Song Lyrics
And i was hurt and scared and shocked when lily scott left suddenly one night, i came from a broken home, women-folk raised me
I became one more and i loved her from the absolute marrow of my bones, and she raised me like she raised 4 of her own Home, heard the rules but wouldn t accept
She had more than the five senses, and my grandfather had just left for heaven Scott-Heron, and we was holdin on
I had no strong male figure right, women-folk raised me Gil, and my grandfather had just left for heaven
Just until things were patched, so i knew she had gone
And raised everyone she touched just a little bit higher, i was full grown before i knew
And she raised me like she raised 4 of her own, i was moved in with her temporarily, and we was holdin on
she had more than the five senses
So i knew she had gone, and i was hurt and scared and shocked when lily scott left suddenly one night, and my grandfather had just left for heaven
Women-folk raised me, and they sent a limousine from heaven to take her to god
A sensual soul and self that african sense, i come from a broken home, if there is one
i became one more and i loved her from the absolute marrow of my bones
And we was holdin on, what the wind and the clouds say (Pt., what the wind and the clouds say
And we was holdin on, and i was hurt and scared and shocked when lily scott left suddenly one night
Women-folk raised me, i was moved in with her temporarily, to a family that contradicts the concepts
i come from a broken home
To a family that contradicts the concepts, heard the rules but wouldn t accept
And raised everyone she touched just a little bit higher, and raised everyone she touched just a little bit higher Coming, i had no strong male figure right
and we was holdin on
As though she sensed what the stars say what the birds say, i came from a broken home
And i was hurt and scared and shocked when lily scott left suddenly one night, and they sent a limousine from heaven to take her to god
As though she sensed what the stars say what the birds say, and my grandfather had just left for heaven, until i became at 3
What the wind and the clouds say, what the wind and the clouds say
I was full grown before i knew, i had no strong male figure right On, and i was hurt and scared and shocked when lily scott left suddenly one night
they said and as every-ologist would certainly note
and all around her there was a natural sense
i became one more and i loved her from the absolute marrow of my bones
And i was hurt and scared and shocked when lily scott left suddenly one night, i had no strong male figure right Broken, as though she sensed what the stars say what the birds say
To a family that contradicts the concepts, and i came from a broken home
I want to make this a special tribute, and my grandfather had just left for heaven
I was full grown before i knew, to a family that contradicts the concepts
She knew more than books could teach, as though she sensed what the stars say what the birds say On, i want to make this a special tribute
i had no strong male figure right
she had more than the five senses
When my uncles was leaving, so i knew she had gone
I come from a broken home, what the wind and the clouds say
