Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
Do you remember the days of slavery?
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
Do you remember the days of slavery?
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
[Verse 2]
And they beat us
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
And how they worked us so hard
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
And they used us
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
Till they refuse us
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
[Verse 3]
Do you remember the days of slavery?
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
[Verse 4]
The big fat bull
We usually pull it with pulley
We must pull it
With shackles around our necks
And I can see it all no more
[Verse 5]
Do you remember the days of slavery?
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
[Verse 6]
My brother feels it
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
Including my sisters too
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
Some of us survive
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
Showing them that we are still alive
(Do you remember the days of slavery?)
[Verse 7]
Do you remember the days of slavery?
(Do you remember the days of slavery)
[Verse 8]
History can recall
History can recall
(Do you remember the days of slavery)
History can recall the days of slavery
(Do you remember the days of slavery)
Oh, slavery days
(Do you remember the days of slavery)
Oh, slavery days
(Do you remember the days of slavery)
[Verse 9]
While I remember
Please remember
(Do you remember the days of slavery)
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
(Do you remember the days of slavery)
Oh, slavery days
(Do you remember the days of slavery)
Oh, slavery days
(Do you remember the days of slavery)
