[Chorus: The-Dream] There's no mercy for me No crying myself to sleep No mercy for me Nightmares have become my dreams No mercy for me Good morning reality Will I wake? We'll never know! I'm late for my date with destiny, Let me go!
[The-Dream:] Let me go! You gotta let me go! Right or wrong, let me go! I'm on my path, let me go!
[T.I.: Verse 1] My momma love me more than I do, She say, "Your pop was just like you" Trapped in a vicious cycle, Jesus' youngest disciple Tell the judge if he throw the book at me Make it the Bible Start callin myself the king For lack of a better title Loyal beyond belief to my detriment, It's so vital, I change or blow opportunities Like a choir recital Now while I'll not care who tell it Meanwhile sellin powder puts food in the bellies Well it's, unfortunate The orphanage couldn't keep up the mortgages Kid go to school stupid, they teachers ignorin it Sorta just doomed, forced into bein a goon sell the kush in a jar, Mix up da tar in a balloon Consumed with the same way of life I left Everything I know now learned by myself All you see is the wealth, the Maseratis, Ferraris So they don't sympathize, don't nobody feel sorry No mercy
[Chorus]
[T.I.:] Everybody's standin and waitin, chantin and hatin Gospel say they should forgive me, They'd rather hand me to Satan Blatant displays the day of hypocrisy, Boy you got to be kiddin, Could it be possibly second comin of 'Pac is me? Remember that? When he was here? And when he died you realize you need him here God with me partner, ain't no one for me to fear Hindsight, 20/20, future not as clear But I'm a rider 'til I die, put bullets 'tween my eye I j-ust ask I can make my peace with God and say goodbye Fuck up the world like Lady Di on the day he died His wife, his sons and daughters know that every day he tried To be a better person, all they want is better verses They can market to the merchants, But when the closed curtains Ay, you could be for certain ain't nobody perfect But when you're rich nobody give a shit, No mercy
[Chorus]
[The-Dream:] You gotta let me go! Gotta let me go! Let me go! Let me go!
