[Intro: Carlito's Way Sample]
"You're up against it now, motherfuckers!
You think you're big time?
You're gonna fuckin' die big time!
You ready?
Here comes the pain!"

[Verse 1]
Waiting for my heart to stop
I hear it beating in the dark
It keeps me up here where I lay
A constant source of aggravation
For an overactive imagination
Keeps me awake here where I lay

[Pre-Chorus]
I will wait
I will, I will wait

[Verse 2]
Sizing up a brand-new rope
To use it now would be a joke
To hang me up here where I wait
Turning on a light that blinds me
To make it easier to find me
And lights me up here where I wait
[Pre-Chorus]
I will wait
I will, I will wait

[Chorus]
Not the smell of mercy on me
Erase the pain, the pain of what I know
Not the smell of mercy on me
Not the smell of mercy on me
I'm reaching down into a new high in lows
Not the smell of mercy on me

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
What's been doin'?
Where you comin' from?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Where you been hidin'?
You're missin' more than some

[Guitar Interlude]

[Bridge]
Took a ride when I should've walked
Got there way too fast
Should have listened instead of talked
First become the last
[Guitar Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Waiting for my heart to stop
I hear it beating in the dark
It keeps me up here where I wait

[Pre-Chorus]
But I will wait
I will, I will wait

[Chorus]
Not the smell of mercy on me
Erase the pain, the pain of what I know
Not the smell of mercy on me
Not the smell of mercy on me
I'm reaching down into a new high in lows
Not the smell of mercy on me

[Post-Chorus]
Not the smell of mercy on me
New high in lows
Not the smell of mercy on me
New high in lows
Not the smell of mercy on me
Not the smell of mercy on me
[Outro]
Not the smell of mercy on me
Not the smell of mercy on me
Not the smell of mercy on me
Not the smell of mercy on me
