Thief

June 4th and the night is fading
How am I escaping?
My reasons don't need explaining
Eight months till the Pisces season changes
Why's this Gemini hating?
Know you thought my career right now would be failing
But my ship won't stop sailing
You talk about God when you have a God complex
I think you're the one that needs saving

I was under the spell and now my spirit's awakened
My life can't be controlled by no pagan
So I don't know why you came in
We went from 100 down to naught, and yes, it is all your fault
Your name weren't popping until I worked with you and added a whole lot of s-s-s-s

Thief
And you know what it means
La-la-la, la-la, la
Selling lies, selling dreams

Got no shame, no pride, why do you lie, why do you lie?
Why do you steal? Why do you spill blood and then go hide?
Why do you take the rule book from people that hurt you and use it as a guide?
I'm lucky that I got out, now it's a shame, though I really feel sorry for your wife
June 15th, and my brain is fucking fried
This person I've known my whole life coming like the devil in disguise

Making me feel like I was the guest
But I paid for that jet
When I think back to it, it's a joke
But we know there's truth in jest
Your company going down the hill, thank God I never signed no deal
I'm tryna forgive myself, I don't need to forgive you, so I can heal
Years of living on eggshells
No one can believe that you meant well
I lost part of myself in the process
Can't bring back those dead cells
Financial exploitation
Emotional exploitation
Calculated and conceited manipulation, you a

I sit and think, "What did I do?"
But that's what abusers do
Make you think you're crazy and second guess your every move
Psychological mental abuse will leave more than a bruise
Will leave more than scars
June 20th, I was torn apart
Therapist asking what's on my mind? Huh
Where do I start?
I been in survival mode
Banging my drum in tribal mode
Why you so obsessed with me?
I bet you wishing that I would fold
I never listened when I was told
And I was told you a
