Lord Have Mercy Lyrics

[Intro: No Malice]
Lord have mercy, and pity on ya son
From what I once was to what I have become


[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Dark Past full of evil endeavors
Heart clean never black and ugly as ever
However, I seen my family die from them rocks
Them fiends on blocks including my own pops
Homie I seen two much to drink them two cups
Can't lean on the lean, already way too screwed up
Was way too gone, I was way too cold
Fifty yard Hail Mary I was way too thrown
I was Tarzan, raised by gorillas and the beasts
High on them trees When I gorilla the beats
Then that truth came hit me, took me outa' my grave
All my partners say I'm changed, how I'm going stay the same, huh?!

[Hook]
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
Lord have mercy L-L-Lord have mercy
L-L-Lord have mercy and pity on your son

What did Lecrae say about "Lord Have Mercy"?
Genius Answer

In my most human moments when I’m just being open and accepting about me being a human, and just my humanity, my frailty, and my fragile. I’m really trying to cry out to God saying, ‘I need help.’ So that happens whenever I’m in my most frail moments.
