Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Just like a G, you know?
Trouble, Trouble, what's popping, 5?
B4, let's do it
Yee!

I wake up and go get me some new money
You know I'm living like a G
These lil niggas ain't gonna take nothin' from me
You know we do it like a G
I swear to God I fuck on anyone
Just like a gangsta, just like a G
This Duct Tape and YSL
You know I do it like a G
G's up hoes down
G's up hoes down
G's up hoes down
G's up hoes down
G's up hoes down
G's up hoes down
G's up hoes down
G's up hoes down

Like a thief in the night
I take anything but some pussy
She got that head like a dyke
She got that head that I like
Deep in your partner he ain't right
Put that lil' babe on ice
I make the paper like rice
Head on that bucket, your mothafuckin' life, Skoob
I promise you don't know me
I pull up bout my cake
Where I'm from is not safe
I got fish, I'm a lake
Scoop them grits on a plate
Yet she thought it was steak
I'm a thief in the night
Make her ride like a bike

I go down on a dyke, I go up on my price
I might drop Kimbo Slice, kidnap like Uncle Ice
I got grits at the beach and they white like a rice
Let Trouble take your life
After I give you five
Straight put that five to the side
It ain't no question how nigga gon' ride
When they come with them questions
My nigga get quiet, sh sh, nigga sit quiet, sh sh
I am not taking no disrespect
You Patrick Ewing, you pump fakin'
No that won't happen on me
I drop a key like the mufuckin' beat
I look good as your dad on a Friday
So many cars I gotta buy a driveway
Never gon' let 'em live a nigga crime day
Serving these X and P's instead of poppin'
Pockets fat up like they jumped 'em
YSL, that slimy anaconda
Bicking back, being bool like a uncle
I'm so geeked up I might fuck a condom

Like a thief in the night
I take anything but some pussy
She got that head like a dyke
She got that head that I like
Deep in your partner he ain't right
Put that lil' babe on ice
I make the paper like rice
Head on that bucket, your mothafuckin' life, Skoob
I promise you don't know me
I pull up bout my cake
Where I'm from is not safe
I got fish, I'm a lake
Scoop them grits on a plate
Yet she thought it was steak
I'm a thief in the night
Make her ride like a bike

I get 'em all on the rice
She didn't even know what it was but she taste it
I dig in, her shit sound like Jason
I be on Percocets more than occasion
They betting on me like in Vegas
Betting on me like I'm Vegas
Stick to the code man, there won't be no trace
Thugga Thugga, tell me what would you say?
What would you say?
No J Money, but my gun say, "Bow"
Pop a molly, look at her then fiend
I'm the target mofucka, no beam
No this shit is not good as it seems
I might give her the boot with no jeans
I kick shit like a chong and a ching
I'm a boss, I'm bout that unity
Sandwiches, you know you in between
And you gotta know we at the green
You gotta be young nigga, wilder than Billie Jean
Gotta have paper for lawyer fees
You ain't with it, you a L
Still getting it, yeah, bails
Break it down on the scale
If it add up, hell yeah, I do it
Lap back as he ran to it

Like a thief in the night
I take anything but some pussy
She got that head like a dyke
She got that head that I like
Deep in your partner he ain't right
Put that lil' babe on ice
I make the paper like rice
Head on that bucket, your mothafuckin' life, Skoob
I promise you don't know me
I pull up bout my cake
Where I'm from is not safe
I got fish, I'm a lake
Scoop them grits on a plate
Yet she thought it was steak




I'm a thief in the night
Make her ride like a bike

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Young Thug's song "Thief In The Night" describe a typical day in the life of a gangsta who lives by the code of the streets. Young Thug's opening verse talks about getting up early in the morning to make money and living like a G, that is, with style, confidence, and self-respect. He proclaims that nobody can take anything from him and that he's willing to fight anyone who challenges him. The chorus repetition of "G's up hoes down" emphasizes the dominance of the Gs and shows the disrespect towards women. The title of the song, "Thief In The Night," is referenced with lyrics that depict a sense of danger, where Young Thug compares himself to a thief in the night that takes anything (but some p***y) and doesn't wait around long enough for anyone to know him.


In the second verse, Young Thug describes his sexual encounters with various women, including a woman who provides head like a dyke (a derogatory term used for a lesbian), and another woman who is sexually involved with his partner in crime. He also mentions money and crime, saying that he makes paper like rice and he's not afraid of taking risks, such as serving drugs instead of popping them. The lyrics also talk about the consequences of disrespect, as he mentions Patrick Ewing who misses a shot, and the line "Stick to the code man, there won't be no trace" implies that snitching is not tolerated and can lead to severe consequences.


Overall, the song includes several references to gang culture, money, and sex, and portrays a lifestyle that reflects Young Thug's experiences and observations.
