Wayne Notise (born March 10, 1973), better known by his performing name Lord Have Mercy, is an American rapper and producer from Brooklyn, New York City. He is perhaps best known for his association and performance with Busta Rhymes' hip-hop clique, Flipmode Squad.
Lord was born from immigrant Jamaican parents and spend his early years homing his rap skills listening to such artists as Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, KRS-ONE & Chuck D. Lord dropped out of college after his first year where his opportunity to play basketball out of state didn't work out. It was from this moment he decided to pursue his music career. Lord started working with a producer by the name of BackSpin who he met & worked with before he went away to college and then turned to the open mic circuit across New York. One of the places where Lord began was at the now famed and legendary Lyricist Lounge under the name of Rugged Raw M.O.R.E (an acronym which stood for Morbid. Origins Robotic. Enigmas) Lord shortly released two demos "Ice Cream" and "the final scene" which sampled the Brady Bunch theme.

Ace, Aces, ACE or ACES may also refer to:
The Aces, originally known as The Four Aces, were a Jamaican vocal group who are best known for their work with Desmond Dekker.
The initial line-up of The Aces consisted of Clive Campbell, Barry Howard, Carl Howard, and Patrick Howard. The group came to the attention of Dekker, who supported them when they auditioned for Leslie Kong at Beverley's studio in 1965. Kong employed the group as backing singers for Dekker and they can be heard on the song "Get Up Adinah" (credited as The Four Aces). They provided the backing vocals on Dekker's major hit "007 (Shanty Town)" as well as the track "Music Like Dirt (Intensified '68)" (the winning song of the 1968 Jamaica Independence Festival Song Contest). By 1967 the only remaining original members were Barry Howard and Winston Samuels and it is their backing vocals featured on "Israelites". Dekker's international success led to him touring overseas though The Aces did not accompany him due to Samuels refusal to fly (Samuels stating that "Rastas did not fly on iron birds") and Barry Howard's decision to emigrate to the United States. The Aces continued to record under their own name (without Dekker) and had a Jamaican hit in 1970 with "Mademoiselle Ninette". By 1971 the line-up had changed again, with Barry Howard now rejoined by Carl Hall. A string of hits followed with "Reggae Motion", "Take a Look", "Oh I Miss You", "Call Me Number One", "Be My Baby", and "Sad Sad Song". The song "Working on it Night and Day", though not a hit, did enter the pop charts in 1973. Little more was heard from the group until 1982 when they released "One Way Street".
The Aces was one of the earliest and most influential of the electric Chicago blues bands in the 1950s. Led by the guitarist brothers Louis and Dave Myers, natives of Byhalia, Mississippi, the brothers originally performed under the name The Little Boys; with the subsequent addition of harmonica player Junior Wells, they rechristened themselves the Three Deuces, followed by the Three Aces. The 1950 enlistment of drummer Fred Below prompted another name change, this time to the Four Aces; finally, to simplify matters once and for all, the group performed as just The Aces. Influenced in large part by jazz, they developed an urbane, sophisticated style well ahead of its time; in particular, Below's refined rhythms led to the rise of the blues shuffle beat, and helped launch the drums to a new prominence within the blues band hierarchy.
In 1952, Wells quit to join the Muddy Waters band, filling the vacancy created by the recent departure of Little Walter from Muddy's band; Walter himself quickly signed the remaining Aces as his new backing unit, renaming the trio The Jukes to capitalize on his current hit single, "Juke". A series of seminal recordings followed - "Mean Old World," "Sad Hours," "Off the Wall," and "Tell Me Mama" among them - before Louis' 1954 exit resulted in the Jukes' gradual dissolution as Little Walter's band, but freeing up the members to reform as a backing band for other Chicago blues musicians such as Otis Rush, Eddie Boyd, and others.
I caught a glimpse of your body by the river, I was alone
and the sky went forever
I was the one that killed your father in the First World
I once vowed to love your sister for a lifetime, took her
to the altar
And left her like a wind chime that was the dawning of
the age of the cannibal world
Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord,
Mama have mercy on my soul
I took your wild peacocks down to the sawmill and ground
their bones into dust and blood meal
A rainbow of feathers and shame fell upon my wicked hand
Lucy my love get inside my Grand Torino, I tell you
little girl don’t go into the jungle
There’s a million hungry insects there and man they’re
going to eat you alive...
Yes they will
Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord,
Mama have mercy on my soul
Cold dead moon don’t stare at me with your bony
judgmental eye
Only the peacocks and earthly things can judge me as they
pass by
Can judge me as they pass through this world, judge me as
they pass by
