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 makes me stay up

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 raise me wrong

Partner I ain't popping pistols 'til 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 (I’m a man)

Oh my Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy (I’m a man, I'm a man)

Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy (I’m a man)

Oh my Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy (I’m a man)

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 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 bros?

And why they trying to 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 (I’m a man)

Oh my Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy (I’m a man, I'm a man)

Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy (I’m a man)

Oh my Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy (I’m a man)

Lord have mercy (hol' up)

Lord have mercy (hol' up)

Lord have mercy (hol' up, hol' up)

Lord (hol' up, hol' up)

Can't wait 'til it’ll change, hold up

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 been waiting on it

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

But He died to recruit his main opponents, good morning

Tell them that I’m on the way bruh, chains is on me

And I’ma get there any day bruh, 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 facing doom

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

Hungry for the place of peace, please take me soon

'Til then I’ll be praising in the waiting room
