James Brown lyrics : "Say It Loud ? I'm Black and I'm Proud"

Uh! With your bad self!

[Hook]

Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!



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


[Hook]

[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


[Hook]

[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


[Hook]

[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


[Verse 4]
We're people, we like the birds and the bees

We'd rather die on our feet
Than be living on our knees


[Hook]

[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

[Hook]



[Hook]


[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


[Hook]
