No self convictions when I mention my intentions in verse
My dead brother Robert
Know it's a lesson that I'm teachin' if you seekin' my verse
I got my lessons ready
I pray that the Lord have mercy when my day come 'round
When babies is baby mommas, man, them days is here
They'd rather march and hold hands like MLK
As I listen to her life go down, watchin' her life spin round
(On me, mercy, have mercy on me)
(I plead your mercy, Lord)
Please have mercy on me
Please have mercy on me
Please have mercy on me
I'm tryin' to climb my stairways to Heaven like Led Zeppelin
(Have mercy on me, have mercy on me)
(Have mercy on me)
(Have mercy on me, have mercy on me)
(Have mercy on me, have mercy on me)
Take a hand on my sister, J Blige
Pressure can bust a man wrestlin' with his conscience
And the evil things and thoughts that run through his mind
B I G L P U N easy E Aaliyah R.I.P
Like a preacher or a deacon when he speakin' in church
Please have mercy on me
On them records, every track she sing in prayer
Help him with his problems and the bumps and grinds
It means that them days is now
The nigga in me like Malcolm Little said, "All means necessary"
(For my soul, on my soul)
His self accusin' spirit of his past
(Lord, have mercy)
So in that, I not only pray for me, I pray for he
(No more trouble)
(Have mercy on me)
Pressure bust pipes, pressure can also make a diamond
Please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me
(Have mercy on me)
But the pain on my heart, it weighs heavy, it hurt
(But our Lord knows mercy is greater than his wrath)
Please have mercy on me
(Lord, I need, have mercy on me)
For my soul, for my soul
B I G P O P P A P A C left eye J M J
So by all means, I'm armed and my weapon's ready
Hope you see my good intentions for whatever it's worth
I do my dirt so my kids see Heaven on earth
Have mercy on me
Receivin' signs from Osama that the days is near
Like the droppin' of them Towers, man, it's plain to see
Hopin' I learned 'em before I'm laid to rest and buried
Please have mercy on me
We need your mercy, I need your mercy
Find that polished treasure like Eddie Laverde
Give her no more drama, let her rainy days be clear
That them cowards can't sing a song that'll lead us in
Please have mercy on me
Like the shocker, the hour be a grievous thing
