(CashmoneyAP)
Get 'em, get 'em, oh
Oh (I'm tryna fuckin' get 'em)
Oh (I'm tryna fuckin' get 'em)
Oh, oh (get 'em)
Oh (gettin' big, goin' up)
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh

If I tell you once, won't tell you twice, yeah
I'm a thief in the night (thief in the night)

I did some wrong (oh, oh), but I'm always right (oh, oh)
Said I know how to shoot (oh, oh) and I know how to fight
If I tell you once, won't tell you twice
I'm real discreet, like a thief in the night (look)

If I call you bae, you bae for the day
Or a bae for the night, you not my wife
She want a killer to fuck all night
I wanna fuck on a thot, gimme head all night
AP, big rocks, in the hood with the 'Rillas
5K on the dinner, bring three hundred thou' to the dealer

I did some wrong (oh, oh), but I'm always right (oh, oh)
Said I know how to shoot (oh, oh) and I know how to fight
If I tell you once, won't tell you twice
I'm real discreet, like a thief in the night (Baby)

I'm rich but I'm ridin', I'm low on exotic
I'm 'bout to fly out and go get me some
Nothin' ain't seen, all this money on me
Hunnid racks in the bag, that's a honey bun
Baby OG, I been runnin' these streets
Got the game from Lashawn, I'm my mama's son
Learned 'bout the triple cross when I was young
And I know I ain't goin' so I keep a gun
I flew to Paris just to buy some Dior
She beggin' for attention, I don't see her
C.I.P Pop, I wish that you could see us
Million cash plus whenever I go re-up
I got some niggas in the street, won't beat me
I got the industry tryna be me
I just go Ray Charles, they can't see me
I'm in a Rolls Royce with a RiRi

I did some wrong (oh, oh), but I'm always right (oh, oh)
Said I know how to shoot (oh, oh) and I know how to fight
If I tell you once, won't tell you twice
I'm real discreet, like a thief in the night

Yeah, like a thief in the night (thief)
I pull up, give her D for the night (uh-huh)
Tryna fuck in the V, it's aight (let's fuck)
We can't fuck up my seats 'cause they white (that's my seats, watch my motherfuckin' seats)
I'm livin' like "Thriller", I only come out at the night time
She don't fuck with liquor, don't like bein' tipsy
She don't do the Henny, just white wine (what she do?)
Pop the cork on some new Pinot Grigio (yeah)
I pull up in the Porsche wit' a freaky ho (zoom)
Park the Porsche and pull up in a Lambo
I hop out, Major Payne, rockin' camo (yessir)
Think she cute, make her fuck, let her man go (she cute)
Like to shoot, light you up, bitch, I'm Rambo
Cuban link full of rocks, it's a choker (oh)
Rest in peace to the Pop, make me smoke ya

I did some wrong (oh, oh), but I'm always right (oh, oh)
Said I know how to shoot (oh, oh) and I know how to fight




If I tell you once, won't tell you twice
I'm real discreet, like a thief in the night

Overall Meaning

The chorus of The Pop's song "Waiting For The Night" is about the singer being a "thief in the night," referencing his sly and discrete ways of getting what he wants, whether that be women, money, or power. The first verse describes how he knows how to shoot and fight, making him a skilled and dangerous man who can take care of himself. Even though he has done wrong in the past, he is always in the right and won't repeat his mistakes, making him a force to be reckoned with.


The following verse delves deeper into his life of luxury and crime, detailing how he only calls women his "bae" for a limited time, never committing fully to one. He also has the money to back up his flashy lifestyle, spending thousands on dinners and cars. Despite his success, he is always armed and ready, as he has learned from his mother and the streets how to survive in his dangerous line of work.


Overall, the song is a braggadocious anthem about a man who lives life on his own terms, while also seeking some sort of redemption for his past mistakes. It is a dark and moody track that perfectly captures the singer's mysterious persona.
