BACK TO FRONT

BACK TO FRONT



Yesterday you’re a king

Today an urchin

Yesterday, kingdom you owned and slaves

Today nothing but humiliation

Yesterday your dignity scudded like cloud

Today is trampled heavily down

Yesterday your words were so expensive

Today’re marked down like an old shirt

Yesterday you are praised and loved

Today you receive hate like devil

Yesterday your wife’s preserved like pearls

Today so exposed like a street light

Yesterday you ascend over them all

Today you descend like a water fall

Yesterday my tribe is different from yours

Today Nigerians merge the tribes together

I am Fulani you are the other

You know yourself please take correction

By returning to your good etiquette

Of yesterday O! My Bahaushe
