Inspiring my life friends never forgotten
DO do do DO do Ohhh!
School’s unforgettable, We are unforgettable
We all matter and we’ll never forget them

Verse 2 (The Losers Club)
Like a baby blanket we all had when we were young
Bindin’ and Blue, Bind memories unforgettable
For the unforgettable
Who make the world possible
Who shines the light for the world to see
A brighter future for you and me
Verse 3 (The Supremes)
The memory, that you’ll never forget
The time of year, grandma bought me a gift
So Cool… that I jumped into space
So excited I had a smile on my face
I’m lost in time
I can’t see
Sometimes blind
I dig deep in my mind
I found some treasure…
It’s all mine
But I’m gonna share
Cause it’s good to be kind
Verse 4 (Pigs Drive Toyotas)
We like to travel everywhere
New York, Iowa, Oregon. Yeah!
We like to travel everywhere,
In the USA———-
We like to travel everywhere
We want to see our nation yeah!
We like to travel everywhere
In the USA———-
Chorus
Hold that Experience
Like Old Friends and Family
Moments that they stick with us
They passed with us
They last with us

About the Book
The Undefeated
By Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson
Originally performed for ESPN’s The Undefeated, this poem is a love letter to black life in the United States. It highlights the unspeakable trauma of slavery, the faith and fire of the civil rights movement, and the grit, passion, and perseverance of some of the world’s greatest heroes. The text is also peppered with references to the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and others, offering deeper insights into the accomplishments of the past, while bringing stark attention to the endurance and spirit of those surviving and thriving in the present. Robust back matter at the end provides valuable historical context and additional detail for those wishing to learn more.
The Newbery Award-winning author of THE CROSSOVER pens an ode to black American triumph and tribulation, with art from a two-time Caldecott Honoree.
