Mercy Songtext
von DOE

There are two types of people in this world
Those who can survive it, and those who cannot
This life is not easy, and God will not spare any mercy on you
If you want to survive, you must not fear pain

You will fight
You will kill
You will bleed
And you will suffer

Your suffering may become so unbearable
That you may wish you were never born
You can take your life if you so choose, but remember
This life is not a vacuum

There will be consequences to your every decision
You will held accountable for every step
Every action, every syllable you utter
Your life may end as soon as you start it


Or you might get lucky
You might be blessed with caring parents
A supportive community
True love

Genuine friendships
Great genetics
Economic prosperity
A clear identity

A clear purpose
But remember
No matter what happens
No matter what you believe

No matter your race, your wealth, your social status or anything else
You can′t escape death

It's a crazy life
It gives so much just to take it right
I try to keep my faith in sight
But some days all I feel is pain inside

God, mercy me
I just really hope that the air I breathe
Is worth something, dare I seek to make change in society
I fight for peace


Yeah I fight for peace, but I don′t know why
All I ever see on the news is lies
All I ever see is revenge and hate
And they stack it all up on your dinner plate

We build walls just to tear us apart
Steal from each other, kill one another
Use our brothers, ignore our mothers when they give us advice
But then we cry at the funeral why

Tell me why we always gotta fight
Tell me why I cannot sleep at night
Tell me why my demons never die
Tell me why we never empathize

Why we always brag about the clothes
Why we gotta use the word 'hoe'
Why we never think outside of the box
Why the whitest never listen to Pac
Why the blackest never listen to Bach
It′s so obvious that the clock is ticking for both
So to close the gap we should give it a shot

So forget-me-not
Forgive me now for the words I jot
My life reflects the world I see
A deeply flawed human so mercy me

My life reflects the world I see
A deeply flawed human so mercy me

We fall down, but we get up
We fall down, but we get up
We fall down, but we get up
Yeah, yeah

We fall down, but we get up
We fall down, but we get up
We fall down, but we get up
Yeah, yeah

We fall down, but we get up
We fall down, but we get up
We fall down, but we get up
Yeah, yeah

We fall down, but we get up
We fall down, but we get up
We fall down, but we get up
Yeah, yeah

The good die young
Can′t hold my peace, won't bite my tongue
The world I know has just begun to wake up
And it can′t be undone

Pray for us and all our sins
Pray for all the hurt we tend to make worse
Our curse is our own demise
Bow my head, close my eyes

The good die young
Can't hold my peace, won′t bite my tongue
The world I know has just begun to wake up
And it can't be undone

Pray for us and all our sins
Pray for all the hurt we tend to make worse
Our curse is our own demise
Bow my head, close my eyes like
