Text: Gil Scott-Heron. I'm New Here. I'm New Here.

No, no, no, no

I did not become someone different
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
I 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 turn around

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

Turn around, turn around, turn around
And you may come full circle
And be new here again
