Gil Scott-Heron, Makaya McCraven - The Crutch(2020)

[00:36.67] A world of lonely men and no love, no god

[01:16.57] And none of us can truly aid his search
[01:21.56] We sit outside and sing cliches, the fool
[01:26.49] It's always easy to forecast other's doom

[01:35.93] Has reared it's ugly head and staked its claim
[01:41.46] Call Yama, here sits one more soul
[01:46.30] That he will have to add to sorrows toll

[02:26.01]
