Mercy (feat. Tamika Mallory)

Black man, as your queen, I want you to know that I see you I feel you I'm on your frequency And although you don't frequently feel valued, you are You've been beaten, tortured, and slaved and stripped of your manhood You've been to hell and back and yet, you're still standing Persecuted, executed and broke down in every way But somehow you continue to find a way A way to be stronger, to be a provider, to be a lover, hell Everyone wants to be you 'cause you're a king And heavy crowns are painful But God gives his hardest battles to his toughest warriors Black man, I'm not your enemy, I'm your energy When you turn to me and you enter me, remember, we are one Until freedom, I will fight by your side I know you hide your pain with your pride You don't want pity, but you damn sure deserve a little mercy Until, until you walked in my shoes You can never ever seen my blues Oh, never seen my blues And until, you've felt the pain of a broken man You can never stop upon the stand Why I feel this way? Why I'm starting to lose my faith? Have a little mercy Show a little mercy (oh, yeah) Give a little mercy Show some little mercy (oh) Until, until we make a change (until, until) Everything that's wrong remains the same Oh no, remains the same And until, until love has it way Then and only then, there'll be better days There'll be better days Have a little mercy (yeah, a little mercy) Show a little mercy (little) Give a little mercy Yes, a little mercy (oh) Days like these days, they say won't last for long (for long, last for long) It didn't matter, we'll always find the way to be strong Days like these, they say won't last always (always) Oh, have a little mercy (yeah) Please, have some mercy Have a little mercy (yeah, ooh-oh) Take my mercy (ooh)
