Gil Scott-Heron - Alluswe Lyrics






Like the weight he's got to ride on
On the scene he must came in
Like the answers to every question
That's what he needs - They'd understand
Black man come down
And sit beside us
You can share all that we have

And like the stage he's got t play on
Like the road he's pinning down
Life attacts him just like a magnet
Or was that the other way around
Black man come down
Come on down and sit beside us
You are welcomed to all we own

Upside the walls and in the corners
Of the rooms where we live
Love is stronger with every heartbeat
And this love we gladly give
Just come on down
And sit beside us
Can your mind believe your heart
Black man come down
Yea, come on down, down

    Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - “Alluswe”
    [Vocals/Written By: Gil Scott-Heron]
    [Producer/Piano: Brian Jackson]
    [Bass: Danny Bowens]
    [Traps: Bob Adams]

    [Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron]
    Like the waves, he's got to ride on
    On the scene, he must come in
    Like the answers to every question
    That's what he need understand
    Black man, come down
    And sit beside us
    You can share all that we have

    [Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron]
    And like the stage he's got to play on
    Life is a road, and he's pinning down
    Life attracts him just like a magnet
    Or was that, or was that the other way around?
    Black man, come down
    Come on down and sit beside us
    You are welcome to all we own

    [Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron]
    Upside the walls and in the corners
    Of the rooms where we live
    Love is stronger with every heartbeat
    And this love we gladly give
    Just come on down
    And sit beside us
    Can your mind believe your heart?
    Black man, come down
    Yeah, come on down
    Come down

    I really wish people would leave this sort of music alone, and stop "sampling" it. Make your own music. Stop riding on the coat tails. 

  5. 5.... ....

    I love this song.  Gone far too soon. RIP 

  6. f.... ....

    No brother...you play "at" music....you are not a musician...

  7. f.... ....

    I make music son and I don't have to steal other people's music and then try to call it my own...Sampling does nothing for our music so try to actually play some music ...then get back to me....

  8. D.... M....

    Critics criticize because they can't produce.Instead of downing a genre that people do listen to why not make some beautiful music if you can?

  9. f.... ....

    Why not cresate your own music and your message instead of pimping Gil and other great musicians...

  10. f.... ....

    It can out sounding like hip hop watered down bullshit...leave real music to real musicians....

  11. H.... J....

    I love the music, and the message, and the feeling, and how Gil embraces our people in this song.

  12. D.... M....

    Mike Zoot sampled it and it came out pretty nice so there.

  13. C.... B....

    @Liyatastic95 Unfortunately, some people are close minded, which is terrible seeing as Gil is and was such an inspiration to us hip hop fans. I'm gonna make a rendition of this and I will send it to you.

  14. R.... b....

    R.I.P-GODFATHER of RAP-

  15. f.... ....

    RIP brother Gil.......we will miss you...

  16. 5.... ....

    RIP beautiful spirit.

  17. f.... ....

    @Liyatastic95 I rather not have a rap group redo it because that will just mess the music up ...

  18. r.... z....

    wants my iner being to return. I long for the days that my mother cooked with salt jowl (anybody remember?) .. and the goverment cheeze......that song reminds me when I was too poor to watch ali vrs frasier 1. I long for those days.. thank u free2339.

  19. r.... ....

    LOVE this song on this album. Brian & Gil just KNOW KNOW KNOW how to make fantastic music together. See, this is one person who may not have the voice for opera or gospel, but who's soul, style, creativity surpasses that expectation. Almost all my other inspirations are like that too (Shuggie Otis, Fela Kuti to name a few.)

    Gil WE LOVE YOU. Can't wait 'til my hero's new album comes out! (In February!!! I believe it'll be called "I'm New Here".)
