After dealing with and relying on many faulty people claiming to know how to break him into the music industry, C-MOB realized that this was also something he was going to have to get on his own. Juggling a full time job and raising his son by himself, C-MOB scraped together enough money to record and release his first album entitled "In the Midst of Madness". This album is a true testament of C-MOB's life; his trials, tribulations, and visions all put together on one very realistic, angry, and frustration filled album. C-MOB speaks of the struggles of everyday life, living in a place of no opportunity, and tryin to rise above and escape the unfortunate and hopeless feelings that have overwhelmed and plagued so many people in his city. Day by day he comes closer to achieving that goal as "In the Midst of Madness" gains great reviews from all over the Midwest and other parts of the country. C-MOB shows all those who feel trapped and full of despair that if you want to get out of the situation you're in, you have to go out , make things happen yourself, and grind to get what you want. C-MOB is currently working on his second album entitled "When the Heavens Rain". Featuring T-Rock, Ric Jilla, Grewsum, 3rd Degree, Profit, B-Lang, and more...

Bump In The Night
C-Mob Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thief in the night
Takin' everything in sight
Thief in the night
Saying what is yours is mine
Give it to you
Every other night
Take my heart, soul
My tears, all the time

Tied up like close scores
Other side of closed doors
Woah suicide girl
Guard your heart with thorns
Hardened love adorn
Now we nightwalkin'
Call the bartender
Brandy in my liver
Baby make shiver
Goin' where they can't go
Make you come quicker
Damn Cinderella dance
Oooh you so stellar
Topless in Bakers
Poppin' in Vegas
Top I'mma take ya
Thief in the night
One hell of a ride
A dreamer's delight
Takin' everything in stride
She gives her hand to me
But won't ever be mine
Penny for your thoughts
So I'm gon' need a dime
One thing is real
And that's what I like
I'm talkin' about
The thief in the night
She takin' my time
So I say goodbye
I'm tellin' the truth
But you want me to lie
It's so easy to me
And you don't know why
But it's just not the time
I got lot's on my mind
Switchin' my gaze
Changin' my sites
Break the horizon
Where the dark meets the light
Light ice, topped off with the lime
1942 Give me another side of you, baby
Give in to you baby, like every other night
Give it to you baby, like every other night
There's no end in sight
It goes into the night
She whispers to me
It's gon' be alright
She closes her tab
They turn on the lights
Can't go back now
Ain't gon' back down
Thief in the night
Takin' everything in sight
Thief in the night
Saying what is yours is mine
I give it to you
Every other night
Take my heart, soul
My tears, all the time
Thief in the night
One hell of a ride
A dreamer's delight
Takin' everything in stride
She gives her hand to me
Won't ever be mine

Penny for your thoughts
So I'm gon' need a dime
