NO MERCY
Nicky Hudson Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remind me to go easy, whittie, I could forget
I saw your baby’s made in plastic you’re a gangster, I bet
If you’re Italian and you rap, you ain’t a gangster for sure
Let me show you the real thugs here
But they don’t rap at all
Drive me down to the river
Cops car is a dealer
Who would you never expect
Hard drugs, no adidas (NO)
Mud on the floor of the bando
Cobwebs on the candle (Candle, lit it)
Why didn’t you came to my city
I would have made a damned scandal (Woo)
BCY, no IT
Many words but I’m low-key
Voices in my head’re screamin’
“Kill him with no mercy”
Sign
Write in cursive
This is your death sentence
In my place, you would do the same thing
Vice versa
Remind me to go easy, whittie, I could forget
I saw your baby’s made in plastic you’re a gangster, I bet
If you’re Italian and you rap, you ain’t a gangster for sure
Let me show you the real thugs here
But they don’t rap at all
Just a bass note (Paw)
And I’ve already fucked your career
Ain’t a gangster, ain’t a G.O.A.T.
How can you call yourself real? (How?)
I guess the case’s closed (Ok)
I don’t see thugs on these streets
Bad people, as you call ‘em
Certainly don’t do that in public, my G
Just put down your phone
Realize this ain’t Compton
Doc. Hawkton has your tests results
He said you’re so childish
And it might be
‘Cause you speak on impulse
And if you had them
I swear
I would have kicked your damned balls
You don’t need them
‘Cause you still have an adult to consult
In Nicky Hudson Jr.'s song "No Mercy," the lyrics delve into themes of gangster culture, authenticity, and confronting one's own weaknesses. The opening lines suggest a warning or a reminder to the listener to approach the situation with caution and perhaps not underestimate the singer. The line "I saw your baby's made in plastic, you're a gangster, I bet" can be interpreted as a sarcastic line, implying that the person being referred to may be putting up a front or trying too hard to portray themselves as tough or "gangster."
The following lines challenge the notion of being both Italian and a rapper equating to being a gangster. The singer asserts that the real thugs, who don't engage in rap, exist in their own world. The mention of driving down to the river and encountering a police car that resembles a dealer implies the singer's familiarity with illegal activities or a gritty environment.
The lyrics further portray a dark and ominous atmosphere with the mention of mud on the floor and cobwebs on the candle in a dilapidated building, referred to as a "bando." The line "Why didn't you come to my city? I would have made a damned scandal" suggests that the singer's city is known for chaos and potentially dangerous situations, contrasting with the listener's chosen environment, which they perceive as less threatening.
The chorus repeats the cautionary reminder and challenges the listener's self-proclaimed authenticity and street credibility. The mention of "writing in cursive" as their "death sentence" implies that the singer possesses the power to expose or condemn the listener for their false persona. The line "In my place, you would do the same thing, vice versa" suggests that under similar circumstances, the listener would likely engage in similar actions or adopt a similar facade.
The second verse continues to dismantle the listener's credibility, highlighting their lack of true gangster qualities. The mention of already affecting the listener's career and questioning how they can claim to be real and label themselves as a "G.O.A.T." (Greatest of All Time) challenges their authenticity. The singer's observation that they don't see any real thugs on the streets implies that the listener's definition of what constitutes bad people or gangsters may be misguided or overblown.
The lyrics take a more personal and confrontational tone in the latter half of the verse, as the singer dismisses the listener's behavior as childish and impulsive. The reference to "kicking your damned balls" suggests a desire to physically confront or punish the listener for their actions. The lyrics conclude by suggesting that the listener doesn't need their "balls" because they still have an adult figure to consult, implying that the listener lacks autonomy or is dependent on the guidance of others.
Overall, "No Mercy" presents a critique of gangster culture and challenges the authenticity of those who claim to embody it. The lyrics suggest a darker and gritty reality that contrasts with the listener's chosen environment, highlighting the singer's perceived superiority in navigating and surviving dangerous situations.
