lord have mercy
Singer:beanie sigel
i'm trying to climb the stairways to heaven like led zepplin
find that polished treasure like ellie levert
i do my dirt so my kids see heaven on earth
but the pain on my heart it weighs heavy it hurts
hope you see my good intentions for whatever its worth
through self conviction when i mention my intentions in verse
like a preacher or a deacon when he's speaking in church
know there's a lesson that i'm teaching if you seeking my verse
like the shock of the hour be a grievous thing
like the dropping of them towers man its plain to see
that them cowards can't sing the song believers sing
they rather march and hold hands like ml king
the nigga in me like malcolm little said
so by all means i'm armed and my weapons ready
hoping i learn them before i'm laid to rest and buried
pressure can also make a diamond
pressure can bust a man wrestling with his conscience
his self-accusing spirit of his past
so in that i not only pray for me i pray for he
my dear brother robert help him with his problems
and the evil things and thoughts that run through his mind
take a hand of my sister j. blige
as i listen to her life go down watching her life spin round
on them records every track she singin prayer
give her no more drama" let her "rainy days" be clear
