Lord Have Mercy (feat. Breana Marin)

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky Waiting for an answer Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins (Lord have mercy) Waiting for an answer Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins Dear Lord, I don't know if you're listening I hope you can listen in I climbed up high to reach you, feel like I can kiss the wind This might seem dissonant, but see, my life is in a spin And I'm thinking of giving in Plus, as you know, I've never been too good at fitting in Every day you witness sin, and I'm far from innocent But my life feels like a pot that you're constantly pissin' in And I'm 'bout ready to explode like some Nitroglycerin My A/C's broken, I'm getting heated but need to vent Recent events evoke unpleasant feelings, deep intent It seems that coping's a mechanism that redirects Should deem respect Instead arrive broken and leave in debt Wish I could remember what feeling hopeful even meant Memory's jaded, seeking happiness, a bleak attempt I need your guidance 'cause being silent's a secret kept I've tried to fight it, but lost faith, God, let's reconnect Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky Waiting for an answer Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins (Lord have mercy) Waiting for an answer Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins Dear Lord, I could really use your guidance 'Cause it's hard to be the hero when you've never had no sidekicks To navigate through darkness in search of a light switch And find our way back onto the path of the righteous Was I made in your vision If so, why am I like this Horse shit from scientists, force fed and digested Thoughts are all distorted and imported from crisis It's more or less important I fight this with an iron fist Can't do it alone At least not in this state of mind Thinking it's time to let my soul just dissipate This burden that I'm carrying Wish you could lift the weight Slim odds and dead ends Doesn't profit just to play And when I try to conversate Get lost and drift away In this constant disarray Feel haunted just to pray I want to shift the pain for some flaunted kiss of fate But I should probably hit the hay and reach out on a different day Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky Waiting for an answer Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins (Lord have mercy) Waiting for an answer Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins Dear Lord, I'm just hoping you will see That I'm done with the foolishness and reacting foolishly I'm not who I used to be I was livid, acting so brutally Now it's crucial that I repent before they write my eulogy You tried to get through to me Now I'm late like it's truancy And I'm sharing it musically And I paint it so beautifully I just need an opportunity, I hope you agree Faith is renewed and I'll gladly pay my renewing fee Give me a sign 'cause lately to you I've gravitated Let's work with patience 'til all my problems eradicated Mentally I should be re-calibrated 'Cause I'm still waiting to hear from you And I hate that I'm getting agitated I contemplated in isolation and now I made it To a conclusion what my mind and spirit have debated This is my test you created until I've graduated So I accept the challenge and yes, I appreciate it Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky Waiting for an answer Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins (Lord have mercy) Waiting for an answer Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky Waiting for an answer Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins (Lord have mercy) Waiting for an answer Maybe the Lord will forgive me of my sins
