With your bad self! [Chorus] Say it loud: I’m black and I’m proud! Say it loud: I’m black and I’m proud! [Verse 1] 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 ha Brother we can’t quit until we get our share [Chorus] 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! [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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! [Bridge]   Ooh-wee give it to me All right you’re out of sight All night so tough You’re tough and rough Ooh-wee uh you’re killing me [Chorus] Say it loud: I’m black and I’m proud! Say it loud: I’m black and I’m proud! [Verse 3] We demand a chance to do things for ourselves We’re tired of beating our head against the wall And working for someone else We’re people we like the birds and the bees We’d rather die on our feet Than be living on our knees [Chorus] 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! [Bridge 2]   All right now good God You know we can do the boogaloo Now we can say with the funky talk and we do Sometimes we sing and we talk You know we jump back and do the camel walk All right now all right All right [Chorus] 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! [Verse 4] We demand a chance to do things for ourselves We’re tired of beating our head against the wall And working for someone else We’re people we like the birds and the bees We’d rather die on our feet Than keep living on our knees [Chorus] 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! [Bridge 3]   Ooh-wee you’re killing me All right you’re out of sight All right you’re out of sight Ooh-wee ah Ooh-wee you’re killing me Ooh-wee ooh-wee ooh-wee [Chorus] Say it loud: I’m black and I’m proud!
