Lyrics Intro to a Legend In His Own Mind (Live 1983) - Gil Scott-Heron

We did an album called "Realize" a couple years ago

And one of the songs was about someone who may well be with us this evening

You need not raise your hand, your friends will identify you

If you've ever been somewhere where there was always a person

Who had a better story to tell when than the one you was tellin'

No matter how long you worked on your story

To make sure that once you told this story, book was closed, no more stories

Soon as you get through with your great story

This other guy's saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, but check this out, check this out"

Story generally concerns his success with the ladies

His alleged, I love alleged

Clarifies a great deal

His alleged success with the ladies

To hear him tell it, he is undefeated

Napolean, ever the conquest

We'd like to tell you a song about somebody who may well being lying to themselves

The song is called: "A Legend in His Own Mind"
