Lord Have Mercy

[Verse 1]

The snake bit the child on the hand

The father picked up the snake and cut its head off

The boy stood up touched the man

Mother saw him touch, her husband started buggin

Grabbed a kitchen knife

Plunged it in her chest just to briefly see the covant

Boy steps over his dying father to creepily

Stare into the eyes of the child watching on the TV

Kid hits the floor until her epileptic seizure leaves her

Paramedics follow standard procedure

Dispach radios in a jumper on the roof

They pack up drive to the scene and almost hit a youth

Running from three armed teens pullin death from their waist

He dips into an alley, paramedics climb the stair case

Bullets find a place in his back, he pounds the church door

Tires squeel, he falls in a priest's arms, they hit the floor

Jumper looks down at the priest, her toes grip the ledge

She picks up her arms and takes a step after he says

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

The preacher leaves the precinct, signed papers, then prayed soft

As he enters the church from the side front entrance taped off

He drops to his knees, reached to the ceiling for forgiveness

In his mind, every child's face he had inflicted his sickness

Turns to a woman crying with a gun to his lid

She pulls the trigger twice then screams, see if he forgives

Runs to her car, ditches the gun in the dumpster

A homeless man picks up the pistol diggin for supper

Cops tell him to drop the weapon, he turns regardless

They shoot up the trash and leave him dead in the garbage

The coroner zips the black bag up over his head

Loads him in the truck turns to the cops and says

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Soft sounds of gospel play in the distance

From a radio the coroner surrounded by student physicians

He goes to work, removing lead from the cadaver

The group takes note, then return upstairs shortly after

They joke of how the dead reek with no respect for the deceased

And curse to hell the homeless man who just killed a priest

Double doors slap open and force another episode

Little gamer shot in the chest, enters his health codes

They don't work, he twitches then spits his last breath to

One of the student doctors cryin clutches his nephew

He turns to the TV but can't believe his head

When the boy on the screen holdin a dead snake says

[Hook]
