Lyrics Gil Scott-Heron

Gil Scott-Heron

Parents (Interlude)

I believe that the spirits are your parents

And their parents and their parents and their parents

And they are in your bloodstream

And they run through your body constantly

Because they want you to live on

Because they want to live on

And they are trying all the time to tell you shit

And if you just spend a few minutes with yourself

You would hear them

(You would hear them

You would hear them)
