S-Ra - The Thieves lyrics

The Thieves - S-R-A (Taking the bank by storm, it's a new bug, a damn worm Here we go, it's a hacker, better activate the damn tracker) [Verse 1] I still remember the day that I found the man Living off of begging, he calls his home a garbage can I tried to help him but more I tried to it seems The more that he rots, the more he breaks at the seams He told me about his life story and how he ended up here How his life took a turn for the worse, and for me to steer clear I listened intently, listening to not be rude What he told me was pretty hella prude [Pre-Hook] I've come to the conclusion, and the fact That most teens think life ain't worth crap You haven't even lived your full live yet And you've done some stupid stuff, I'll bet Times of grief and hardships Times of joy and relationships That stuff doesn't need to be rushed And you sure as hell don't need lust Moral of the story is, don't live your life too fast Don't leave those life lessons in the past You've got so much time you can borrow And remember kid, there's always tomorrow [Verse 2] He told me this advice as I turned away But also told me about his life back in the day I found out he hadn't always been like this, I recall It turns out he was a master thief, always on the ball Now he's starting to wave, he's done with this story I left and smiled, he might as well live in his glory [Hook] Turn and catch it all, that's the motto they live by What's yours is what's mine, that's my mantra we get by Take it all, leave nothing but the dust Maybe if we're careful they'll even bite it too We don't live for the fame, instead we prefer the shadows Don't turn around, because it'll only make you madder Taking things from you, from your fathers, cause We are the thieves, we live for easy fodder [Verse 3] I asked my father if he had ever heard about a famous thief like that He told me he could not remember memory of it, only that He recalled there was a time when there was a master heist, it was grey and black But I got the meaning, it was onto the attack I asked everyone I knew who fit the age range, despite being turned down, sometimes in rage I soon figured out why it was kept a secret The banks be paying to keep it a meek crit Sure it was critical, but don't pay it no heed, they said We're going bankrupt, but keep your money with us, they said No one believed them, ideas were thrown by the ma**es It was so long ago everyone thought it was the fascists Nazis infiltrating your economy, we said? Nah, just a depression, they fed It was proving to be a long hunt, and after a while I felt obliged to return to the old c*nt I showed him what I found, some of it I went out of my way for He asked how I found that, this was not info given door-to-door I asked some of his buddies that I found, it was a good day Where are my buddies, he said? Oh, over there in the grave mound He sobbed, tears hitting the pavement as I watched "I ended up here because my heist was botched..." [Hook] Turn and catch it all, that's the motto they live by What's yours is what's mine, that's my mantra we get by Take it all, leave nothing but the dust Maybe if we're careful they'll even bite it too We don't live for the fame, instead we prefer the shadows Don't turn around, because it'll only make you madder Taking things from you, from your fathers, cause We are the thieves, we live for easy fodder [Verse 4] 30 years ago this man was a powerhouse of invisibility No one could see him, that's how great his ability Making millions off the banks, no one knew who it was Until one of his buddies ratted him out because He wanted a share of his fortune and he declined So the little snitch said he'll put you in a bind Hey, looks out it turned out to be true He served 20 years in the best state prison "It was hell, and constant supervision" While he told me his story, I felt sympathy for him And for the life of me I don't think he committed a sin He was born poor, lived rich, died poor I watched as he had a heart attack Don't call 911, he said I want to die, -ack Those were his last words, and I wrote a rap I dedicate this to him, this goes out to Zach The best thief in the world, living in a shack No one could have figured out that he would do that, it's the ultimate cover And what he told me reminisces me back to my lovers [Pre-Hook] I've come to the conclusion, and the fact That most teens think life ain't worth crap You haven't even lived your full live yet And you've done some stupid stuff, I'll bet Times of grief and hardships Times of joy and relationships That stuff doesn't need to be rushed And you sure as hell don't need lust Moral of the story is, don't live your life too fast Don't leave those life lessons in the past You've got so much time you can borrow And remember kid, there's always tomorrow (Taking the bank by storm, it's a new bug, a damn worm Here we go, it's a hacker, better activate the damn tracker) [Hook] Turn and catch it all, that's the motto they live by What's yours is what's mine, that's my mantra we get by Take it all, leave nothing but the dust Maybe if we're careful they'll even bite it too We don't live for the fame, instead we prefer the shadows Don't turn around, because it'll only make you madder Taking things from you, from your fathers, cause We are the thieves, we live for easy fodder [Verse 5] I get on with life without the old man I went to him every day 'fore he went bam He taught me how to live life, how to not follow in his path And that's all he told me before he had his heart attack I don't really care about the dares that people give me, it's unfair But they don't share my feelings, we're not carebears But we'll make it through cause I bare my mind from such lairs And over 75 years the man had a good life Lived in a garbage can for the last five I Miss him like a father, it was so much a bother He respected my wishes, and I respected his So for the last few months I've been living by his creed Even though what he taught me isn't a need I stand taller, a grand baller, ready to fall At the call of a waller, because I'm a new man And the muscles on my shoulders strech my collar (yeah) So I'm spry, not going to die, jumping off buildings cause I'm fly See Ubisoft taught me something good, so I don my hood, looking like an Assa**in Stealing because I'm a thief, and living the life of all three [Hook] Turn and catch it all, that's the motto they live by What's yours is what's mine, that's my mantra we get by Take it all, leave nothing but the dust Maybe if we're careful they'll even bite it too We don't live for the fame, instead we prefer the shadows Don't turn around, because it'll only make you madder Taking things from you, from your fathers, cause We are the thieves, we live for easy fodder
