Have Mercy is T.R.I.F.E.'s first single. It's about ex-girlfriends and succumbing to their demise. All rappers talk about girls but this rapper talks about chasing them down but losing in the game of love.
lyrics
Are you a sucker for love? Then, raise your hand dog 'cause this song is for us"
Please! I know its hard to believe / I wear my heart on my sleeve / So have mercy on me / I said "Please!" / I know its hard to believe / I wear my heart on my sleeve / So have mercy on me / Have Mercy / Have Mercy on me / Have Mercy / Have mercy on me / Cupid don't shoot me / Please dont shoot me
Verse 1
I had the honor of dating ms. monica / thinks she's Ivana trump / that makes me mr. chump / and Mr. How high / when she says Mister jump / I can't dump her downside is I would miss her rump / she got around trife / I'm tryna catch my breath /A dog can chase his tail long enough until his death / yes / until the bank accounts empty / dumped me last month but we're still friendly / I'm Fulla envy / cuase theres a new guy / Like ordering a two piece / I choose sides / choose to lose right? / cuase who's the fool right? / I know what you thinking, but I don't care dog / I'm in a daze / yea that "Mr. Pierre fog" / to clear it up, I'm a have me some smirnoff /
no chaser becuase I chased her enough / So if I'ma have a drink I'm a have it straight up /
Verse 2
After monica / then came Racheeda / a tiger / you know what that means / she's cheater / but I believed her / believed the deceiver / she said she loved Jesus / beleive it wouldnt keep up / But I was wrong - so now she's in my song / Come on girls - can't we all just get along / Ya livin with ya ex
Still lookin for you next /with kids and all the rest
I got ya 1am text / He sleepin' you creepin'
telling me ya single.... / I'm believin' - fallin for your lingo / you was my valentine / I was so stupid / you met friends of mine / how could you do this /
and cupid / would you please stop shooting? / everytime you aim / you bring the boy to shame /
and I'm just tryna find a girl that wants my last name / and "he's just tryna find a girl that wants his last name"
Third Verse
Met a denise at a club / Then I fell in love /
Meanwhile she's out because her boyfrends a scrub /
Oh I really don't know/ whoa whoa how I/
Try to change girls like denise into a housewife / Always ending up in a cat and mouse fight / I Gotta learn how to throw 'em all outside / Throw out my
Life / wasting time / Letting Them get to know about trife / And I was wrong with that match.com / Fell in love with toyna who dragged me along / Had me along ways away from what I'm used too / Why'd u wait 3 months to say I didn't suit u / Saying my bad like it was just a boo boo / Like I'm not the one u broke the new too / All for what cuz da kids after lust / But there will be no more after after us......
Alright, maybe I'm just kidding.
