Mercy

[Chorus]
Lord have mercy
Pain in my heart from early
It's hard to be cleanhearted in a world that's dirty
I know I'm not perfect
Did what I could when I could in a hood, when I spoke they heard me
Had to let go of the things that hurt me
Things that weren't me
Lord have mercy

[Verse 1]
Who's in control of me?
Externally, it's nobody
Don't matter what social status you think you take if I think you're nobody
That's where I'm from, or oversee
Don't get gassed by your own belief
Prideful souls get no relief
Money, sex, violence, been there done that
I'm not insecure about myself
I don't boast on things that don't love back
Had to be merciful to be purposeful
My dead bredrins can't come back
See the jokin' ting? I don't run that
Thank god when I left home, that I come back

[Chorus]
Lord have mercy
Had pain in my heart from early
It's hard to move right when you don't feel worthy
It's hard to be cleanhearted in a world that's dirty
I know I'm not perfect
Did what I could when I could in a hood, when I spoke they heard me
Had to let go of the things that hurt me
Things that weren't me
Lord have mercy

[Verse 2]
Tired of feeling pain, hoping that nobody notice
Feeling the guilt and weight of times I've broken my focus
Lord have mercy, recreate in my oxytocin
I know it's a process, closin' the door so the chamber would open
I wanna look to the light
Look to the light and focus
Look to the light and focus, jah know I can't be hopeless
Jah know I can't be foldin
I need to find my way because there's no P's in coastin'

[Outro]
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy
I know I'm not perfect
Lord have mercy
