Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's no mercy for me
No crying myself to sleep
No mercy for me
Nightmares have  become  my dreams
No mercy for me
Good morning reality
[Verse 2]
Will I wake?
We'll never know
I'm late for my date with destiny
Let me go
Let me go
You gotta let me go
Right or wrong, let me go
I'm on my path, let me go
[Verse 3]
My mama love me more than I do
She say your pop was just like you
Trapped in a vicious cycle, Jesus' youngest disciple
Tell the judge if he throw the book at me, make it the Bible
Start  calling myself the king for lack of a  better title
Loyal beyond belief to  my detriment, it's so vital
I change,  I blow opportunities like a choir recital
Now while I do not care who tell it,  meanwhile
Selling powder puts food in the bellies
Well, it's unfortunate
The orphanage couldn't keep up the mortgages
Kid goes to  school  stupid, they teachers ignoring it
Sorta just doomed, forced into being a goon
Sell the kush in the jar, Mexican in a balloon
Consumed with the same way  of life I  left
Everything I know now, learned by myself
All you see is the  wealth, the Maseratis, Ferrari's
So they don't sympathize, don't nobody feel  sorry
[Verse 4]
No mercy for me
No crying myself to sleep
No mercy for me
Nightmares have become my dreams
No mercy for me
Good morning reality
Will I wake?
We'll never know
I'm late for my date with destiny
Let me go
[Verse 5]
Everybody's standing and waiting,  chanting and hating
Gospels say they should forgive me
They'd rather hand me to  Satan
Blatant displays, the day of hypocrisy
Boy, you got to be kidding, could it be possibly
Second coming of Pac is me
Remember that
When he was here
And when he dies you realize, you need him here
God with me, partner, ain't no one for me to fear
Hindsight twenty-twenty, future not as clear
But I'ma rider till I die, put bullets 'tween my eye
I just ask I could  make peace with God and say goodbye
Got the world like Lady Di on the day  he died
His  wife  and sons and daughters know that
Everyday he tried to be a better person
All they want is better verses
They could market to the merchants
But  when it close curtains
Hey, you could be for certain ain't nobody perfect
But when you're rich nobody gives a ****
No mercy
[Verse 6]
No mercy for me
No crying myself to sleep
No mercy for me
Nightmares have become my dreams
No mercy for me
Good morning reality
Will I wake?
We'll never know
I'm late for my date with destiny
Let me go
You gotta let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
