Thief's Theme: Vocals & Composition by NomiS (@NomisHipHop)
Verse 1:
They caught me red handed/
Still a slave to the man I once was, reprimanded/
A dunce, I'm dumb enough to fall to my old ways of acting/
Claiming 180, but 360 in action/
And i've been doing so well/
This low well sin pool got me thinking go tell it on the mountain/
I'm shouting 'cause I drank from the fountain of living water, i've fallen, oh well/
I guess it makes sense when you think of it/
We don't change the hand we've been dealt we just sink in it/
I tried to make a change on the brink of it/
I tried and I tried, its the same old tale/
The same old story/
Same interlude from the sinners all before me/
Claiming i'm anew and i'm changing for his glory/
But my will is weak and so frail/
Valjean imam sick'o, run/
once a thief, always a thief imam get those funds/
I'll always be forever 24601/
'Cause I don't know of a life with no jail/
Now the victim of my evil wants to show grace/
Homie I ain't buying it, I don't trust his old face/
Why would you want to give me a handout?/
I've got the face of a thief, still you take the bigger man route/
I've done nothing to deserve this, a criminal purpose/
Who's personally ended a person/
Whatever trickery you're sending mess working/
Now you want to help? (That is right)/
Verse 2:
I deserve to be punished/
But you treated me another way/
Feeling nerves in my stomach/
'Cause I deserve to be in a cage/
But you gave me another chance, don't understand it/
I try to wrap my mind around it but a brother cant/
And it doesn't make sense to me/
I hear the song of grace and its played with a symphony/
The days of my infamy has sentenced me to death once more/
Still though you mention me, as a sibling , a brother, as family…..this cant be/
