Lyrics I'm New Here - Gil Scott-Heron, Makaya McCraven

I'm New Here

I did not become someone different
I did not want to be
But I’m new here
Will you show me around?
No matter how far wrong you’ve gone
You can always turn around
Met a woman in a bar
Told her I was hard to get to know
And near impossible to forget
She said I had an ego on me
The size of Texas
Well, I’m new here, and I forget
Does that mean big or small?
No matter how far wrong you’ve gone
You can always turn around
And I’m shedding plates like a snake
And it may be crazy, but I’m the closest thing I have
To a voice of reason
Turn around, turn around, turn around
And you may come full circle
And be new here again
