[English]

We gon' ball until we die of sin

Lord have mercy

I did a lot in this life

So I fight and survive, Lord have mercy

Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, please

Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, please

Lord have mercy

Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, please

Mercy, mercy, Lord have mercy

Now, standin' at the crossroads

Starin' at the cosmos

I'm a product of this gang bang

How we end up, only God knows

I'ma do about the self hate

I'm just tryna get myself straight

I'm so caught up in this wealth race

Cause I know I'm takin' hell's taste

Look, chef flame to your soul with us

When in wrong do what's wrong with us

Pops wasn't in the home with us

So we follow suit, look up to these old niggas

I can tell you how it go nigga

I can fire with the flame, explode nigga

Nah, you gotta be a cold nigga

With the yellow brick road, brimstone nigga

We gon' ball until we die of sin

Lord have mercy

I did a lot in this life

So I fight and survive, Lord have mercy

Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, please

Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, please

Lord have mercy

Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, please

Mercy, mercy, Lord have mercy

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
