Mercy Me

I try to laugh as long as I live love the family and the
Thanks to father god yeah I got to give a lot
Because they don't understand like mail mans I been around the block
Plenty of times stay in line like DUI test given by cops

See they try to tie me down but they see no laces
Try to straighten me out I been lost the braces
Tried to make me hate my ethnicity, niggas I ain't racist
Make me have feminine ways but I ain't trading places

Understand I know I got what it takes
My mamma crib is like the moon I'm trying to move out her space (Outer space)
Expensive taste but why waste dead presidents
They'll roll over in the grave if I don't move up Jefferson

My work ethic Mexican
I'm like a Catholic so these rappers don't want none like a nun abstinence
See they irrelevant my rap style celibate
Trying to make a ton of moves like the weight of elephants

Who said animals irrelevant
When it come to testosterone, niggas tend to act up over estrogen
Blessing him God got to be hot commodity her body be
They scoping her like mouthwash be

See I been doing my research librarian
The weight that she bring I ain't got time to be carrying
The present is a gift I blow kiss off to the miss
No flower but I always fall in love with them tulips

Got to keep your pants zipped with them freak chicks
Dirty mouth I ask her do she kiss her mom with them lips
Don't care about the words from her tongue
More concerned about the things she try to stuff down her lungs

See I'm searching for my avenue to leave my mark no residue
Don't worry about my testicles see I pursue the decimals
Niggas in fear make a giant pack heat like Plaxico
So bad over here them niggas border hop to Mexico

Tell me what I'm running for
Not class clown this ain't Carnival
See you got to stand up for yourself it's all about confidence
Surrounded by 10 dimes that's what I call common sense

Back then I ain't know what I worth
In my mind I went berserk because insecurities would lurk
But now I feel I'm that niggas live dope spitter
20 bottles of malt liquor there is none sicker then this

Black man in this white man America
The chances of me succeeding often seem hysterical
We need miracles skip singing negro spirituals
Money cars clothes naw dog that ain't lyrical

Preach hope through the throat of a young'n who is dope
Life's a female dog and murder she wrote
Put man in a cage that's why he act like a animal
He get out can't get a job and go back thats understandable

N naw they don't try to resolve no scandals
Just tote guns that a blow about 99 candles
99 problems and money can solve it all
But they by 99 bottles of beer and stare at the wall

Look I know that I'm born to sin
But with bad comes good so I'm born to win
In father God I got to thank you (x10)
Because everything we went through I swear you made us stronger men, uh

I know I'm far from perfect but I try (x3) (yeah yeah yeah)
Mercy Mercy Me, Mercy Mercy Me, Mercy Me (x2)
