Uh! With your bad self! 

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 bucked and we have been scorned 
We have been treated bad, talked about as just bones 
But just as it takes two eyes to make a pair, ha 
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! 

I worked on jobs with my feet and my hand
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 beatin' our head against the wall 
And workin' 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 

We're people, we're just like the birds and the bees 
We'd rather die on our feet 
Than be livin' on our knees 

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
