Mama's favorite, the prodigal son
At the end of the day now am the chosen one
Lost my way so many times am wondering
If I'll make it through the night
Ever get it right (ah)
I don't know why u never leave me lonely
If I was you I would love me shanu mi (eh) shanu mi (eh eh)

Have mercy on me, mercy lord [X3]
Have mercy on me, mercy lord [X3]
Have mercy on me

I need some brighter days
Can't take the pain, it’s true
But am man enough to say
I fell so far away from you
And I can't forget the day
When I felt you right by my side and am the one to blame
For the way I live my life (ehh hey) now am lying here
Wide awake tryna find the words to say
That am tryna find a better way cos I need to get it right with you
Yes am lying here wide awake (uhn hu'un) tryna find the words to say that am tryna find a better way
Yes I need to get it right with u

Have mercy on me, mercy lord [X3]
Have mercy on me, mercy lord [X3]
Have mercy on me, mercy lord [X3]
Have mercy on me, mercy lord [X3]
Have mercy on me

Lord I feel so lost without you, this long road is lonely
(ehh yeah) and I feel so blind without you the way forward I don't see
I will find you (find you)
Can't live my life without you
So am singing this song about you
I need you to please save me from myself
You said to ask (you said to ask)
And I receive, am not just asking am begging please
I know I've been doing wrong
Father I need you more, father I need your mercy, father I need your love

My sister says am always falling for the wrong girl
Sometimes I think am just living in the wrong world
Sometimes I wish that I could stop the clock rewind the time and take it back to when I felt your spirit by my side
Started out just tryna make you and mama proud but in tryna make a way I lost my way somehow
I was chasing money and honies but it’s funny how
Now am king of the town but alone in the crowd
So stressed now I gat issues with trust
Don't know what love is too many years dealing with lust
Buh work in progress is what I tell myself I am (lies) but you know that
I know that am a just a broken man buh lord I need u, I need you father and friend (I need you)
Put this wretched rotten heart back together again
Look in the mirror and the only reflection I see
Is just a shadow of the man I should be (have mercy on me)

Have mercy on me, mercy lord [X3]
Have mercy on me, mercy lord [X3]
Have mercy on me, mercy lord [X3]
Have mercy on me, mercy lord [X3]
Have mercy on me
