Proud

I'm so proud
Whole world wanna be me now
I'm so proud
That god chose to paint me brown
I'm so proud
Wish my ancestors could see me now
I'm so proud
That god chose to paint me brown

On my James Brown ish
Proud like Oscar, Penny
Trade black for the world
Then i guess the world ending
Wonder how got here, in this current position
Where the black children think they nigga cause of they complexion
Quite complex but in this song i'ma help you catch it
Break it down why you should be proud to be your complexion
Others tan so best believe that they fans
When you looking in that mirror you should be your biggest fan
Yo my brother know you King
Yo my sister know you Queen
You come from royalty survived everything
Your ancestors dreams least you can do is go and follow yours
Black and proud gone and scream it from your lungs

I'm so proud
Whole world wanna be me now
I'm so proud
That god chose to paint me brown
I'm so proud
Wish my ancestors could see me now
I'm so proud
That god chose to paint me brown

Tell me, what's next for my people
Gave you this album because my people was whom i wanted to speak to
Something you can reference for your greatness
Something you can play back for the babies
Gave you 808s and added message
Gave a lot of love a little flexing
Duality is such a blessing
They gone wonder how i crept in won the souls of all my fellow black men
While cherishing the black woman
Black love i stan
Black freedoms the plan flowers to the ancestors who done proved we can
Making this album made me more of a man
So to you i give this classic gone play it again

I'm so proud
Whole world wanna be me now
I'm so proud
That god chose to paint me brown
I'm so proud
Wish my ancestors could see me now
I'm so proud
That god chose to paint me brown
