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
