Sometimes I couldn't read the signs
My people done left me behind
I think I hear a praying man coming
I think I hear a praying man coming

from Big KRIT (Ft. BB King) – Praying Man Lyrics on Rap Genius

Since KRIT is talking bout' slaves. Slaves usually couldn’t read back then so once the slaves tried to escape they couldn’t understand the signs which would lead them to safety, reading the signs here refers to being able to survive on your own, until this man comes along and saves them from their oppressor
