What do you see? What do you see? Oh, I know you can't tell me What I want to hear But could you tell me what I need to know? You know I can't tell you What you want to hear Oh, show me some mercy and I'll give you my ear Maybe I won't have to walk this road alone Give me some mercy I'm looking for mercy Mercy, mercy me, Lord What do you see? Mercy, mercy me What do you see? Hey What do you see? Mercy, mercy me What do you see? Hey Mercy, mercy, mercy No weapon formed against me shall hurt me I tried to kill her with kindness, they want the controversy To see me six feet from where the earth be Fuck 'em, know I'm godly How could I fall for what's earthly? I know truth is pain So I paint my picture with bloodstains From the chains of plantation n***** Slaves to the streets, where ain't shit sweet but swishers And perpetrators of the same community as the victims Now you would think police had immunity how they kill us But I know killers pullin' triggers to escape they feelings He shot a man in the back, I hope the saints forgive him Do he deserve different? Is he still worthy? Do he deserve Mercy, oh Lord, give mercy Mercy What do I see? What do you see? Mercy, mercy me What do you see? Hey What do you see? Mercy, mercy me What do you see? Hey What do you see? Mercy, mercy me What do you see?
