This is a song about change, you see We say many things about the changing aspects of our lives We say that since change is inevitable, we should direct the change Rather than simply continue to go through the change We sing a song of revolution as change To the brothers in the Caribbean and Africa, Where I'm Coming from Early in the mornin' I heard the call of the crow. He said "C'mon now Brother, I want you to fly with me. Can't you see, it's time to go?" I been working on this delta underneath the burnin' sun. Seem like a Mississippi revolution feel like where I'm coming from. Brother man run to Nebraska after the Civil War was through. He worked with his hands, he worked on the land alla his life-- nothin' else he know to do. Rootin'-tootin', wild-west-shootin'-up Brothers! Though His story don't teach us none. Seem like a Wild West Revolution oughta be where I'm comin' from. Brother man raised on welfare He live his life in the heart of the city. Among the junkies and the desperate people he learned about life without pity. But he's just been thinkin' and waitin' and thinkin' and waitin', know his chance was bound to come. Seem like big city revolution oughta be where I'm comin' from. The point I'm trying to make, movin' from place to place and time to time (is that) vibrations that bring on new vibrations is all that's on peoples minds. (They tell me) Don't be 'fraid of revolution! It ain't nothin' but change and change is surely bound to come. Put a little revolution in your life and you'll understand where I'm comin' from.
I have more years behind me than I have in front of me but I hate to see what you have to look forward to y'all had better wake up and vote for your future don't let money change your mind

I wish he was still here, making music and inspiring black people everywhere.
I started listening to Gil at a young age and he never left any stones un- turned.....he always was a voice for the worlds oppressed period!
Play this at a nice volume driving with the sun beating on your face, does wonders for your mind!
Or late night highway riding.
Gil-Scott was before his time
...but he was right on time.❤
so deep, inspirational track, his songs are vital and still damn relevant.
When I listen to his music I feel like he's right there teaching my ears listen.i love it 💙🖤🤍🖤🤍💙🖤🤍💙
This is a song about change, you see
We say many things about the changing aspects of our lives
We say that since change is inevitable, we should direct the change
Rather than simply continue to go through the change
We sing a song of revolution as change
To the brothers in the Caribbean and Africa,
Where I'm Coming from
Early in the mornin' I heard the call of the crow.
He said "C'mon now Brother, I want you to fly with me.
Can't you see, it's time to go?"
I been working on this delta underneath the burnin' sun.
Seem like a Mississippi revolution feel like where I'm coming from.
Brother man run to Nebraska after the Civil War was through.
He worked with his hands, he worked on the land alla his life--
nothin' else he know to do.
Rootin'-tootin', wild-west-shootin'-up Brothers!
Though His story don't teach us none.
Seem like a Wild West Revolution oughta be where I'm comin' from.
Brother man raised on welfare
He live his life in the heart of the city.
Among the junkies and the desperate people
he learned about life without pity.
But he's just been thinkin' and waitin' and thinkin' and waitin',
know his chance was bound to come.
Seem like big city revolution oughta be where I'm comin' from.
The point I'm trying to make, movin' from place to place and time to time
(is that) vibrations that bring on new vibrations
is all that's on peoples minds.
(They tell me) Don't be 'fraid of revolution!
It ain't nothin' but change and change is surely bound to come.
Put a little revolution in your life
and you'll understand where I'm comin' from.
Damn! So deep.
Musically Superb!!!!!!! From the Souls of Gil Scott Heron and Brian Jackson...
