Say it loud:" I'm black and I'm proud."

Some people say we got a lot of malice,
some say it's a lot of nerve.
But I say we don'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 it takes two eyes to make a pair.
Brother we can't quit until we get our share.

Say it loud....

I've worked on jobs with my feet and my hands,
but all that 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....

Ooh-ee, you're killing me.
Alright, you're out of sight.
Alright, so tough, you're tough enough.

Say it loud.....

We're people, we're like the birds and the bees.
But we'd rather die on our feet
than keep living on our knees.

Say it loud....
