Uh, with your bad self 
 Say it louder (I got a mouth) 
 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, oowee

 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,

 Uh, alright now, good Lord 
 You know we can do the boog-a-loo 
 Now we can say we do the Funky Broadway! 
 Now we can do, hu 
 Sometimes we dance, we sing and we talk 
 You know I do like to do the camel walk 
 Alright now, hu alright, 
 Alright now, ha 


 Say it loud, 
 I'm black and I'm proud 
 Say it louder,
