Z-RO was born Joseph Wayne McVey IV in Houston's South Park neighborhood on January 19, 1977.[5] At age six his mother died, and he was shuttled from household to household in search of stability, eventually settling in the Ridgemont area, a middle-class suburb in Missouri City in Southwest Houston.[5] When Z-Ro reached his late teens he was unemployed and resorted to drug dealing and hustling on the streets.[5] According to Z-Ro, listening to the music of 2Pac, Geto Boys, Street Military, K-Rino and Klondike Kat inspired him to work harder for his goal of leaving the streets.[5] Z-Ro discovered his talent of freestyle rapping and after going through a couple of recording studios to make a demo,[5] the CEO of a local label discovered and signed him.
Z-Ro released his critically acclaimed Rap-a-Lot debut titled The Life of Joseph W. McVey.[5][6] The record was a huge success and helped expand Z-Ro's and Bobby Craig's fan base beyond the South.[5] In 2005, Z-Ro released Let the Truth Be Told, which was well received.[5] Z-Ro's 2006 album I'm Still Livin' was released while he was imprisoned for drug possession, to positive reviews.[7][8] It was called "a great album... powerful" but "relentlessly bleak" by The Village Voice[7] and "one of the best rap albums to come out of Houston" by the Houston Chronicle.[9] In 2010 he released the album titled Heroin, which was followed by an album titled Meth in 2011 and then Angel Dust in 2012.
Z-Ro released his first EP under The Mo City Don titled Tripolar on August 25, 2013 via One Deep Ent.[2] Z-Ro then followed up with The Crown in June 2014.[10] In February 2015, Z-Ro released his first proper studio album in three years, titled Melting the Crown.
In 2016, Z-Ro released Drankin & Drivin in August[11] and Legendary in November under his label One Deep Entertainment.
Mercy
Z-Ro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody fin to die, by the hands of the dark angel adjust
Snatching your breath, till it dims up your chest
How much pain, can I manifest
When I come to wreck, ripping through your flesh techs
My killers you'll never see, invisible invisible are we
Unseen like ghosts, strike like infrared beams make toast
We smoke the most, but never bump the most
Better feel the attack, cause we cloak in the image of smoke
Leaving motherfuckers broke like a king of jokes, mercy
I know not of a feeling, but the thriller
Of a killer gets my adrenaline rushing
Never stopping, watching niggas dropping
More breaking blood gushing, I done opened the wounds
As I destroy cities with typhoons, and masoons
Your doom has awaited, all your mercy's forsaken time to die
Gotta kill them all, every nigga fin to fall when I kill them all
Found them up in bombs, ywith stomach punches
Yelling and running, K of dynasty coming
[Verse 2]
Mortuless contender, Guerilla Maab member I be
It'd be an epidemy, hoes want to get rid of me
Fin to be, found dead and deceased
This ain't no game, ain't a damn thing changed
Cause I came, to bring the pain
Glock ass still fits, running on they head
while they play it, I rise up in chains
Hag in here, hag in here more deadly than anyone's intention
It had to be, more casualties
While I'm in more blemishes, than fatal inflictions
Slice them up like a wolverine, but I use a machete and a guillotine
want to stop like Akeim, on my god damn dream
And now mark and ass niggas, recognize my team
[Hook - 4x]
Murderer in me, I love to see you bleed
[Z-Ro]
The murderous feeling, is killing your kin
And tripping them niggas up, with a 4-5
Hit the ground and running bud, then I probably bumping in blood
A fast thug fin to lose his life, motherfucking nigga from Texas
Steady with the dumb plexers, by the hand when I'm kicking your ass
And everybody better ball on
Cause I fuck around, and why'all gone and a nigga like me
Cause I'm blessed with a tight 22's, AK-47, 3-57, Mac 11
Balling and and a 25, bulletproof vest and a sharpened shank
Motherfucker your body gone stank, I'm flawless
Swinging and leaving them jawless
One of these niggas, are about to bleed
Running with the big dog, follow my lead
They following they mama straight, when we
Put him in the streets I'm a regular competitor
To the niggas, that I want to act surely
Everybody want to live, let the early bird get the worm
Run up in the corner store bright early
Even though I be hanging with thugs
Giving mean mugs, and I do a lot of drugs till I pass out
When I smell a dirty rat, up all in my motherfucking face
I'm hunting they, motherfucking ass out
When I be stepping and pulling my whip
And I'm ready to go to war, with them niggas
That be stepping and pulling back, they fucking up grind
It's going down, load the clip in the gun and I'm making them run
A gorilla nigga evermore buck and he died, but who was the nigga
That's talking down, don't really want me to get an attitude
I'm slapping haters up out the niggas, that think of my trigger
Won't be getting no automatic beatdown, but that's what I live for no mercy
[Hook - 4x]
[Verse 4]
Walking the land, of a naked world
Looking down, up on my enemies in vein
With a mind full of deadly games, I'ma serve your aim
Shouldn't of killed putting holes in your frame, feeling no remorse
As deadly force overcomes my thugs, so bare witness
Sense of relentless vengeance, and 24 victims of wickedness
Out the hills of homicide, cause everytime I pull a whip enclosed
I can hear the sounds of bodies, from the victim of 17 and reloads
Did you really believe, that you could platinum-sieve a nigga like me
I was born to murder the world, but killers and G's and evil deeds
It'll be a whole lot of fly bringing
Some saying, if you run up on me the wrong way
I'ma be forced, to pull a AK
Bust your ass in the head, when the lead spray
No I'm not lying, I know you the fourth guy
To a region in mouth, no time to shine
You the dead victim of reincarnated, man for real I show no mercy
[Hook - 4x]

Everybody fin to die, by the hands of the dark angel adjust
Everyone is going to die, under the control of a menacing force
Snatching your breath, till it dims up your chest
Taking away your life force, suffocating you until you can't breathe
How much pain, can I manifest
How much suffering can I bring into existence
When I come to wreck, ripping through your flesh techs
When I arrive to cause destruction, tearing through your body and defenses
My killers you'll never see, invisible invisible are we
My assassins are always hidden and unseen
Unseen like ghosts, strike like infrared beams make toast
We are like ghosts, striking with precision and burning everything in our path
We smoke the most, but never bump the most
We consume drugs heavily, but we don't engage in frivolous activities
Our figgas unleash like ropes, around throats
Our actions are like tightened ropes around people's necks, suffocating them
Better feel the attack, cause we cloak in the image of smoke
Beware of our assault, as we blend in with smoke and conceal ourselves
Leaving motherfuckers broke like a king of jokes, mercy
We leave people financially and emotionally ruined, showing no mercy
I know not of a feeling, but the thriller
I am unfamiliar with emotions, except for the excitement of killing
Of a killer gets my adrenaline rushing
Being a murderer fills me with intense excitement and energy
Never stopping, watching niggas dropping
I never pause, constantly observing people being killed

More blood is pouring out, as I inflict deeper wounds

You have been doomed, there is no mercy left, and it's time for you to die
Gotta kill them all, every nigga fin to fall when I kill them all

This is not a game, nothing has changed at all
Cause I came, to bring the pain

My gun still fits perfectly, intimidating and dominating them
while they play it, I rise up in chains
While they underestimate me, I rise above in my own shackles

There is evil and danger present, more lethal than anyone can imagine
It had to be, more casualties
It was inevitable, more people had to suffer and die

Hit the ground and running bud, then I probably bumping in blood
I hit the ground running, leaving behind a trail of bloodshed
A fast thug fin to lose his life, motherfucking nigga from Texas
A reckless criminal is about to meet his demise, a defiant individual from Texas
Steady with the dumb plexers, by the hand when I'm kicking your ass
Unwavering in my encounters with fools, dominating and humiliating them
And everybody better ball on
Everyone should be on guard and prepared
Cause I fuck around, and why'all gone and a nigga like me
Because of my unpredictable actions, you all will be eliminated by someone like me
Cause I'm blessed with a tight 22's, AK-47, 3-57, Mac 11
I possess a variety of powerful firearms, including a .22 caliber, AK-47, .357 Magnum, and Mac 11
Balling and and a 25, bulletproof vest and a sharpened shank
Carrying a .25 caliber handgun, wearing a bulletproof vest, and armed with a sharpened improvised weapon
Motherfucker your body gone stank, I'm flawless
Your corpse will decompose and emit a foul odor, I am perfect in my execution
Swinging and leaving them jawless
Striking with force, leaving them without a jaw
One of these niggas, are about to bleed
One of these individuals is about to suffer from bleeding wounds
Running with the big dog, follow my lead
Running alongside the dominant figure, follow my example
They following they mama straight, when we
They blindly following their mother's example, while we
Put him in the streets I'm a regular competitor
When we bring violence to the streets, I am a skilled and frequent adversary
To the niggas, that I want to act surely
To those who dare oppose me, I will make them regret their certainty
Everybody want to live, let the early bird get the worm
Everyone desires to survive, but the first to act has the advantage
Run up in the corner store bright early
Arriving early to rob a local store
Even though I be hanging with thugs
Despite my association with criminals
Giving mean mugs, and I do a lot of drugs till I pass out
Providing intimidating stares, and engaging in heavy drug use until losing consciousness
When I smell a dirty rat, up all in my motherfucking face
When I sense deceit and betrayal from someone close to me
I'm hunting they, motherfucking ass out
I am relentlessly pursuing and eliminating them
When I be stepping and pulling my whip
When I step out and retrieve my weapon
And I'm ready to go to war, with them niggas
Prepared to engage in a violent conflict with my adversaries
That be stepping and pulling back, they fucking up grind
Those who defy me and retaliate, hinder our progress and success
It's going down, load the clip in the gun and I'm making them run
The situation is becoming intense, as I load ammunition and force my enemies to flee
A gorilla nigga evermore buck and he died, but who was the nigga
A brave and ruthless individual fought until his demise, but who was the individual
That's talking down, don't really want me to get an attitude
Who is disrespecting me, unaware of the consequences if I become angry
I'm slapping haters up out the niggas, that think of my trigger
I am violently reprimanding those who provoke me, disregarding the danger they face
Won't be getting no automatic beatdown, but that's what I live for no mercy
They won't receive a swift punishment, but that's the life I embrace, showing no mercy
Walking the land, of a naked world
Roaming a desolate and exposed world
Looking down, up on my enemies in vein
Observing my enemies with disdain and superiority
With a mind full of deadly games, I'ma serve your aim
With a mind full of malicious intent, I will fulfill your demise
Shouldn't of killed putting holes in your frame, feeling no remorse
You should not have provoked me, causing fatal injuries without any regret
As deadly force overcomes my thugs, so bare witness
As my gang succumbs to lethal violence, witness the mayhem
Sense of relentless vengeance, and 24 victims of wickedness
Driven by a relentless desire for revenge, and responsible for the deaths of 24 individuals
Out the hills of homicide, cause everytime I pull a whip enclosed
Originating from a place of death and violence, because every time I draw a weapon
I can hear the sounds of bodies, from the victim of 17 and reloads
I can hear the echoes of corpses, resulting from 17 gunshots and subsequent reloading
Did you really believe, that you could platinum-sieve a nigga like me
Did you honestly think, you could surpass and filter a person like me
I was born to murder the world, but killers and G's and evil deeds
My purpose in life is to bring death and destruction, alongside fellow murderers and criminals
It'll be a whole lot of fly bringing
There will be an abundance of chaos and destruction
Some saying, if you run up on me the wrong way
There is a saying, if you approach me with ill intentions
I'ma be forced, to pull a AK
I will be compelled, to use an AK-47 against you
Bust your ass in the head, when the lead spray
Strike your head with bullets, when the gunfire is unleashed
No I'm not lying, I know you the fourth guy
No, I am not deceiving you, I know you are the fourth individual
To a region in mouth, no time to shine
You will be silenced forever, with no opportunity to succeed
You the dead victim of reincarnated, man for real I show no mercy
You are the dead victim of someone who has returned to life, and I genuinely have no mercy for you
