lirik lagu the tongue – mercy
[hook: the tongue and jeswon]
lotta mercy
guess that i ain’t worthy
i been sending prayers
but they ain’t never heard me
i could be your saviour
listen to my sermon
p-ss it round the plate for the service
saying lotta mercy
guessing i ain’t worthy
i been sending prayers
but they ain’t never heard me
i could be your saviour
but nothing isn’t certain
you gotta look inside for your purpose
saying lotta mercy
[verse 1: the tongue]
uh
demons on the street corner
i be getting blessed
in this holy water
before i take a step outside
ride with me til the death
we can get so high
that we floating with the angels
man them girls so fly
they can drown you in their tears
for this world on fire
had to find my inner spirit so i could inspire
dying for a lie
i could really see it how it is
that you hear it in these lyrics that i’m feeding to the kids
out late night
guilty of original sins
stuck judas with the steel
cos i’m in it to win
lord’s creation
live on your radio stations
we rise to the heavens but it started in the bas-m-nt

[verse 2: jeswon]
yo, let me tell you what it really is
supreme lyricist
breaking my religion
not listening to leviticus
i never read the bible
but every line i write
they idolise me like an idol
forming more disciples
john the baptist of this rap sh-t
smash sh-t
feed the m-sses with baguettes and a bag of fish
ghetto activist
the streets is my tabernacle
peace to eve
trying to eat
off an adam’s apple
and there are snakes in the trees
i can see them rattle
my sixteen’s pristine sistine chapel
like michelangelo
pointing to the ceiling
i’m trying to get my heathen
something to believe in
kidnap the pope
hang him by his arms
spit harder
stigmata
hit a nail through his heart
say a prayer “????”
for another troubled life
getting buck off the blood of christ
ain’t nothing nice
[hook: the tongue and jeswon]

[verse 3: the tongue]
who is the g o d?
is it you?
or me?
or the wind in the trees?
or old steve who lives in the street
that you walk past every day
as he asks you for change
he’s broken free
or rich and a slave
to holy sinners
begging to be saved
what a game
what a strange picture to paint
bow down and confess
no answer ever came
no mercy
