the narrow streets And the breeze sends a shiver through my marrow, see I haven't much left in the war chest So I best make a quick trip, visit Baron Northcrest There's a right tyrant So I might have to end my silence And get a mite violent Cause if I don't Then Orion'll be vying for a fight And his style and aggressiveness In Rhetoric are quite diametrical to mine He'd rather break a window I tend to pull the blinds [Hook] [Verse 3] I lived in a realm that I doubt was jocund But this new town's nought but rotten Greed and disease and the sound of coughing Drowned out by the crowd in the House of Blossoms We could recrown it in the House of Sodom There's a sea of people out need help but sod them Leave it long enough it'll be no doubt forgotten Like the time Xiao Xiao said I felt her bottom I hear the tick tock of the tower clock and It means I better nip off out for shopping Prowl atop inns, the crippled burrick pub Down I drop into the city that I love The pinnacle of criminals; I slip in from above A night owl with the philosophic mission of a dove When there's no one left to police the streets And keep the peace You best leave it to me The thief Peace [Hook]
