Beanie Sigel - Lord Have Mercy lyrics

rate me

I'm trying to climb the stairways to heaven like Led Zepplin

Find that polished treasure like Ellie Levert

I do my dirt so my kids see heaven on Earth

But the pain on my heart it weighs heavy it hurts

Hope you see my good intentions for whatever its worth

Through self conviction when I mention my intentions in verse

Like a preacher or a deacon when he's speaking in church

Know there's a lesson that I'm teaching If you seeking my verse

Like the shock of the hour be a grievous thing

Like the dropping of them towers man its plain to see

That them cowards can't sing the song believers sing

They rather march and hold hands like ML King

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

Hoping I learn them before I'm laid to rest and buried

Have mercy on me

Please have mercy on me

Oh Lord, please have mercy on me

Pressure bust pipes, pressure can also make a diamond

Pressure can bust a man wrestling with his conscience

His self-accusing spirit of his past

(But I know Allah's mercy is greater than his wrath)

So in that I not only pray for me I pray for he

My dear brother Robert help him with his problems

And the bumps and grinds

And the evil things and thoughts that run through his mind

Take a hand of my sister J. Blige

As I listen to her life go down watching her life spin round

On them records every track she singin prayer

Give her "No More Drama" let her "Rainy Days" be clear

Receiving signs from Osama that the days is near

When babies is baby mommas, man them days is here

And beings that them days is now

I pray that Allah have mercy when my day come round

We need your mercy, I need your mercy

For my soul, for my soul

B-I-G, P-O, P-P-A

P-A-C, Left Eye, JMJ...

B-I-G, L, P-U-N

Eazy-E, Aaliyah, R.I.P.
