Call me a fool
I've been called worse
Buddy guy remembers
The pain that always hurts

You can tell me
Slavery days are gone
But it don't erase
Years and years of wrong

I don't forget my people's history
I still got scars across my memory
I don't forget the things I've seen
Stays in my head I don't forget

At the swimming pool
We weren't allowed
Some folks afraid
We'd turn 'em black somehow

Ugly words
On the door
Saying we weren't wanted
Don't come back no more

I don't forget my people's history
I still got scars across my memory
I don't forget the things I've seen
Stays in my head I don't forget

I saw the sign
On the restroom door
Had to piss outside
Out behind the store

I don't forget
I can't forget

I don't forget
