NO MERCY
Alioof Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get one over me (Uh-huh)
You thought you could hide this
But I see everything (Uh-huh)
You think independence is what you need
But you′re wrong (Uh-huh)
You're just power hungry; I′ve known that all along (Uh-huh)
I have to raise my voice
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy for you
I didn't want a war
But now we′ve got to settle the score
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy for you
I think you deserve one last chance
′Cause I'm so nice
White flags better be up ASAP
Or prepare for a fight (Uh-huh)
This is your last chance to surrender peacefully (Uh-huh)
Or else I′ll take what's mine and put you six feet deep (Uh-huh)
You′ve left me no choice
No choice
I have to raise my voice
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy for you
I didn't want a war
No war
But now we′ve got to settle the score
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy for you
You've left me no choice
(You've left him no choice)
Now I have to raise my voice
(He has to raise his voice)
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy for you
I never wanted war
(He never wanted war)
But c′mon, let′s settle the score
(But now he's gotta settle the score)
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy for you

The singer then reveals that they are bringing judgment on the other person - they have left the singer with no choice but to take action. The singer declares that there will be no mercy for the other person, and the two will have to "settle the score". The singer does, however, offer one last chance for the other person to surrender and avoid a fight, but makes it clear that the outcome will not be in their favor. Ultimately, the singer never wanted conflict, but the other person forced their hand.
Overall, this song tells a story of betrayal, confrontation, and the consequences of one's actions. The singer provides a warning that there will be no mercy, and the other person will have to face the consequences for their behavior.
