The Sign (feat. Pase Rock)

You wanna watch it all fall apart
 Every time I walk I watch
 I look, I notice, I observe
 I read the signs
 And the signs are pointing in the wrong direction
 The signs are not naming the streets
 Or leading you to the highways
 The signs are naming names
 Tombstones to mark the death of children not even born
 And I don't mean abortion I mean what is to come
 The signs are telling me to turn back around
 The signs are telling me to research my past
 The signs are telling me to learn from my mistakes
 The signs are asking me questions
 Do you wanna watch it all fall apart?
 Do you have any control?
 Is there anything that you can do?
 Time is not a nice person
 I know because the sign said it
 Time can be generous but ultimately time is indifferent
 Time does not give two damns or a fuck
 So what will you do?
 What will we do?
 So I'm in the middle of the street talkin' to the signs
 And people are lookin' at me pointing and laughing
 Like, "This mothafucker's crazy!"
 But do they not see the signs?
 Do you not see the signs?

 If there is one thing in this world
 That you can depend on
 That you can bet your last dollar on
 It's the ignorance of the American people
 But still I have faith
 But still I read the signs
 They are indeed there
 Some of us are lost
 And will not find our way
 No matter what the signs say
 Some of us do not see the signs because
 We are too busy shopping
 Some of us do not see the signs because
 We can't help but stop and look at the accidents and stare
 We are in a daze
 We are amazed by the world's displays
 Some of us do not see the signs because
 We are giving spare change to the homeless
 We are getting gas
 We are volunteering for duty
 And we are watching television
 We are driving around in circles on spinners
 And we are working eight to six
 We are on our way to the club
 We are high, we are drunk, and we are sober
 And we do not see the signs
 We are listening to a moron babble
 We are listening to tongues that lie
 We give them an ear
 We give them a hand
 We give them both eyes
 So we cannot see the signs
 Slow, there are children playing in the streets
 And they cannot read the signs
 They are only children
 
 Stop
 Stop!
 I fear there is no U-turn
 And that this road dead-ends
 Because we cannot read the signs
 Do you not see the signs?
 We must read the signs
 And we must turn around
 We must turn around
 We gotta turn this shit around
 And we gotta read the signs
 We must read the signs...
 We must read the signs...
 We must read the signs...
 We gotta read the signs...
 We gotta turn this shit around...
 We must turn this shit around...
 We gotta turn this shit around...
 We gotta read the signs...
