Lyrics
Uh, with your bad self Say it louder (I'm Black and I'm proud) Say it louder (I'm Black and I'm proud) Looky here Some people say we got a lot of malice Some say it's a lotta nerve But I say we won't quit moving Until we get what we deserve We've been 'buked and we've been scorned We've been treated bad, talked about 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) 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're 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) Ow! Ooh-wee, you're killing me Alright, uh, you're out of sight Alright, so tough, you're tough enough Ooh-wee, uh, you're killing me, ow 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're tired of beating our heads against the wall And working for someone else Look here, there's one thing more I got to say right here Now, we're people, we like the birds and the bees And we'd rather die on our feet than keep living on our knees 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) Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, say it loud (I'm Black and I'm proud) Ow!
