Mercy On My Soul (feat. Jeezy & Akelee)

Have mercy on my soul, shine on

Have, have mercy, have, have mercy

On my soul, shine on me

Lord, shine on, ay, on You

First off, I wanna apologize

Every time I made my mama cry

Leavin' these pussy-ass **** traumatized

All the bad names I called You when Lil Bleek and Lil Ivy died

Blessed me over and over again

The more He blessed me, the more I would sin

Guess I was movin' too fast in the wind

Got tied and pulled my ass in the pen

Now I'm lookin' at the past (Past), thinkin' 'bout the future (Yeah)

Glad I got another chance, see Your feeling's mutual

Protect me in the streets when the times got crucial

When **** slung iron, You made me blind to the shooters

And now I'm all alone, and I'm callin' on You daily (Daily)

Askin' for forgiveness and I'm askin' You to save me (Save me)

Protect my T-lady, don't stress my old lady

And You and I know how much I love my seven babies

And, God, I'm sorry

Have, have mercy, have, have mercy

On my soul, shine on me

Lord, shine on, ay, on you

Thinkin' 'bout them nights that my mama cried

Only son since my only brother died

Surgery on surgery, I can feel the pain

Have mercy on her, Lord, please don't let her hurt again

God, You blessed my auntie Brenda be the living proof

Had a tumor in her brain size of a grapefruit

It's for them ghetto saviors, that's livin' major

Now they missin' like the flight 370 to Malaysia

We was skinnin' and grinnin', thought we was winnin'

Heard it's hot in hell, so I'm packin' linen

And lately, my conscience be shakin' me

Wakin' me right up out my sleep

Keepin' it a hunnid, I ain't sleep in 'bout a week, hey, look

Gotta do it for my little cousin, Chastity

See, her boyfriend took her life

When I think about the daughter that she left behind

Pardon me, can't let you see a gangsta cry

Lord, have mercy

Have, have mercy, have, have mercy (Yeah)

(Have mercy) On my soul (Please) Shine on (Yeah) Me

Lord, shine on, ay, oh

I was lost in the whirlwind

And I'm sorry (Sorry)

Five different baby-mamas, coulda been on Maury

Stayin' up all night, smokin' purp' for hours

Can't even get my ass up for church a couple hours

Beefin' with the enemy, teachin' my son wrong things

In and out the hospital on that strong lean

Lookin' at the phone ring, knowin' it's my auntie

Knowin' that she tryna pray for me, but I don't accept it

Now I'm selfish, not to others, but myself

'Cause I'm feelin' like nobody know my struggle, just my wealth

But that was then, and this is now (This is now)

And since You gave me another chance

God, man, I promise I'ma make You proud

Lotta times I screamed to You, felt like You ain't hear me

You ain't heard me, 'cause I wasn't worthy, sins dirty-dirty

Thugs cry, no lie, had to hit my knees

Like please, please, have mercy on me

Have, have mercy, have, have mercy

On my soul, shine on me

Lord, shine on, ay, on You

Have, have mercy, have, have mercy

Oh, ooh, have mercy on my soul
