Testo Say It Loud - I'm Black And I'm Proud - James Brown
Testo della canzone Say It Loud - I'm Black And I'm Proud (James Brown), tratta dall'album Cold Sweat & Other Soul Classics: James Brown
Uh!
Watch your bad self
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Say it louder (I'm black and I'm proud)
Look a-here
Some people say we got a lot of malice
Some say it's a lotta nerve
But I say we won't quit movin'
Until we get what we deserve
We've been 'buked, and we've been scorned
We've been treated bad, talked about as sure as you're born
But just as sure as it take two eyes to make a pair, huh!
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), huh
I've worked on jobs with my feet and my hands
But all the work I did was for the other man
And now we demands a chance to do things for ourselves
We tired of beatin' our head against the wall
An' 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)
Ooh
Ooh-wee, you're killin' me
Alright, uh, you're out of sight
Alright, so tough, you're tough enough
Ooh-wee, uh, you're killin' me
Ooh!
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Say it louder (I'm black and I'm proud)
Now, we demand a chance to do things for ourselves
We're tired of beatin' our heads against the wall
And workin' for someone else
Look-a here, there's one thing more I got to say right here
Now, now we're people, we're like the birds and the bees
We'd rather die on our feet than keep livin' on our knees
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud), huh!
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud), huh!
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud), Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Ooh!
Uh!
Alright now, good God
You know we can do the boogaloo
Now, we can say we do the funky part
Now we do, huh
Sometimes we dance, we sing, and we talk
You know I do back, I do the camel walk
Alright now, huh, alright
Alright now, huh
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud), let me hear ya, yeah
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Now we're the men of chance and do thing for ourself
We're tired of beating our heads against the wall
And working for someone else, huh
You know, we are people too, we're like birds and the bees
But 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), let me hear ya, huh
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud), huh
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Ooh!
Ooh-wee, you're killing me
Alright, huh, out of sight
Alright, you outta sight
Ooh-wee, ooh no!
Ooh-wee, you're killing me
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee
Ooh-wee, ooh-oh
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud), huh
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud), God, I can feel it
Say it loud, huh (I'm black and I'm proud)
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
