Aloe Blacc - Mercy The Godfather Mix Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every morning just after the sunrise, the birds chirping
He rolls onto his side to see that one person
Who he considers his life prize, look into his wife's eyes
Right now, he ain't worried about guns bursting
Only thing on his mind is how much he loved his lady that he married
She carried his first baby, she played her role nice
Don't ask too many questions and never pay no mind
To the gossip her friends mention
When he come home, she ease a little tension with dome
Some peace and quiet and a shot of Patron
'Cause whatever she don't know won't hurt her
And plus, he made a promise that he'd never desert her
Always be home for dinner, unless he ring her first
Sundays he ain't no sinner, he go and sing in church
But he kneel down to pray for the weekday
'Cause that's when he let his heat spray
This is what he say

[Chorus]
Lord, please forgive me for the way I live my life
And send me an angel when I'm moving under that streetlight
I know men like me don't live to be too old
All I ask is that you have mercy on my soul

[Verse 2]
When a man's got something to lose
He play the game a little smarter
'Cause he don't want no dudes aiming at his little daughter
So every time he choose, the choice is a little harder
From the days before he was made before he was a starter
Just a second string, do anything to be king
Do anything to an enemy, anything that'll bring his reputation up
He honored the code to make cake
Slang, snort, or extort, whatever it take
To win the graces of the capos to be the boss's favorite
Addicted to the fast lifestyle, became a slave for it
Fell in love with the money, the power, when the paper hit
Everything he wanted he got it, he never paid for shit
Now he's a boss and he got his own thing
No flashy in the streets, loud mouth, bada-bing
He's a family man
He got his designs on an exit from the life
For his wife and his kid before he gets hit and the fat lady sings
[Chorus]
Lord, please forgive me for the way I live my life
And send me an angel when I'm moving under that streetlight
I know men like me don't live to be too old
All I ask is that you have mercy on my soul

[Verse 3]
Ain't no guarantee for a man in his degree
Everybody wants the title but it doesn't come for free
The closest man to you, that's the one that gets the contract
The one with access to make deadliest contact
The best friend you ever had knew his dad
Got kisses from his mom, treated you just like a son
Came up running the same schemes, paid the same prices
Always wanted the same dreams, shared the same vices
Too many similarities, too much in common
Too blind to see they was sharing the same woman
The sun rising again, now ain't this a motherfuck
Rolled over, looked in her eyes, that's when the lover struck
Straight through the ribs to the heart, that's where the cutter stuck
Dead on arrival, the coroners pulled the covers up
No suspects, the widow and the daughter
Drive off in the sunset with the baby's real father
And that's just how the game goes

[Chorus]
Lord, please forgive me for the way I live my life
And send me an angel when I'm moving under that streetlight
I know men like me don't live to be too old
All I ask is that you have mercy on my soul
