On Coming from a Broken Home (Pt. 2) - Gil Scott-Heron[00:00:00]

Written by：E. Hudson/Kanye West/Gil Scott Heron[00:00:01]

And so my life has been guided[00:00:03]

All the love[00:00:06]

I needed was provided[00:00:07]

And through my mothers sacrifices[00:00:09]

I saw where her life went[00:00:11]

To give more than birth to me but life to me[00:00:14]

And this ain't one of the clichés about black women[00:00:18]

Being strong[00:00:20]

'Cause hell if you're weak you're gone[00:00:21]

But life courage determined to do more than just survive[00:00:23]

And too many homes have a missing woman or man[00:00:29]

Without the feeling of missing love[00:00:33]

Maybe they are homes that are hurt[00:00:36]

But they are no real lives that hurt without reach[00:00:39]

But not broken[00:00:43]

Unless the homes of soldiers a stationed overseas[00:00:45]

Or lost in battles or broken[00:00:49]

Unless the homes of firemen[00:00:51]

Policemen construction workers seamen railroad men truckers pilots[00:00:52]

Who lost their lives a but not what their lives stood for[00:00:57]

Because men die men lose they are lost and they leave[00:01:02]

And so do women[00:01:07]

I came from what they called a broken home[00:01:09]

But they ever really called it a house[00:01:12]

They would have known how wrong they were[00:01:16]

We were working on our lives and our homes[00:01:19]

Dealing with what we had not what we didn't have[00:01:22]

My life has been guided by women[00:01:28]

But because of them[00:01:31]

I am the man[00:01:33]

God bless you mama[00:01:35]

And thank you[00:01:37]
