Home is where the hatred is


A junkie walking through the twilight
I'm on my way home
I left three days ago, but noone seems to know i'm gone
Home is where the hatred is
Home is filled with pain and it,
might not be such a bad idea if i never, never went home again

stand as far away from me as you can and ask me why
hang on to your rosary beads
close your eyes to watch me die
you keep saying, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
God, but did you ever try
to turn your sick soul inside out
so that the world, so that the world
can watch you die

home is where i live inside my white powder dreams
home was once an empty vacuum that's filled now with my silent screams
home is where the needle marks
try to heal my broken heart
and it might not be such a bad idea if i never, if i never went home again
home again
home again
home again
kick it, quit it
kick it, quit it
kick it, quit it
kick it, can't go home again

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Gil Scott-Heron (1949-2011) was an American poet, musician, and activist widely considered a pioneer of the hip hop movement. Born in Chicago, Heron began his career as a spoken word artist in the 1960s, blending poetry and jazz music to create a new genre that fused elements of blues, funk, and soul. His music often carried a strong political message, addressing issues such as racism, poverty, and social oppression. Heron is particularly known for his song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", which became an anthem against television propaganda and manipulation. Among his most important albums are "Pieces of a Man" (1970) and "Winter in America" (1974). He collaborated with artists such as Brian Jackson, Herbie Hancock, and Miles Davis. His influence on the musical landscape has been profound, inspiring generations of rappers, singer-songwriters, and musicians.
