No Mercy
TI Ft The Dream Lyrics

There's no mercy on me
I am not receiving any sympathy or forgiveness for my actions.

No crying myself to sleep
I cannot even express my emotions through tears.

Nightmares have become my dreams
My subconscious is overwhelmed with fear and regret.

No mercy for me
My past mistakes have left me undeserving of kindness or leniency.

Good morning reality
I am facing the harsh consequences of my actions in the present.

Will I wake we'll never know
I am uncertain of what the future holds for me.

I'm late for my date with destiny
My fate has been predetermined, and I am behind schedule to meet it.

Let me go
I am pleading to be released from the burden of my past mistakes.

My mama loved me more than I do
My mother cared for me deeply, even more than I did for myself.

She said you Pop was jus' like you
My father and I share many similarities in character and behavior.

Trapped in a vicious circle
My life is a constant cycle of repeating negative behavior.

Jesus youngest disciple
I feel a strong connection to my religion and my faith in God.

Tell the judge if he throwed the book at me
I would like to be judged according to the teachings of the Bible.

Make it the bible
I believe in the power and guidance of the Bible in shaping my moral character.

Start calling myself the king
Although I lack a proper title, I still hold myself in high regard and strive for greatness.

For lack of a better title
I do not have an official position or role with prestigious distinction.

Loyal beyond belief to my detriment
My unwavering loyalty often hurts me more than it helps.

It's so vital I change or blow opportunities
In order to progress and succeed, I must make positive changes and not waste favorable chances.

Like a choir recital
My performance in life should be harmonious and impactful, like a choir's musical arrangement.

Now while I do not care who telling
I am indifferent to other people's opinions and judgments of me.

Meanwhile selling powder puts food in the bellies
Although my actions are illegal and harmful, they provide financial support for myself and others around me.

Well it's, unfortunate
The situation I am in is regrettable and not ideal.

The orphanage couldn't keep up the mortgages
The organizations responsible for child welfare lack the resources to provide a stable environment for children in need.

Kid go to school stupid they teachers ignoring it
Children who lack intelligence or understanding are not given proper attention or assistance in school.

Sorta just doomed, forced into being a goon, selling kush in a jar
I feel destined to engage in criminal behavior and sell illegal substances in order to survive.

Mixing at ton, a balloon
I combine large quantities of drugs in order to maximize profits and appeal to a wide range of customers.

Consumed with the same way of life I left
My lifestyle has trapped me and I cannot escape the same negative behavior that I was raised with.

Everything I know now learned by myself
My knowledge and understanding of the world is self-taught and not based on formal education or guidance.

All you see are the whips
Other people only see the material possessions and wealth that I have acquired through illegal means.

The Maserati's Ferrari's
These luxury cars are symbols of my wealth and success through criminal behavior.

So they don't sympathize
Others do not understand or feel empathy for my struggles and hardships.

Don't nobody feel sorry
No one else cares or has pity for the troubles that I am facing.

Everybody's standing and waiting an they're hating
People are watching and waiting for me to fail, and they despise me for my past actions.

Gospels say they should forgive me
Religious teachings emphasize the importance of forgiveness for one's sins.

They'd rather hand me to Satan
Others would prefer me to suffer eternal damnation than to forgive and offer me redemption.

Blatant displays the day of hypocrisy
People often act in ways that contradict their stated beliefs or values.

Boy you got to be kidding
Others are being disingenuous or insincere in their statements or actions.

Could it be possibly the second coming of Pac is me?
Is it possible that I am the reincarnation of the deceased rapper Tupac Shakur, known for his revolutionary lyrics that expressed the injustices of society?

Remember that
Do not forget the impact and legacy that Tupac left behind.

When he was here
During his time alive, Tupac was a symbol of social awareness and change.

And when he died you realized you need him here
After his death, many people came to the realization of how important Tupac was for inspiring change and bringing attention to societal issues.

God with me partner
I have faith in the presence and guidance of God in my life.

Ain't no one for me to fear
I am not afraid of any person or thing, as I trust that God will protect me.

Hindsight twenty twenty
Looking back on my past, I can see clearly the mistakes that were made and how they could have been avoided.

Future not as clear
However, the future is uncertain and unclear, and I am unsure of the path that I must take moving forward.

But I'm a rider till I die
Nevertheless, I will stay true to my beliefs and values until the very end of my life.

Put bullets 'tween my eye
I am prepared to die for my beliefs, even if it means being killed by an enemy.

I just ask that I can make my peace with god and say goodbye
My greatest wish is to reconcile with God before my death and to be able to say goodbye to the world on my own terms.

Fuck up the world like Lady Di
I am willing to leave a catastrophic and disruptive impact on society, similar to the tragic and controversial death of Princess Diana.

One the day he died
On the day of my death.

His wife and sons and daughters know that every day he tried
Regardless of my past actions and mistakes, my loved ones know that I worked hard every day to provide for them and to make a better life for all of us.

To be a person all they wanted better verses
I aspire to be a valuable and positive influence in the lives of those around me, rather than engaging in destructive behavior.

They could market to the merchants
Others can market my positive message to others who could benefit from it.

But when they closed curtains
However, when the public attention is lost, people often forget or disregard these positive influences and messages.

You could be for certain ain't nobody perfect
No one is perfect and everyone, including myself, makes mistakes that they must learn from.
