Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me Lord forgive me for I have sinned Then add vice just to cope the issues I have within I think about a new beginning but got my fears of the end I know you making calls and got an answer from some of my friends I'm sorry I'm not home Not ready for that conversation or sitting by the phone Like you got a radio stationed Hope you hear me out Cause lately I been lacking patience Pencil it down to my past cause I'm wishing I could erase it Find inner peace I mean trace it Put my heart on the canvas Got the nerve How dare I act like you left me out there abandon I know you been on my heels like I'm trying to make it to Kansas While I'm walking around acting like I already know the answers Can't Sway me If I don't let nobody close they can't betray me No matter how they look or feel they can portray me My life guarded Drowning in my sorrows Hoping you can save me Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me You see how I'm speaking to you but I barely speak to my family They speak to you too but never could understand me Hope you make that translation them burdens I got to carry We all start out the same it's the results that vary Creates separation And it's sick Put me out in search of medications To get lit And it's all on the table I remember days when I wasn't able It felt like I needed a reservation just to exist Instead of chasing you I was chasing the high For every cloud in the air there was less space in the sky Can't say that I gave it up Sometimes I'm stuck in my ways It's best that I'm being honest Probably shortened days They said honor your mother But I put her through a lot And I'm just like my father And she put that on my pops And all they ever wanted was to see me at the top I remember when I was reaching Can't remember when I stopped Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me On me oh lord, On me oh lord Have mercy on me On me oh lord Have mercy on me
