[Intro]
Late call, red line, phones ringin'
Maps open, black ink still drippin'
Screens glow, cold eyes, plans tight
Whole board shiftin' in a single night
[Verse 1]
Big chair, one pen, world weight on the desk
Suit pressed, but the playbook savage at its best
"Fuel cheap, lanes open," somebody said it calm
He tap the desk twice, metal eagle on his palm
Whispers in the room 'bout a strongman slippin'
Oil rigs burn, whole block set trippin'
"Send wolves for the wolf," he murmur, low tone
Stars on the wall feel carved into stone
Black plane sittin' quiet on a far edge strip
Patches on their shoulders, flag stitched on the grip
Names wiped off guns, masks tight, hearts wired
Orders in a folder signed, stamped, then fired
Delta boys blend with the agents on the ground
Passports clean, but they move without a sound
DEA cover like they huntin' for the white
But the real hunt waitin' in the tropic night
[Chorus]
Like a thief in the night, they glide
No light, no trace, just tide
Palace walls, high gates, still slide
One man sleep, whole world outside
Like a thief in the night, they creep
Past gold halls, guards half-asleep
History shift while the city count sheep
Like a thief in the night, they leap
[Verse 2]
Caracas sky heavy, thick heat on the roof
Clock blink 3:10, storm comin', no proof
Silk sheets tangled on a king-size bed
Dreams full of banners runnin' through his head
Marble floors cold, but the corridors warm
Cameras tilt slow, get looped in the storm
One guard nods off, TV glow in his face
Another checks his phone, scroll lost in space
Then shadows pour in from a service door crack
Motion like smoke, all black on black
Hand signs flash quick, rifles kiss the air
Lasers paint points, but vanish, leave bare
DEA in the kitchen actin' like a cook crew
Crates on a dolly, paperwork look true
Underneath foam, duct tape, dark steel
Whole mission hid inside a fake meal
Up the back stairs, boots soft, hearts drum
Every step closer to a future that don't run
One man at the knob, breathe slow, thumb sweat
Another count down in his head, quiet bet
Door swing soft, just a fan on low
Curtains barely move from the AC blow
There he lay, chest rise, chest fall
World on his shoulders, don’t hear that call
[Chorus]
Like a thief in the night, they glide
No light, no trace, just tide
Palace walls, high gates, still slide
One man sleep, whole world outside
Like a thief in the night, they creep
Past gold halls, guards half-asleep
History shift while the city count sheep
Like a thief in the night, they leap
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Duct tape whisper, plastic tie snap
Pillow pushed close to muffle that gasp
Blindfold black out the chandeliers’ shine
Whole lifetime erased in a single zip-tie line
[whispered vocals]
"Target in the bag," radio barely breathin'
Van roll out while the capital still dreamin'
Jet wheels up, sky swallow that flight
Chessboard reset 'fore the first daylight
[Chorus]
