Proud


Hey what up?
Hey what up?
Hey what up?
Hey what up?
Hey what up?
Hey what up?
Hey what up?
Hey what up?

What about the life of us Marcus Garvey we are no Martins
Wouldn't have your light, wasn't for my darkness
Blacker than the panther
On the jacket of Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale
Few of us rise still
We built this country on the blood and sweat
Teardrops and pick cotton and more we stepped
Mama Harriet Tubman was a woman so real
Only woman in history with her face on the bill
Besides Hillary Clinton who will speak of America?
Original man, that they freed us in Syria
I put that on the solar net
Turn up the memory that's ajournin'
And others no longer with us I'm admittin'

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

Doctor Clarence 13
X was a hero to me
Felt like a five-percenter was the thing to be
In the wild, wild West I feel crazily East
And they on the speakers, MJs on my feet
Before Mike and Mayweather came Mohammed Ali
Only difference between 'em, he bit it with dignity
Doctor Carter G. Woodson fathered black history
Doctor Vivien Thomas, the first heart surgery
Why me? Tall Ray used to be
Stokely Carmicheal, bag, Miriam Makeba
Definitely was a leader in his own right, Makeba was a diva
In her own light before, y'all takin' Mary Jay Ashansi
Brandi, Keyshia Cole, Lauren Hill if we speakin' soul
I fell in love with TLC when I was three years old
Angela Davis belled out by the brethren
It was about community, wasn't about complexion
Alaysha in from far, they was writin' for our law
Pictures of Bob Marley and Selassie on my wall
To the day they freed Maria, Max B and Bobby Shmurda
We all all proud, it been hit since the sack

Black and I'm proud
Say it loud, say it loud
I'm black and I'm proud
Say it loud, say it loud

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
