i am yesterday man


I am yesterday man
I lived through the years
I saw raining icing stones
I caught the fireflies

I am yesterday man
Lived in villages
Never understood why
Listening to chirping birds

They brought me back alive
I flew kites in the roundabout
The motor vehicles passing by
No driver paid a look or said why

The gangs stood around
They weren't afraid of the blues
I am yesterday man
I saw them packed into Black Maria

I am yesterday man
I saw police brutality
But the village elders said
The gangs deserved it

I am yesterday man
Learned the rope jumped the high
But nothing stayed forever
I know it will come down later
