Hold on me

(Intro)(808 bass kicks in with a crisp hi-hat chop, underlying atmospheric piano chords)Yeah... uh.You don't even know it, do you?Look.(Verse 1 - Rap Cadence)You've got a hold on me, don't even know your powerI stand a hundred feet but I fall when I'm around yaShow me an open door and you go and slam it on meI can't take anymore, I'm saying—Hold up, look at how you do me, it’s a tragedyEvery time you look my way you disrupt gravityGot me trippin' on my laces, we been going placesBut you switch it up and leave me lookin' at blank facesI'm a giant in the city till you walk in the roomThen I shrink down to a shadow under the moonYeah, you got the leverage and you hold the remoteGot me sinking in the deep end, tryna keep us afloat, like...(Chorus - Pop Melodic)Baby, please have mercy on meTake it easy on my heartEven though you don't mean to hurt meYou keep tearing me apartWon't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?(Verse 2 - Rap Cadence, Double-Time)I drive through the night just to be near—Wait, let me finish the thought, I'm flying shifting the gearsTwo AM on the highway, staring at the linesHoping that I find a way to read between the signsYeah, my pride is all I got left packing in my pocketYou're a wild bottle rocket, I don't know how to stop itI ain't asking for a million, I just need the truthStop playing with my chest like a kid in a boothIt's a heavy-duty toll on my mental stateEvery time you hesitate, leaving love up to fateSo I'm screaming out the window to the midnight skyGive me something I can trust, tell me I'm not crazy, right?(Bridge - Melodic Rap)(Drums drop out, just a filtered synth loop)Consuming all the air inside my lungsRipping all the skin from off my bonesI'm a puppet on your string, but I need you to set me freeYeah, you got good intentions, but you're killing meJust give me the green light, or cut the cord cleanStop leaving me stranded in the in-between...(Chorus - Pop Melodic)(Full beat explodes back in with heavy 808s and claps)Baby, please have mercy on meTake it easy on my heartEven though you don't mean to hurt meYou keep tearing me apartWon't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?(Outro - Slow Fade)(Hi-hats slow down, piano chords echo out)Yeah, just a little mercy.Pop the clutch, drive through the night.Pride in my pocket.Have mercy on me.(Beat cuts completely on a final breath)
