Say It Loud：Im Black And Im Proud - James Brown
Uh with your bad self
Say it louder (I got a mouth)
Say it louder
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
