"Lord Have Mercy" lyrics

We'd like to just take time out tonight and sing one of the old hymns for you
(Song) [?]
I wonder if you would help me just sing

Before [?] exhausted, I can't appear tired
The topic wasn't my optic when I was near sighted
Found peace in the beast, now can't sleep if hear quiet
Could settle Nebuchadnezzar, whoever did try it
Could speak for supper, sleep for supper, it's a rare diet
The government [?] won't even respect, fear riot
No joke, folks spoke like everything near wired
Planned a mighty crime, so thank 99 my year hired

The thirsty saying: "Lord, have mercy, [?]"
The thirsty saying: "Lord, have mercy, [?]"
The thirsty saying: "Lord, have mercy..."

The past crashed, [?] called homes
To reach the next level, some stepped on stones
Forgetting games, some dangerous small loans
You know the kids start big heart, chest sore bones
None wanted to sit at the table, they only saw thrones
Had minimal deal with the rich, you know ignore clones
Some get taller, I stick up artists that draw crones
When disappear my hair forever, I never wore [?]

The thirsty saying: "Lord, have mercy, [?]"
The thirsty saying: "Lord, have mercy, [?]"
Thirsty...

Designed from the finest dynasty, went from Kush to smoking
Brave was the slave, the brave pushed the ocean
If I had affection, mistook his potion
Don't heed from the books you read, this ain't the look of chosen
Seem to enter demon's seat, been the evil exposin'
Shown to touch, ain't justice, just leave the evulsion
Rented a cloth, tend to be lost, need new to be woven
And we need real freedom, stop believing in this falsehood

The thirsty saying: "Lord, have mercy, [?]"
The thirsty saying: "Lord, have mercy, [?]"

(All of it)
