A circle spinning faster
And getting larger all the time
A whirlpool spelled disaster
For all the people who don't rhyme
Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him who just don't understand
Understand, understand, understand
A brand new sense of freedom
A brand new sense of time
Him may go and stand alone now
And leave the hate and fear behind
All the millions spent for killing
Seems the whole world must be dying
All the children who go hungry
How much food we could be buying
Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him who just don't understand
Understand, understand, understand
A brand new sense of freedom
A brand new sense of time
Him may go and stand alone now
And the leave the hate and fear behind
People wake up every morning
And simply push their lives aside
They seem to carry all their feelings
Crushed and crumbled up inside
Inside, inside, inside
Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him who just don't understand
So I went to see my father
Many questions on my mind
But he didn't want to answer me
God, the whole world must be blind
Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him may someday go insane
Insane, insane, insane
Without a brand new sense of freedom
A brand new sense of time
Him may go and stand alone now
And leave the hate and fear behind, yeah, behind
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.
