NO MERCY
Kowan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mercy mercy mercy mercy mercy
No mercy
They hate my masculinity
It's in my DNA like the symbol on Infinites
They can't match my energy uh
I'm the black sheep that ride around with a black cloud
Ahead of y'all by miles I lived that life already
I been there done that why would I be redundant
I got bigger fish to fry already had what you wanted
I've been nice for years but back then you fronted
I Don't take you as sincere cuz of an emoji one hundred
Be around too many fakes for too long you'll become it
So I kick it with my momma like a baby in the stomach
Nah don't even look at me you ain't got the privilege
I ain't never been afraid to burn any bridges
What's the fascination every conversation bout my business
I don't owe no explanation so don't ask me why I did it
My patience's running thin in the thick of this propaganda
I'm ready to slap the soul out a troll for the slander
I don't show no mercy that ain't what I'm on
Let's give them a show since yall wanna perform
I don't care who right I don't care who wrong
Don't take it so light dawg I ain't the norm
I don't show no mercy that ain't what I'm on
One hit song and a nigga gone
Always been a king never played the pawn
I know they don't love me I just play along
Laugh now cry later either way I get the last laugh
Like I got sent to the principals I'm outta your class
I paid my dues where the visuals show me the cash
I'm making moves with my eyes glued cuz I know my path
I pop a lot of shit I ain't with all the politics
Cold hearted nigga walking around with the hotttest chicks
I gotta keep my standards high yeah high as it gets
Your dream girl's like a five at best she's a six
I talk slick you can't even keep up with the machismo
I'm killing shit like it's three of me call me the Migos
I got the mightiest strength skinny nigga act like he diesel
It's on sight wit it I ride dirty like the shit legal
Fly as an eagle sometimes getting even gotta get evil
Easily to read you lucky I don't bring that shit to your peoples
I'm on a different type of time what more can I say
Short temper you gon have a long day
I don't show no mercy that ain't what I'm on
Let's give them a show since yall wanna perform
I don't care who right I don't care who wrong
Don't take it so light dawg I ain't the norm
I don't show no mercy that ain't what I'm on
One hit song and a nigga gone
Always been a king never played the pawn
I know they don't love me I just play along
I don't show no mercy that ain't what I'm on
I don't show no mercy that ain't what I'm on
that ain't what I'm on
I don't show no mercy that ain't what I'm on
I don't show no mercy that ain't what I'm on




I don't show no mercy that ain't what I'm on
that ain't what I'm on
