Proud
Don't let anybody take your manhood
Be proud of our heritage
As somebody said earlier tonight, we don't have anything to be ashamed of
Somebody told a lie one day
They couched it in language
They made everything black ugly and evil
Look in your dictionary and see the synonyms of the word black
It's always something degrading, low and sinister
Look at the word white. It's always something pure, high, clean
Well I want to get the language right tonight
I want to get the language so right that everybody here will cry out
YES! I'M BLACK. I'M PROUD OF IT I'M BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL
The black skin is not a badge of shame but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness, Marcus Garvey
Yea
Had to do it for the people
Its the Prequel
Rap will never be the same
Its time to change the game
Yea Double X
Black shoes, Black suit
Black shades, Black coupe
Black pain, Black Maine
The motherhood, Black roots
Black girls, Black queens
Black balled, Black schemes
Black Mom, Black dad
Black boys, Black Kings
Black owned, Black out
Black homes, Black house
Pockets full of blue hundreds
But Black cards don't max out
Fab 5, Black tie
Black pride, Black wives
You wanna know what matters, Show respect when I say Black lives
First they killers, Black whales
Snitching That's a rat tail
Police was gon' hold something against him, That's some Black mail
Black swan, Black dawn
Black pawns, Black strong
Secrets like the wade in the water, That's a Black psalm
Black way, To Black street
Black groups, Where Black meet
Sitting in the front of the bus, And not the back seats
We Black now, Was Black then
Ain't much changed since back then
Cept we idolize our melanin, Black skin
Black gangs, Black slang
Gold carrots, Black chains
Put a Black man In office, That's some Black change
Black coffee, With Black ice
I'm extra Black, That's Black twice
Black Death, And Black life
My Black voice, My Black rights
I'm with the Black team, That's evident
Our Black dreams, That's heaven sent
Hope you get these, Black messages
Cus Black power is, Black excellence
Be proud of our heritage
As somebody said earlier tonight, we don't have anything to be ashamed of
Somebody told a lie one day
They couched it in language
They made everything black ugly and evil
Look in your dictionary and see the synonyms of the word black
It's always something degrading, low and sinister
Look at the word white. It's always something pure, high, clean
Well I want to get the language right tonight
I want to get the language so right that everybody here will cry out
YES! I'M BLACK. I'M PROUD OF IT I'M BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL
