Lord Have Mercy Lyrics


Dear Lord, I hope You look deep into my heart
And know that I mean good
And You can forgive me for all my sins
G's up it's a G thang
Y'all motherfuckers know me mayne
G's up it's a G thang near me
Lord have mercy on me, heard nigga say there's a heaven for a G
If there is please save a spot for me, I don't want to burn
I hit a nigga up before a nigga hit me, ridin' around with my strap on me
Just in case a nigga wanna fucking clap me, I don't wanna burn, no no
Dear Lord, it's a letter to You
A young nigga hurtin' and I don't know what to do
I try to live life right but these cowards be hatin'
It's like every where I go I run into the same
I'm on this earth with my blessings and my curse
Just thinking how we live threw riddin' the hearse
Even though You know me ever since I was birth
I'm innocent till You judge me and that comes first

And I ain't tryin' to burn Lord 'cause that's the worst
Forgive me for backsliding, I only rob for the thirst
I knew it was wrong that I was snatching her purse
But it was cold outside I couldn't afford a shirt
Yeah, I wanna go to church but I can't be faithful
I'm always doin' shows but You know that I'm great full
I churn wheat for the fruit 'cause it be tasteful
I don't know in the world how I could ever repay You
Lord have mercy on me, heard nigga say there's a heaven for a G
If there is please save a spot for me, I don't want to burn
I hit a nigga up before a nigga hit me, ridin' around with my strap on me
Just in case a nigga wanna fucking clap me, I don't wanna burn, no no
Aye Chris, can you sit your ass down my nigga?
Damn a man can't even write to God
Dear Lord, I thank You for lookin' out for my fam
Havin' my lil' brother who don't give a damn
You see my lil' sista done got pregnant
And my momma actin' crazy and ain't changin'
And I pray that You keep my pops preachin'
'Cause if he ain't around there's no body teachin'
And please keep my baby momma from being a bitch
Excuse my language Lord but it's always friction
I wanna thank You for blessing me with my little girl
But please give me the power to fight the whole world
'Cause I swear on You if they touch my kid
I'ma be sitting down writing You again
Lord have mercy on me, heard nigga say there's a heaven for a G
If there is please save a spot for me, I don't want to burn
I hit a nigga up before a nigga hit me, ridin' around with my strap on me
Just in case a nigga wanna fucking clap me, I don't wanna burn, no no

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

For the last couple of years, Joanne Shaw Taylor has been busy redefining the cliche, plays like a girl. How did you spend your summer vacation when you were 17? She spent hers touring Europe with the supergroup D.U.P. with fellow band members Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), Candy Dulpher (Prince), Mudbone Cooper (Parliment-Funkadelic) and Jimmy Cliff. If you can imagine the love child of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Dusty Springfield then you are beginning to get a feel for Joanne's mixture of fiery guitar playing, sultry vocals and 100% pure soul.
