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

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

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

[00:00:06] All the love

[00:00:07] I needed was provided

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

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

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

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

[00:00:20] Being strong

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:43] But not broken

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:07] And so do women

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:31] But because of them

[00:01:33] I am the man

[00:01:35] God bless you mama

[00:01:37] And thank you
