Gill Scott Heron Poetry or Pros   1 comment

I did not become someone different

That I did not want to be

But I’m new here

Will you show me around

No matter how far wrong you’ve gone

You can always turn around

Met a woman in a bar

Told her I was hard to get to know

And near impossible to forget

She said I had an ego on me

The size of Texas

Well I’m new here and I forget

Does that mean big or small

No matter how far wrong you’ve gone

You can always turnaround

And I’m shedding plates like a snake

And it may be crazy but I’m

The closest thing I have

To a voice of reason

Turnaround turnaround turnaround

And you may come full circle

And be new here again

  1. RIP gill scott heron! I didn’t know he was the one who originally said ‘the revolution will not be televised’. I thought it was the rapper Common.
