Truth Jones - Mercy

As I'm going through my journey
That's right I need to lead and guide them
Please have some mercy on me
Cuz these souls around me lost
I'm trying, but I'm not perfect
It's not free, no I can't buy them
Just gimme strength to lead
And they can't afford the cost
Every time I turn on the TV
I see some shit that nobody need
Sneak advertising to Po folks
So they can satisfy they greed
See these businesses don't give a shit about you
They just hungry for your cheese
Tryna make your feel like you inadequate
So less growth you able to achieve
As I'm going through my journey
That's right I need to lead and guide them
Please have some mercy on me
Cuz these souls around me lost
I'm trying, but I'm not perfect
It's not free, no I can't buy them
Just gimme strength to lead
And they can't afford the cost
I think It's time we start supporting our communities
Drivin up immunity to the big ol corporations
If they paid tax-es woulda been had enough money
To pay Black people reparations
Yo I'm tired of the people always talmbout shit
When they not about nothing just gossiping shit
Can't do for yourself so you hate all else
Feeding off jealousy is bad for ya health
Ain't no excuses for why this hasn't happened
Gave to Indians and Jews
Let's face it, America hates everything Black
Unless they profiting from our views
As I'm going through my journey
That's right I need to lead and guide them
Please have some mercy on me
Cuz these souls around me lost
I'm trying, but I'm not perfect
It's not free, no I can't buy them
Just gimme strength to lead
And they can't afford the cost
Every time that I turn on the radio
I hear some shit that nobody need
They be talmbout bullshit
Talmbout bitches, cars and jewelry
See we gotta do better if we know better
You already know, knowledge is power
But if you got it and you don't use it?
You ain't shit, Absentee father
As I'm going through my journey
That's right I need to lead and guide them
Please have some mercy on me
Cuz these souls around me lost
I'm trying, but I'm not perfect
It's not free, no I can't buy them
Just gimme strength to lead
And they can't afford the cost
