Analysis of Stop Pretending To Be Me



Stop Pretending To Be Me
Author:Mark V. Markov

Nephew Alex
Stop pretending to be me,
Stop wearing that mask.
For God knows and sees

How evil can some relatives be
To destroy and stand in the way
How evil can some be
Because of the love of money

It’s so hard in life sometimes
But everyone
Will give an account
Before the living God

I don’t live in the city of Sacramento
If you see nephew Alex lying
Pretending to be me
Don’t believe him

Nephew Alex
Stop pretending to be me,
Stop wearing that mask.
For the living God ,
Knows and sees.
