Black man, as your queen, I want you to know that I see you
I feel you
I'm on your frequency
And although you don't frequently feel valued, you are
You've been beaten, tortured, and slaved and stripped of your manhood
You've been to hell and back and yet, you're still standing
Persecuted, executed and broke down in every way
But somehow you continue to find a way
A way to be stronger, to be a provider, to be a lover, hell
Everyone wants to be you 'cause you're a king
And heavy crowns are painful
But God gives his hardest battles to his toughest warriors
Black man, I'm not your enemy, I'm your energy
When you turn to me and you enter me, remember, we are one
Until freedom, I will fight by your side
I know you hide your pain with your pride
You don't want pity, but you damn sure deserve a little mercy
Until, until you walked in my shoes
You can never ever seen my blues

Oh, never seen my blues
And until, you've felt the pain of a broken man
You can never stop upon the stand
Why I feel this way?
Why I'm starting to lose my faith?
Have a little mercy

Show a little mercy (oh, yeah)
Give a little mercy
Show some little mercy (oh)
Until, until we make a change (until, until)
Everything that's wrong remains the same
Oh no, remains the same
And until, until love has it way
Then and only then, there'll be better days
There'll be better days
Have a little mercy (yeah, a little mercy)
Show a little mercy (little)
Give a little mercy
Yes, a little mercy (oh)
Days like these days, they say won't last for long (for long, last for long)
It didn't matter, we'll always find the way to be strong
Days like these, they say won't last always (always)
Oh, have a little mercy (yeah)
Please, have some mercy
Have a little mercy (yeah, ooh-oh)
Take my mercy (ooh)
