Knock, knock, knockin’ on my door
But opportunity never awaits
So I’m taking matters into my own hands
Now I’ve become the prime litigant
Everybody’s got a helping hand
To pull the rug from under my feet
Saying they only out to give you just a little advice
But it’s the good advice they keep.
So I say
Sign of the times tell me
Ain’t nothing changed
And I feel
Like a dead man walking
Years go by and the ladder I climb
Seems to grow taller like everyday
I’ve got stress on my chest
My life is still in a mess
And my reward
Hell, that’s just too far away
Nobody understands the pressure I feel
To put a title right next to my name
My family wants to know
What is it I’m looking for
Can’t pull myself up outta this game
So I say
Sign of the times tell me
Ain’t nothing changed
And I feel
Like a dead man walking
When is this gon’ stop
I swear to god I’m gon’ pop
With the stuff that’s going down now
All my high hopes gon’ drop
Been seeing evil and sin
Just had to bury my friend
That’s why I’m rollin’ up this
And I’m puttin’ down this gin
Sign of the times tell me
Ain’t nothing changed
And I feel
Like a dead man walking
