Lord Have Mercy Lyrics

I think I see things some other way
I think I marched as an angel into the devil’s cage
I wanna fuck up society and piss in its grave
I wanna love somebody in a selfless way

It’s time for the end and beginning to meet
Time for what I lost to come back to me
I wanna challenge my death by coming back to life
I wanna do it all over, gonna make things right

(Chorus)
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy
On me

I wanna suck out the venom coursing your veins
I wanna do something nice so I ain’t ashamed
When I stand like a prisoner outside of heaven’s gates
I wanna get some pity for my actions made

Time doesn’t make me scared at all
It only makes me think I better jump not fall
It’s time for me to sacrifice
I wanna smile for the problem child in God

Chorus (2x)

I messed up
Didn’t see a thing
I’m a little fool
What a little fool
What a little fool
What a little

Chorus (2x)

I think I see things some other way
I think I marched as an angel into the devil’s cage
I wanna fuck up society and piss in its grave
I wanna love somebody in a selfless way

Chorus

I think I see things some other way
I think I marched as an angel into the devil’s cage
I wanna fuck up society and piss in its grave
I wanna love somebody in a selfless way

It’s time for the end and beginning to meet
Time for what I lost to come back to me
I wanna challenge my death by coming back to life
I wanna do it all over, gonna make things right

(Chorus)
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy
On me

I wanna suck out the venom coursing your veins
I wanna do something nice so I ain’t ashamed
When I stand like a prisoner outside of heaven’s gates
I wanna get some pity for my actions made

Time doesn’t make me scared at all
It only makes me think I better jump not fall
It’s time for me to sacrifice 
I wanna smile for the problem child in God

Chorus (2x)

I messed up
Didn’t see a thing
I’m a little fool
What a little fool
What a little fool
What a little

Chorus (2x)

I think I see things some other way
I think I marched as an angel into the devil’s cage
I wanna fuck up society and piss in its grave
I wanna love somebody in a selfless way

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
