No Mercy

I show no mercy, I won't beg for none either Smile for the world, but the pain runs deeper I'll fight till I win or until I become weaker I show no mercy, I won't beg for none either a messed up childhood had me Ready to quit The world on my shoulders was too Heavy to lift Surrounded by sharks, trying to steady my ship But I believed in a wounded lion, more than the deadliest fish No paddle, I had to get to the shore with a bleeding arm When you've been through a storm you don't need the calm You'll find a way to survive no matter what occurs I learned to speak when it matters, because you can't get back lost words Bullies making fun of me for not having a dad Kicked while I was down, wounds growing deeper I was getting stronger when I should have been going weaker I guess they just didn't match the passion I had I never cried for help, too much pride I had weak moments, but survived my attempts at suicide It was just a set back, and I bounced back I wouldn't let their harsh words become my soundtrack I changed the song and rewrote the script When I was falling, I didn't have any rope to grip I made it back up, even if I bled all the way up The doubters mouths have since stayed shut I don't need anything especially not sympathy I've already proved I'm built for this mentally A few of the crashes dented me But even depression failed in lynching me I show no mercy, I won't beg for none either Smile for the world, but the pain runs deeper I'll fight till I win or until I become weaker I show no mercy, I won't beg for none either
