Analysis of Lord please give me a sign
Napz 1992 (PA)
In a world full of lies..
Imma get high!
So I can fly up in the sky, have a talk with God…
I’ll ask why?
Why’d I have to say so many byes?
Why do I cry, inside, when I smile?
Lord, can you please give me a sign?
So I know I’m not talking to myself every night.
It just don’t seem right!
And why do we have to work our whole life just to retire and barely get by?
Why doesn’t anyone listen, when I express my mind??
I think I’ll be fine..
It just sucks!
Why can’t the rest of the world open their eyes?
This doesn’t add up!
God, are you there?
Can I get a reply?
What the fuck…
Just my luck!
Why do I feel like I’m dying?
Why do I feel like it’s almost my time??
I feel stuck!
My head’s about to erupt..
I don’t think I have much more juice in my cup…
