Say It Loud - I'm Black And I'm Proud |
Look a’here, some people say we got a lot of malice |
Some say it’s a lotta nerve |
I say we won’t quit moving |
Til we get what we deserve |
We’ve been buked and we’ve been scourned |
We’ve been treated bad, talked about |
As just as sure as you’re born |
But just as sure as it take |
Two eyes to make a pair, huh |
Brother, we can’t quit until we get our share |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud, one more time |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud, huh |
I’ve worked on jobs with my feet and my hands |
But all the work I did was for the other man |
And now we demands a chance |
To do things for ourselves |
we tired of beating our heads against the wall |
And working for someone else |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud, oowee |
Ooowee, ou’re killing me |
Alright uh, you’re out of sight |
Alright, so tough, you’re tough enough |
Ooowee uh, you’re killing me, oow |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud |
Say it louder, |
I’m black and I’m proud |
Now we demand a chance to do things for ourselves |
We tired of beating our heads against the wall |
And working for someone else |
A look a’here, |
One thing more I got to say right here |
Now, we’re people like the birds and the bees |
We rather die on our feet, |
Than keep living on our knees |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud, hu |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud, hu |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud, Lord’a Lord’a Lord’a |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud, ooooh |
Uh, alright now, good Lord |
You know we can do the boog-a-loo |
Now we can say we do the Funky Broadway! |
Now we can do, hu |
Sometimes we dance, we sing and we talk |
You know I do like to do the camel walk |
Alright now, hu alright, |
Alright now, ha |
Say it loud, |
I’m black and I’m proud |
Say it louder, |
I’m black and I’m proud, let me hear ya |
Say it louder, |
I’m black and I’m proud |
Say it louder, |
I’m black and I’m proud |
Now we’s demands a chance to do things for ourselves |
We’re tired of beating our heads against the wall |
And working for someone else, hu |
Now we’re our people, too |
We’re like the birds and the bees, |
But we’d rather die on our feet, |
Than keep a’living on our knees |
