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
