Ganja Plant albums never offer musician credits, but the group's identity is no secret: This is a side project by members of John Brown's Body, one of the finest roots reggae bands in America. Usually side projects represent something of a stylistic departure, but in the case of John Brown's Body, the variation sounds an awful lot like the theme - not that that's a bad thing by any means. What does seem to set 10 Ft. Ganja Plant apart from its parent organization is an even greater emphasis on mystical, dubwise production textures and a tendency toward instrumentals rather than songs (though John Brown's Body singer Kevin Kinsella makes a number of appearances here).

Mercy
10 Ft. Ganja Plant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

짙어진 밤
반쯤 흐릿해진 숨결이
내 안을 가득 채우고 나 still alone
점점 아득해진 너와의 호흡
난 매일 uncontrol

이 붉게 물든 강을 가로질러
I change my clothes, my hair, my face, my name

I'm begging you for mercy (oh)
이곳에서 날 꺼내 줘
Mercy
어둠의 끝에서 기도해
I want your mercy

Ah ah 쓰라린 상처는 다시 따 따끔
잊혀질 만하면 찾아와 이별은 이따금 구차해도 괜찮아
빡빡한 거절은 딱딱한 표정 짓게 만들어
차차 나아질 거야
니 손을 잡고 싶어 안고 싶어 갖고 싶어 알고 싶어
니 안에 평생토록 갇혀 살고 싶어
다시 불속으로 뛰어 들어가 네게 빠지고 싶어 deeper

이미 벌어질 대로 벌어진 깊은 상처
니가 나의 고통인걸 알면서도 다쳐
멈출 줄 모르는 연속된 아픔이
지속이 돼도 내 흉터는 너를 못 잊어
깊숙이 들어가지 나는 밑바닥에서
너라는 한줄기의 빛을 또 기다려 (uh)
I'm begging you for mercy, for your mercy

I'm begging you for mercy (oh)
이곳에서 날 꺼내 줘
Mercy
어둠의 끝에서 기도해
I want your mercy

Your mercy, I want your mercy
Your mercy, I want your mercy

찢겨진 흉터에 구름을 덧칠해
가릴 수 있다면 never mind
쏟아져 내리는 수많은 빗속에
아픔도 씻겨가길

I'm begging you for mercy (oh)
이곳에서 날 꺼내 줘
Mercy
어둠의 끝에서 기도해
I want your mercy

부디 자비를 베풀어주소서
그대 안에서 끝나길 비로소

Your mercy, I want your mercy

부디 날 용서하소서
그대 안에서 살길 비로소

Your mercy, I want your mercy
For your mercy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Mercy" by 10 Ft. Ganja Plant express a love for the luxuries of life while also highlighting a desire to keep things simple and focused on creating art. The repetition of the word "mercy" in the chorus could be interpreted as a plea for mercy, but it also serves as a reminder to be grateful for what one has. The mention of cocaine, references to writing and recording music, and the line "going too fast gotta press the brake" allude to a fast-paced, hedonistic lifestyle that is balanced by an artistic pursuit that requires dedication and discipline.

The verses also touch on themes of loyalty and betrayal, with lines like "switched up too many squads got played" and "real ones never betray". The use of Persian language in the song also adds another layer of cultural nuance to the lyrics.

Overall, "Mercy" is a song that celebrates the good things in life while acknowledging the challenges that come with pursuing one's passions and maintaining meaningful relationships.
