"Have Mercy" is a song by American rapper YBN Cordae, released on March 8, 2019, as the second single from his debut studio album The Lost Boy (2019).
[1] In an interview with Genius, YBN Cordae talked about the process of making the song: I was in the studio all day, right?
I took a nap at like 11 and I woke up at like 3 AM, and then I wake up and my little bro, the cat who produced it, Kidd and Flip and then Brent my engineer.
[3] Lyrically, YBN Cordae asks for mercy and forgiveness due to his sins.
The first was directed by Cole Bennett and has a lighthearted theme; it finds YBN Cordae a prison jumpsuit, also featuring vivid colors, abstract imagery, "trippy effects", and large insects.
The second was directed by Aplus and takes a dark approach; it finds Cordae exploring through a scary motel, witnessing crimes and violence along the way, while surrounding palm trees also catch fire.
