Gil Scott-Heron - Push Comes To Shove lyrics

Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of Ain't nobody seen you Can nobody scold you Can nobody blame you, And make you feel bad Nobody should tie you Tell you I told you Nobody should ride you, About the commitments you had. Cuz they done learned you And they done burned you Showed you idealistic is all you were Everybody gotta realize That we all had to compromise Had to put on suit and ties When push came to shove (it's seems like) Push comes to shove once in your lifetime (yes and) Push comes to shove to find out just what's on your mind Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of Nobody can know Nobody should tease you Not try to disown you (bizown?) And make you feel strange Nobody got to explain Ain't nothing really to explain Everything that rearrange--- (?) and the weather can change (?) But they done taught you Cuz they done caught you Showed you unrealistic is all you was So everybody once believed Was only showing how naive Gotta give up to be free When push came to shove. Push comes to shove once in your lifetime (yes and) Push comes to shove to find out just what's on your mind Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of Well, everybody knew somehow we was somehow running late And with the captains overboard, who was handling a ship of fate? And all we knew was what we really did not know And that's when push was sure 'nough coming to shove Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of... Cuz they done learned you And they done burned you Showed you idealistic is all you was Everybody gotta realize That we all had to compromise Had to put on suit and ties When push came to shove Push comes to shove once in your lifetime (yes and) Push comes to shove to find out just what's on your mind Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of
