'lord Have Mercy'

I gave up partying to make life better
Now it seems as though everyone sees me
 and goes Let's Get Her.
I can't seem to get on my feet
 Forsomeone seems to come along and
 Knock me out of my seat.

So many deaths it's hard to keep
 up with.
So many losses do I really have
 to do this.
Fourteen days away
 It'll be a year since my cousin went away
to heaven to stay.
 Nine months ago from now
God took my dad  some reason,some how.

My life has never been the same
 Although I am much more tame
Lord have mercy give me a break and help me.
 For you can really see.
