Delta Man (Where I'm Comin' From)-Gil Scott-Heron

[00:04.738]This is a song about change, you see [00:07.604]We say many things about the changing aspects of our lives [00:13.350]We say that since change is inevitable, we should direct the change [00:17.546]Rather than simply continue to go through the change [00:21.736]We sing a song of revolution as change [00:24.684]To the brothers in the [00:25.205]Caribbean and Africa, Where [00:27.158]I'm Coming from [00:41.509]Early in the mornin' [00:46.056]I heard the call of the crow. [00:53.222]He said "C'mon now Brother, I want you to fly with me. Can't you see, it's time to go?" [01:05.165]I been working on this delta underneath the burnin' sun. [01:16.842]Seem like a [01:17.868]Mississippi revolution feel like where [01:24.250]I'm coming from. [01:42.331]Brother man run to [01:44.193]Nebraska after the [01:49.175]Civil War was through. [01:55.699]He worked with his hands, he worked on the land alla his life-- nothin' else he know to do. [02:07.126]Rootin'-tootin', wild-west-shootin'-up [02:09.729]Brothers! [02:12.870]Though His story don't teach us none. [02:19.011]Seem like a [02:19.802]Wild West [02:20.594]Revolution oughta be where [02:26.449]I'm comin' from. [02:44.734]Brother man raised on welfare [02:49.194]He live his life in the heart of the city. [02:56.098]Among the junkies and the desperate people he learned about life without pity. [03:07.771]But he's just been thinkin' and waitin' and thinkin' and waitin', know his chance was bound to come. [03:19.160]Seem like big city revolution oughta be where [03:26.016]I'm comin' from. [03:55.976]The point [03:57.055]I'm trying to make, movin' from place to place and time to time (is that) vibrations that bring on new vibrations is all that's on peoples minds. (They tell me) [04:20.912]Don't be 'fraid of revolution! [04:25.160]It ain't nothin' but change and change is surely bound to come. [04:32.537]Put a little revolution in your life and you'll understand where [04:38.059]I'm comin' from.
