Mercy

Lyrics

[Intro] Papertoy on the beat [Chorus: The Tongue & Jeswon] Lotta mercy, guess that I ain't worthy I been sendin' prayers but they ain't never heard me I could be your saviour, listen to my sermon Pass it round the plate for the service Sayin' lotta mercy, guessin' I ain't worthy I been sendin' prayers but they ain't never heard me I could be your saviour, but nothin' isn't certain You gotta look inside for your purpose, sayin' lotta mercy [Verse 1: The Tongue] Uh Demons on the street corners, I be gettin' blessed In this holy water 'fore I take a step outside Ride with me to the death, we can get so high That we floatin' with the angels, man them girls so fly They can drown you in their tears for this world on fire Had to find my inner spirit so I could inspire Dyin' for a lie, I could really see it how it is And you hear it in these lyrics that I'm feedin' to the kids Out late night, guilty of original sins Stuck Judas with the steel 'cause I'm in it to win Lord's creation, live on your radio stations We rise to the heavens, but it started in the basement, oh [Chorus: The Tongue & Jeswon] Lotta mercy, guessin' I ain't worthy I been sendin' prayers but they ain't never heard me I could be your saviour, listen to my sermon Pass it round the plate for the service Sayin' lotta mercy, guessin' I ain't worthy I been sendin' prayers but they ain't never heard me I could be your saviour, but nothin' is for certain You gotta look inside for your purpose [Post-Chorus: The Tongue & Jeswon] Sayin' lotta mercy, mercy Sayin' lotta mercy, mercy Sayin' lotta mercy, mercy Sayin' lotta mercy, mercy [Verse 2: Jeswon] Yo, let me tell you what it really is, supreme lyricist Breakin' my religion not listenin' to Leviticus I never read the bible but every line I write They idolise me like an idol, formin' more disciples John the Baptist of this rap shit, smash shit Feed the masses with baguettes and a bag of fish G-ghetto activist, the streets is my tabernacle Peace to Eve tryna eat off an Adam's apple And there are snakes in the trees, I can see them rattle My sixteen's pristine Sistine Chapel Like Michelangelo pointin' to the ceilin' I'm tryin' to give my heathens, somethin' to believe in Kidnap the Pope, hang him by his arms Spit harder, stigmata, hit a nail through his heart Say a prayer or a psalm for another troubled life Gettin' buck off the blood of Christ, ain't nothin' nice [Chorus: The Tongue & Jeswon] Lotta mercy, guessin' I ain't worthy I been sendin' prayers but they ain't never heard me I could be your saviour, listen to my sermon Pass it round the plate for the service Sayin' lotta mercy, guessin' I ain't worthy I been sendin' prayers but they ain't never heard me I could be your saviour, but nothin' is for certain You gotta look inside for your purpose [Post-Chorus: The Tongue & Jeswon, The Tongue, Jeswon] Sayin' lotta mercy On me, on me Sayin' lotta mercy On me, on me Sayin' lotta mercy On me, on me (Oh-woah) Sayin' lotta mercy On me, on me [Verse 3: The Tongue] Yeah Who is the G.O.D.? Is it you? Or me? Or the wind in the trees? Or old Steve who lives in the street that you walk past every day As he asks you for change? (Sayin' lotta mercy) He's broken free, or rich and a slave To holy sinners beggin' to be saved What a game, what a strange picture to paint Bow down and confess, no answer ever came, no mercy [Outro] Mercy, mercy Mercy, mercy Mercy, mercy Mercy, mercy Sayin' lotta mercy, sayin' lotta mercy Sayin' lotta mercy, sayin' lotta mercy Mercy, mercy Mercy, mercy Lotta mercy Guessin' they ain't heard me I've been sendin' prayers but They ain't ever heard me
