lirik lagu mercy sinnerman - i did it for my people (single)

[intro]
so recently i’ve been thinking ’bout…
…what would i say if they asked me: “what made you keep going? why did you do it?”

i’d smile, ‘cause i know that they’d be waiting for some sophisticated, deep answer

but the truth is always very simple, so after holding a little pause…

i be like…

[verse 1]
if you ain’t get it by now ~ i did it for my people
for the lowborn and b~st~rds, n0ble and the regal
for the public enemies, fake~labeled as the villains
while others claimed to be, but nevеr been the heroes

and to bе honest, i don’t care ‘bout the roles they were given
‘cause main tag on your head is the self~recognition
this plays’ credits will reveal our titles and niches
and even knowing them i wouldn’t do anything different

if you ain’t get it by now ~ i did it for my people
for the youngin’ making choice between book and the reefa
for the middle~aged clerk for whom tie is like gibbet
for the og picking ‘tween merc’ and a beamer
and to be honest, i don’t care ’bout their final decision
because to judge is to be judged and all i want is vision
let vigilantes have their peace and put their rage in prison
and nonchalant relight the flame that once fueled their spirit

if you ain’t get it by now, i did it for my people
vulnerable bullies, scholars’ tired of reading
sentimental gangsters, cold~blooded dreamers
baptized godless, devout heathens

and to be honest, i don’t care ‘bout depth of contradictions
the true colors’ll show up at the end of the sequence
i’ve seen the mighty of the world frightened and retreated
and those who overcame, but was viewed as the feeble

i’ve seen the angels in the trap house, demons in cathedrals
i’ve seen the chosen loose, false prophets spitting wisdom
i’ve seen the feral child walk into lions’ den and come out carrying lion’s claws and the lion’s skin..
…on his shoulders ~ that shi’ was bigger than his wingspan
don’t even ask me, you know that i did it for him
and if i had a chance, you know i would do it again
and at the end…

…hail to the madmen and to mad ma~am
hail to the outcasts of the d~mned clan…
…visionaries
to my brave souls and my last~stand legionaries
blood over gold in the world of the mercenaries
i did it for the mocked, for the chased, for the sneered
i did it for the persecuted ‘cause of their ideas
i did it for the mistreated due to their appearance
ain’t not always what you see be the something that it is…

…mo’f~cka, so i did it for my beauties and the beasts
i did it for my troublemakers, for my misfits
for the ones ain’t shamed to smile, while their blood is on their t~~th
for the ones ain’t shamed to smile, when their eyes are full of tears

i did it for the crooks and the billionaires
and yeah, we done seen some of all them goons turn to millionaires
i guess at certain point, we just gotta go laissez~faire
or was it the dream and its fire turned chandeliers’…
…lights and made silverware shine in their manors here?

or was it the evening prayer?
i don’t know
and to be honest, i don’t care

if you ain’t get it by now, i did it for our fathers
the ones that never chose to be our role models, still…
…for those who have done
now we gotta represent for the sake of our sons

for every thing they wanted to become but did not
for those, who did their best with no manuals in stock
for those who never seen green fields of camelot…
for me you’re still a hero, even if the plot was dark
if you ain’t get it by now, i did it for our mothers
whose hands are full of cuts and eyes are full of sorrow, still…
…her soul is always aching for your losses and our wins
…her soul is always aching for the bruises on your skin

for every of their lives they have sacrificed for ours
for dreams of the night~outs under eiffel tower
for reveries of being something more than just a…
for me, you’re still a star

if you ain’t get it by now, i did it for my brother
the one i got by blood and one who’s got the other…
…type
i know, we ain’t talk too much, but when you’ll meet your darkest night
remember, that you’ll always have me fighting by your side

if you ain’t get it by now, i did it for my baby
with most beautiful eyes and one who’s gonna carry…
…them
my only legacy that’s gonna matter at the end
the only way for us to be ever born again

if you ain’t get it by now ~ i did it for my people
the north side brude, the undefeated legion
my hot~hearted pirates of the caribbean
with minds so cold, they might just speak norwegian

if you didn’t get it by now ~ i did it for my people
the sheep among the wolves, the dove among the eagles
the leader of the brutes. the first among the equals
but i’ll be d~mned if i ain’t last when pack is up to eating

[verse 2]
and if i die by a stray bullet…
…of random guy on a random block someway
after my mom’ve cried, or, even, if she wouldn’t
i know my son will avenge me one day

beside my grave i don’t need tulips
just bury me in the kingston’s shady bay
or maybe…
…under my kingdom’s bleak ruins
so that my ego won’t ever escape

my son, before you finish your lonely vendetta
before you unleash the sound of trigger getting pulled
please, pass this man with the lost eyes the sealed letter
where clumsy handwriting says i did it for him too

[outro]
how many times do i have to repeat it?
i did it for my people
let it be my motto, my mantra, like i’m the only preacher…
…in this church, somewhere in the wild
f~ck whoever said “it’ll never work”
and f~ck whoever said “it doesn’t worth to fall asleep at half past 3rd”

i did it for myself in second place, but did it for them in the first

those, who ain’t got the voice to speak and those who’s never heard

from the ghettos to penthouses, projects to suburbs
