Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud (Part 1)

Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud (Part 1) - Funk

Uh

With your bad self

Say it loud

I'm black and I'm proud

Say it loud

I'm black and I'm proud

Look here

Some people say we've got a lot of malice

Some say it's a lot of nerve

But I say we won't quit moving until we get what we deserve

We have been 'buked and we have been scorned

We've been treated bad talked about as sure as you're born

But just as sure as it takes two eyes to make a pair

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

Say it loud

I'm black and I'm proud

I worked on jobs with my feet and my hands

But all the work I did was for the other man

Now we demand a chance to do things for ourselves

We're tired of beating our head 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

Ooh wee

Give it to me

All right

Out of sight

All night so tough

You're tough and rough

Ooh wee

You're killing me

Say it loud

I'm black and I'm proud

Say it loud

I'm black and I'm proud

We demand a chance to do things for ourselves

We're tired of beating our head against the wall

And working for someone else

Look at here

One thing more I got to say right here

We're people we like the birds and the bees

We'd rather die on our feet

Than be 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

Say it loud

I'm black and I'm proud

Alright now

Lord

You know we can do the boogaloo

Now we can say the Funky Broadway
