[Intro – Breath, low piano] Yeah… I don’t gotta yell no more. ⸻ [Verse 1] 🎶 I used to think power had to be loud, Had to shake the room, had to draw a crowd. Now I whisper truth and it still cut deep, ‘Cause calm scare people who don’t know peace. I don’t bark orders, I set examples, I don’t swing wild, I pick my angles. Mercy in my voice, iron in my spine, I ain’t lose strength—I refined it over time. I seen what noise do when ego drive, Confuse attention for bein’ alive. Now I speak less, but I mean more, Every word weigh like it been here before. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook – Low, steady] 🎶 Mercy in my voice, still firm though, I don’t gotta threaten for you to know. I stand my ground without destroyin’ choice— Mercy in my voice. (Crowd low: “Yeah…”) 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] 🎶 I learned control intimidate the wild, Calm presence make chaos mild. I don’t rush rage, I let it pass, I seen too many men lose futures fast. Mercy ain’t weakness—it’s confidence, Means you don’t fear retaliation. I don’t need revenge to feel tall, I let time and truth handle y’all. If I correct you, it’s measured, If I walk away, it’s intentional. I don’t carry grudges in my tone, I carry standards—and I leave ‘em shown. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook – Louder, layered] 🎶 Mercy in my voice, still alert, I forgive quick, but I don’t forget hurt. I keep my peace and I make my point— Mercy in my voice. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – Spoken, beat drops] God… Teach me how to correct without becoming cruel. Teach me how to lead without becoming loud. ⸻ [Verse 3] 🎶 I ain’t scared to show restraint, That’s what separate kings from tanks. Anybody can flatten the room, Few can leave it better when they leave it soon. Now when I speak, it land precise, No wasted breath, no rollin’ dice. I don’t need fear to feel obeyed, Respect move deeper when mercy stay. So if you hear my voice stay low, That’s mastery, not letting go. I learned the sharpest sword don’t shout— It just stay sharp and take the route. 🎶 ⸻ [Final Hook – Drop + resolve] 🎶 Mercy in my voice, steel in my tone, I don’t rule with fear—I rule with control. Still strong, just deployed by choice— Mercy in my voice. 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – Piano fades] Yeah… Volume ain’t power. Control is.

MERCY IN MY VOICE
