im tryina climb a stairways to heaven like led zeppelin/
|
find dat polished treasure like eddie laverde/
|
i do my dirt so my kids see heaven on earth/
|
but the pain on my heart weighs heavy it hurt/
|
hope u see my good intentions for wuteva its worth/
|
no self convictions when i mention my intentions in verse/
|
like a preacher or a deacon when he speakin in church/
|
know its a lesson dat im teachin if u seekin my verse/
|
like the shocker the hour be a greivous thing/
|
like the droppin of them towers man its plain to see/
|
that them cowards cant sing a song datll lead us in/?
|
theyd rather march and hold hands like MLK/
|
the nigga in me like malcolm little said 'all means necessary'/
|
so by all means i'm armed and my weapons ready/
|
i got my lessons ready/
|
hopin i learned em before i'm laid to rest and buried/
|

|
|
please have mercy on me
|
please have mercy on me
|
|
pressure bust pipes/
|
pressure can also make a diamond/
|
pressure can bust a man wrestlin wit his conscience/
|
his self accusin spirit of his past/
|
(but our lord knows mercy is greater than his wrath)
|
so in that, i not only pray for me, i pray for he. my dead brother robert/
|
help him wit his problems/
|
and the bumps and grinds/
|
and the evil things and thoughts that run through his mind/
|
take a hand on my sister j blige/
|
as i listen to her life go down watchin her life spin round/
|
on them records/
|
every track she sing in prayer/
|
give her no drama let her rainy days be clear/
|
receivin signs from osama that the days is near/
|
when babies is baby mommas man them days is here/
|
it means that them days is now/
|
i pray that the lord have mercy when my day come round/
|
|
please have mercy on me
|
please have mercy on me
|
|
We need your mercy (lord I need)
|

|
Have mercy on my soul(for my soul)
|

|
