Lord Have Mercy

I don't know what's wrong with these children today Nothin' that a good a*s kickin' wouldn't help Lord, have mercy, the Devil he cursed me I heard you had the cup of life and I'm thirsty My niggaz keep fightin' for a street, the white man own So many died before they got full grown Plus I got an ingrown toenail I sit back in the window, and watch all the hoes sell A lot of a*s for a blast (That's right) Plus my little sister is gettin' fast Usin' mo' niggaz for financial aid (What?) They pickin' her up from the 10th grade In a jeep they try to creep Takin' her a*s to Lover's Leap I admit I'm a sinner (Yeah?) Did what I had to do just to get dinner But I was told you was the first G (No shit) L.A. is a war zone, Lord, so could you have mercy? You know who the f**k Jesus is I admit, I don't call too often (I know) I wonder why I don't live in a coffin 'Cause I know a lot of my homeboys pray But when it was time, they still got sprayed The gra*s is greener in my neighbor's yard He's white, so his house is barred up By the windows and the doors But my mom's gotta clean his f**kin' floors They won't let us in (That's right) Even if we learn to act just like them (Word?) But if you don't learn you flunk On a road to sleep, forever on a jail bunk (All day) But I ain't no punk and I won't get punked By the system, so I gotta diss 'em I was told you was the first G Somethin' ain't right, Lord, so could you have mercy? You know who the f**k Jesus is I'm dead, so bury me alive (Six feet) Under all this bullshit and jive 'Cause I know when you made South Central Shitty, it wasn't done intentional 'Cause I looked back before the crack Before the macks, in motherf**kin' Cadillacs It was the same old thing But nowadays, niggaz mo' brainwashed And I can tell everytime I see L.A. Compton to Long Beach gangs talk I wish when my pops got the erection He woulda used protection And I wouldn't be a squirrel tryin' to get a nut And I want the nut, just to get some butt It's like the battle of the s*xes My head spins around like I needed a exorcist But if you blew up the world today it wouldn't matter (Nope) Just send down a ladder To the people who had it the worst G I'm askin' you, Lord, please have mercy
