Ur Soul And Mine Lyrics - We're New Here - Gil Scott-heron

Standing in the ruins 

Of another Black man's life, 

or flying through the valley 

separating day and night. 

"I am death," cried the Vulture, 

"For the people of the light." 

 

Charon brought his raft 

from the sea that sails on souls, 

And saw the scavenger departing, 

taking warm hearts to the cold. 

He knew the ghetto was the haven 

for the meanest creature ever known. 

 

In a wilderness of heartbreak 

and a desert of despair, 

Evil's carrion of justice 

shrieks a cry of naked terror. 

He's taking babies from their momas 

and leaving grief beyond compare. 

 

So if you see the Vulture coming, 

flying circles in your mind, 

Remember there is no escaping 

for he will follow close behind. 

Only promised me a battle, 

battle for your soul and mine.
