Gil Scott-Heron

Gilbert "Gil" Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011) was an American soul and jazz poet, musician, and author, known primarily for his work as a spoken word performer in the 1970s and '80s. His collaborative efforts with musician Brian Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues, and soul, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. His own term for himself was "bluesologist", which he defined as "a scientist who is concerned with the origin of the blues." His music, most notably on Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul. more »

I'm gonna take myself a piece of sunshine 
And paint it all over my sky 
Be no rain
Be no rain

I'm gonna take the song from every bird 
And make em sing it just for me 
Bird's got something to teach us all 
About bein' free, yeah 
Be no rain
Be no rain

And I think I'll call it morning 
From now on 
Why should I survive on sadness 
And tell myself I got to be alone 
Why should I subscribe to this world's madness 
Knowing that I've got to live on ( 3 times) 
Yeah I think I'll call it morning 
From now on 

I'm gonna take myself a piece of sunshine 
And paint it all over my sky 
Be no rain
Be no rain

I'm gonna take the song from every bird 
And make em sing it just for me 
Cause why should I hang my head 
Why should I let tears fall from my eyes 
When I've seen everything there is to see 
And I know there is no sense in crying 
I know there ain't no sense in cryin' 
Yeah I think I'll call it morning 
From now on 
I'll call it morning from now on, yeah 

Cause there ain't gonna be no rain 
Be no rain 
Be no rain 
From now on
