I'm Black And I'm Proud - Say It Loud (Carl Cox Remix) Lyrics

Put your hands up!

Some people say we got a lot of malice, some say it's a lot of love
But I say we won't quit moving until we get what we deserve
We've been beaten and we've been scorned
We've been treated bad, talked about and sure you moan
But just as sure as it takes two eyes to make a pair
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)
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)

Ooh wee, you're killing me
Alright, out of sight
Alright, so tough, you're tough enough
Ooh wee, oh no!
Ooh wee, you're killing me
Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh, ow!
Say it loud!
Alright now, Lord

You know we can do the boogaloo
And we can dance to the funky part
Now we do, sometimes dance and swing in the dark
You know I jump back and do the camel walk
Alright now, alright, alright now

Ooh wee, you're killing me
Alright, out of sight
Alright, out of sight
Ooh wee, oh no!
Ooh wee, you're killing me
Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh wee, say it loud!

I worked on jobs with my feet and my hands
You know all the work I did was for the other man
But now we demands a chance to do things for ourselves
We're tired of beating our head against
The wall and working for someone else
Now we're a people, we like the birds and the bees
We'd rather die on our feet than keep living 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)
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)
