I'm New Here - Gil Scott-Heron, Makaya McCraven

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

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
