Gil Scott-Heron & Makaya McCraven – I'm New Here lyrics
[Intro]
I did not become someone different
That I did not want to be
But I'm new here
Will you show me around?

[Chorus]
No matter how far wrong you've gone
You can always turn around

No matter how far wrong you've gone
You can always turn around

[Verse 1]
Met a woman in a bar
Told her I was hard to get to know
And near 'bout impossible to forget
See, I had an ego on me
The size of Texas
Well, I'm new here and I forget
Does that mean big or small?

[Chorus]
No matter how far wrong you've gone
You can always turn around

No matter how far wrong you've gone
You can always turn around

[Verse 2]
And I'm shedding plates like a snake
It may be crazy
But I'm the closest thing I have
To a voice of reason

[Bridge]
Turn around, turn around, turn around
And you may come full circle
And be new here again

Turn around, turn around, turn around
And you may come full circle
And be new here again
