Lord Have Mercy

Born Sinner like Biggie, maybe Cole

If you picture pitch black, you can peer into my soul

Angels probably crying, ain't no penance for my roles

I don't wanna face a sentence but it's clear I'm getting cold

I try hard every time I think I'm on the way up

All the wicked stuff I'm plotting make me stay on

It's like I ain't in control of my soul

Doing good is hard labor, but evil's like a layup

Mama ain't raised me wrong

Partner, I ain't popping pistols till your brain is blown

Still I know my list of sin is getting way too long

If only God can judge me, what lawyer gon' take me on?

Take me on

I'm a man, I'm a man

I ain't perfect but he understands, understands

Hope he do 'cause I got bigger plans (Time is money)

A day's a hundred grand, hundred grand

Lord, Lord, Lord, have mercy

Oh my Lord, Lord, Lord, have mercy

Lord, Lord, Lord, have mercy

Oh my Lord, Lord, Lord, have mercy

The bomb been dropped, dust ain't cleared

Choppers ring out, drown in fear

It's kill or be killed, roll up or get smoked

Smile in your face but at each other's throats

How I know?

He made me a black man

With all black clothes, black coffee

Blacking out on all my flows

But why is black a problem here for all my bro's?

And why they tryna put a tag on all our toes?

Black fist on the pick, sticking out my fro

He made me black and put his image on my soul

They thought our fight was finished in 1964

New specifics, same hearts, same issues unfold

I'm a man, I'm a man

I ain't perfect but he understands, understands

Hope he do 'cause I got bigger plans (Time is money)

A day's a hundred grand, hundred grand

Lord, Lord, Lord, have mercy

Oh my Lord, Lord, Lord, have mercy

Lord, Lord, Lord, have mercy

Oh my Lord, Lord, Lord, have mercy

(Lord, have mercy) Hold up

(Lord, have mercy) Hold up

(Lord, have mercy) Hold up

Hold up

Can't wait till it'll change, no luck

Hope my waiting ain't in vain, hold up

But I gotta try and hold up

Can't survive if I can't get with the vibe, hold up

Every single moment we got demons weighing heavy

Heaven, I've been waiting on it (Hold up)

Only time we ain't divided's when we groaning

But He died to recruit His main opponents, anointed

Tell Him that I'm on the way, bro

Chains is on me and I'ma get there any day, bro, wait up for me

Don't know what to say, but I don't wanna be vague

Don't wanna get what I deserve, I want my dirt in the grave

Hope is hard to hold when you're facing doom

Hard to swallow when your stomach's like a vacant room

Hungry for the place of peace, please, take me soon

Till then, I'll be praising in the waiting room
