Mercy

Thinkin' back to some Fridays

Where I was far out, but you were in close

Turnt up my brain Friday and I could see your

Disappointment with my eyes closed

But I choked down another shot

Meanwhile, a young man glocked

With some brown skin, and some rough hair

On the wrong end of a tough spot

Unqualified and irregular

Understand, they call me David in the street

Or maybe Peter, I'm uncertain, I just know

I let the pressure get the best of me

The best of me, He has yet to see

'Cause the fear I have of lookin' out of place

Distant like I'm on another planet

And I know for certain He could see to space

I run away, I change my number often

Turn my back, but thankfully, you never do

I fall and I fail, you always prevail

Honestly, that's why I'm lookin' up to you

I'm too messed up and too flawed

Too held down by these scars

Yeah, I'll run to and from the sun for you

But I might not make it that far, oh, no

Oh, no, no (Oh, no, no) (Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)

(Oh, no, no) (Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)

(Oh, no, no)

Ok, listen, as of late, been I been goin' through it, ooh

And my trust issues startin' to show, too

I'm cut deep, but I hide it well

Lord, but here right now, I let you in the wound

Inside the room I can't feel your hands

I'm out of touch, and I'm out of plans

Independence is my greatest trait

But talkin' spiritually, it is my biggest cancer, it's deep

Standing in the need, Father can you see me

Living in the middle, in the gray, and I bleed

All this hurt that I hold makes chasin' you half-heartedly

Honestly feel oh, so heavy like a Chevy

Totally surrender, yo, I'm ready

Let's cut to the chase, you're the bank, a machete

You're a light in the dark, in my dreams like I'm Freddie

Oh my god, I have some flaws

But you makin' use of me

An anomaly whose gotten comfortable

What you're runnin' for is what you're sayin' to me

I'm a soldier on the front lines

You ain't build me tough so I can run and hide

Yo, I can't, gotta go hard in the paint

Till I feel like walk on the inside

On the outside of your thin lines

I'm a brain cell in the big mind

I'ma keep kickin' till I can't fight

Or I'm outta life, or I run outta time

I'm only cryin' for the cause

And I always fight for my dogs

I stake down ten toes

I'm a real friend when it comes to my God, yeah

Tonight, I let it all go

I relinquish all control

Yeah, I give you my soul

Yeah, you can have it all

Don't deserve, but you give it daily (You give it daily)

Where would I be if you hadn't saved me?

(Where would I be without you?)

I fall, you're always there to break it, so I take it (Take it)

Never stop, keep on showin' me your (Oh, your)

Mercy, mercy, mercy (Mercy, mercy, oh, your mercy)

Oh, mercy, mercy, mercy (Mercy, mercy, oh, your mercy)

Oh, mercy, ah, oh (Mercy, mercy, oh, your mercy)

Oh, oh, your mercy (Mercy, oh, your mercy)

Yo, thank you for listenin'

And allowin' me the chance to pour my heart out

Yeah

Yeah

I just wanna thank God
