Day at the soccer fields

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 cеlebrate

Snakish grins got 'em

Ooh, looking dеvilish

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
