95 South (All of the Places We've Been)-Gil Scott-Heron

[00:13.789]In my lifetime [00:16.659]I've been in towns where there was no freedom or future around. [00:25.580]I've been in places where you could not eat or take a drink of water where ever you pleased. [00:37.824]And now that [00:38.892]I meet you in the middle of a mountain [00:43.025]Well, I'm reaching out from within.

[03:02.252]And since their lives got me to the middle of a mountain [03:07.823]Well, I can't stop and give up on them.

[03:26.652]From all of the places we've been, [03:32.502]From all of the places we've been alot of places, yeah [03:38.237]From all of the places we've been, [03:41.237]Been down, been down, been down, alot of roads and places [03:47.237]All of the places...
