I remember it
Like it was yesterday
RPGs, looking featherweight
These kids did not come to play
As my body shakes
I feel my history
I'm terrified
Burned cities and my mother's cries
Come back alive
No tears in their violence
Eerie fear in the silence
I remember it
Like it was yesterday
AK‑40 pointed at my face
These kids came to celebrate
Snakish grins got 'em
Ooh, looking devilish
I'm naked like a candlelight
Said a prayer and closed my eyes
Get home alive
History, repeated fate
Childhood, under a blaze
Black skin turning red
What the fucked up your head
Grown-ups stayed in bed
Emotionally, I've digressed
I see resemblance, scorn
We are far from home
I hope we come back alive
I hope we come back alive
I hope we come back alive
I remember it
Like it was yesterday
