No Mercy

[Chorus: The Dream]

There's no mercy on me

No crying myself to sleep

No mercy on 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

Let me go

You've got to let me go

Right or wrong

Let me go

I'm on my path

Let me go

[Verse 1: T.I.]

My mama loved me more than I do

She said, "ya pops was just like you"

Trapped in a vicious cycle

Jesus' youngest disciple

Tell the judge if he throw a book at me

Make it The Bible

Started calling myself "The King" for lack of a better title

Loyal beyond belief to my detriment

It's so vital I change or blow opportunities

Like a choir recital

Now while I do not care who telling

Meanwhile, selling powder puts food in the bellies

Well it's unfortunate

The orphanage couldn't keep up the mortgages

Kid go to school stupid, they teachers ignoring it

Sorta just doomed, forced into being a goon, selling kush in a jar

Mixing up the tar in a balloon

Consumed with the same way of life I left

Everything I know now, I learned by myself

All you see are the whips

The Maserati's, Ferrari's, so they don't sympathize

Don't nobody feel sorry

No mercy

[Chorus: The Dream]

There's no mercy on me

No crying myself to sleep

No mercy on 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 2: T.I.]

Everybody's standing and waitin

Chanting, they' 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 the second coming of Pac is me?

Remember that, when he was here?

And when he died you realized you need him here

God with me partner, ain't no one for me to fear

Hindsight: 20/20

Future not as clear

But I'm a rider 'till I die

Put bullets 'tween my eye

I just ask that I can make my peace with God and say goodbye

Fuck up the world like Lady Di

On the day he died, his wife and sons and daughters know that every day he tried

To be a better person, nah, they wanted better verses

They could market to the merchants

But when they' closed curtains

You could be for certain ain't nobody perfect

But when you're rich, nobody gives a shit

No mercy

[Chorus: The Dream]

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

Will I wake? We'll never know

I'm late for my date with destiny

Let me go

You've gotta let me go

Let me go

Let me go

Let me go!
