| I’m Black)
|
| Whether I’m poor or rich, or rich or poor
|
| Though its all the same shit
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| Even though my skin’s kind of light
|
| That means my ancestors was raped by somebody white
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| So I like to sing dance and crack jokes
|
| Eat good food and be around black folks
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| Sort of like the Holys on Sundays
|
| Drink all night and still go to work monday
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| So I like the kids looking real nice
|
| Cuz I’ve been poor and I know what it feels like
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| And I’mma say it loud like James Brown
|
| People be proud cuz we all up in the game now
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| And I’mma hold my right fist real high
|
| Might see my man and we might get real high
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| And I know it, and I ain’t afraid to show it
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| And I’m a genius and a motherfuckin poet
|
| You know it
|
| (Ohh Ohhh)
|
| Chorus (Floetry)
|
| So proud to be just who I’am
|
| So proud to say that I’m me…
|
| So proud to be just who I’am
|
| So proud to be so free
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| So proud to say that I made it
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| The one who struggled in the hatred
|

| Nintey percent chanced I get hunged in the Court
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| Don’t you be scared of me Mister

|
| And I can ride first class too
|
| Or buy an exotic car and like murk past you
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| And I don’t need a tan in the winter
|
| Mind strong and powerful not a I cypher can’t enter
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| And I don’t need jewelry to shine
|
| Look in my skin color is like the jewelry is blind
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| They focus on the negative attention
|
| Do something positive, and never get mentioned
|
| (I'm Black)
|
| Listen it’s a fact, original man
|
| I wouldn’t change it if I could and thats that
