Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were born in sin, we die in sin
Lord, have mercy
I did a lot in this life, so if I don't survive
Lord, have mercy
[Verse 2]
Oh, mercy, mercy, please
Mercy, mercy, mercy, please
Lord, have mercy
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, mercy, mercy, please
Mercy, mercy
Lord, have mercy
[Verse 3]
Now, standin' at the crossroads (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Starin' at the cosmos (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm a product of this gang bang (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
How we end up, only God knows (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 4]
Have I glorified the self-hate? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm just tryna get myself straight (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm so caught up in this wealth race (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Cause I know I'm takin' hell's taste
[Verse 5]
Look, check flame to your soul with us
When in Rome, do what's Rome with us
Pops wasn't in the home with us
So we follow suit and look up to these old ****
[Verse 6]
I can tell you how it go, ****
Light the fire with the flame, explode, ****
Nah, but you gotta be a cold ****
With the yellow brick road, brimstone, ****
[Verse 7]
We were born in sin, we die in sin
Lord have mercy
I did a lot in this life, so if I don't survive
Lord have mercy
[Verse 8]
Oh, mercy, mercy, please
Mercy, mercy, mercy, please
Lord, have mercy
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, mercy, mercy, please
Mercy, mercy
Lord, have mercy
