Gil Scott Heron - On Coming From A Broken Home

Gil Scott Heron

On Coming From A Broken Home

I want to make this a special tribute
to a family that contradicts the concepts
heard the rules but wouldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t accept
and women-folk raised me
and i was full grown before i knew
I came from a broken home

sent to live with my grandma down south
when my uncles was leaving
and my grandfather had just left for heaven
they said and as every-ologist would certainly note
i had no strong male figure right?
But lily Scott was absolutely not your mail order
room service type cast black grandmother
i was moved in with her; temporarily, just until things were patched,
til this was patched and til that was patched
until i became at 3, 4, 5,6 ,7, 8, 9 and 10
the patch that held lily Scott who held me and like them 4
i become one more and I loved her
from the absolute marrow of my bones
and we was holdin on,
i come from a broken home
She had more then the 5 senses
she knew more then books could teach
and raised everyone she touched just a little bit higher
and all around her there was a natural sense
as though she sensed what the stars say what the birds say
what the wind and the clouds say
a sensual soul and self that African sense
and she raised me like she raised 4 of her own
and i was hurt and scared and shocked
when lily Scott left suddenly one night
and they sent a limousine from heaven to take her to god,
if there is one.
So i knew she had gone; and
i came from a broken home

Mirror lyrics:

i came from a broken home
So i knew she had gone; and
if there is one.
and they sent a limousine from heaven to take her to god,
when lily Scott left suddenly one night
and i was hurt and scared and shocked
and she raised me like she raised 4 of her own
a sensual soul and self that African sense
what the wind and the clouds say
as though she sensed what the stars say what the birds say
and all around her there was a natural sense
and raised everyone she touched just a little bit higher
she knew more then books could teach
She had more then the 5 senses
i come from a broken home
and we was holdin on,
from the absolute marrow of my bones
i become one more and I loved her
the patch that held lily Scott who held me and like them 4
until i became at 3, 4, 5,6 ,7, 8, 9 and 10
til this was patched and til that was patched
i was moved in with her; temporarily, just until things were patched,

and my grandfather had just left for heaven

I came from a broken home
and i was full grown before i knew
and women-folk raised me
heard the rules but wouldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t accept
to a family that contradicts the concepts
I want to make this a special tribute
