Lyrics Banky W. – Mercy
Text:
Mama’s favorite, the prodigal son,
at the end of the day now am the chosen one,
lost my way so many times am wondering
if I’ll make it through the night,
I don’t know why u never leave me lonely,
if I was you I would love me shanu mi (eh) shanu mi (eh eh)
Have mercy on me, mercy lord
X3
Have mercy on me, mercy lord

Have mercy on me
I need some brighter days,
can’t take the pain, it’s true,
but am man enough to say
I fell so far away from you
and I can’t forget the day
when I felt you right by my side and am the one to blame
for the way I live my life (ehh hey) now am lying here
wide awake tryna find the words to say,
that am tryna find a better way cos I need to get it right with you,
yes am lying here wide awake (uhn hu’un) tryna find the words to say that am tryna find a better way
yes I need to get it right with u,
Have mercy on me, mercy lord

Have mercy on me
Lord I feel so lost without you, this long road is lonely
(ehh yeah) and I feel so blind without you the way forward I don’t see,
I will find you (find you),
can’t live my life without you,
so am singing this song about you,
I need you to please save me from myself,
you said to ask (you said to ask)
And I receive, am not just asking am begging please,
I know I’ve been doing wrong,
father I need you more, father I need your mercy, father I need your love
Mama’s favorite, the prodigal son,
at the end of the day now am the chosen one,
lost my way so many times am wondering
if I’ll make it through the night, ever get it right (ah),
I don’t know why u never leave me lonely, if I was you I would
love me shanu mi (eh) (I would love me) shanu mi (eh eh),
Have mercy on me, mercy lord

My sister says am always falling for the wrong girl,
sometimes I think am just living in the wrong world,
sometimes I wish that I could stop the clock rewind the time and take it back to when I felt your spirit by my side,
started out just tryna make you and mama proud but in tryna make a way I lost my way somehow,
I was chasing money and honies but it’s funny how,
now am king of the town but alone in the crowd,
so stressed now I gat issues with trust,
don’t know what love is too many years dealing with lust,
buh work in progress is what I tell myself I am (lies) but you know that.
I know that am a just a broken man buh lord I need u, I need you father and friend (I need you)
put this wretched rotten heart back together again,
look in the mirror and the only reflection I see,
is just a shadow of the man I should be (have mercy on me).
Have mercy on me, mercy lord

Have mercy on me, mercy lord
X3
Have mercy on me, mercy lord
X3
Have mercy on me, mercy lord
X3
Have mercy on me
