Say It Loud - I'm Black And I'm Proud (Pt. 1)

Uh with your bad self

Say it louder (I got a mouth)

Say it louder (I got a mouth)

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
