Rise - Mercy Mercy lyrics

[Intro] For the times. For the ages. For the struggle come on "Whoa" "Mercy mercy" [Verse One] First of all, when I'm writin' just displaying my knowledge Second, this ain't writing I'm just payin' 'em homage Third, I am hip hop The whole land tune in But true rhythm and blues is grown man music Rise with me, besides the sky's with me Say, "Hi" or "Bye" quickly A cycle but why it hits me an*lyze rode to the road music barbeque is in your head Flow to this, soul music part of you The same ? echos through your ears And they echo so loud that they avalanche here Moments will pa** Emotions, the road to music Emotions are rash I'd drink other flammable fluid I'm hammering like "Screw it" The carpenter's son Gabriels's lessons to music That a Rise gonna come I'm gettin' too religious And out of tune with n***as That could use a trigger (for what?) To pollute a river "Whoa, mercy mercy"
