Mercy

What do you see?
What do you see?
Oh, I know you can't tell me
What I want to hear
But could you tell me what I need to know?
You know I can't tell you
What you want to hear
Oh, show me some mercy and I'll give you my ear
Maybe I won't have to walk this road alone
Give me some mercy
I'm looking for mercy
Mercy, mercy me, Lord

What do you see?
Mercy, mercy me
What do you see? Hey
What do you see?
Mercy, mercy me
What do you see? Hey

Mercy, mercy, mercy
No weapon formed against me shall hurt me
I tried to kill her with kindness, they want the controversy
To see me six feet from where the earth be
Fuck 'em, know I'm godly
How could I fall for what's earthly?
I know truth is pain
So I paint my picture with bloodstains
From the chains of plantation n*****
Slaves to the streets, where ain't shit sweet but swishers
And perpetrators of the same community as the victims
Now you would think police had immunity how they kill us
But I know killers pullin' triggers to escape they feelings
He shot a man in the back, I hope the saints forgive him
Do he deserve different?
Is he still worthy?
Do he deserve

Mercy, oh Lord, give mercy
Mercy
What do I see?
What do you see?
Mercy, mercy me
What do you see? Hey
What do you see?
Mercy, mercy me
What do you see? Hey
What do you see?
Mercy, mercy me
What do you see?
