Proud To Be Black Lyrics

    [run]
    You know i'm proud to be black y'all
    And that's a fact y'all
    And if you try to take what's mine
    I take it back y'all - it's like that

    Licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-
    Listen party people here's a serious song
    It's right not wrong, i should say right on
    I gotta tell you somethin that you all should know
    It's not a mystery it's history and here's how it go
    Now hariett tubman, was born a slave
    She was a tiny black woman, when she was raised
    She was livin to be givin there's a lot that she gave
    There's not a slave, in this day and age
    I'm proud to be

    [d.m.c.]
    Black, god damn, i'm tired my man
    Don't worry bout what color i am
    Because i'll show you how ill, this man can act
    It could never be fiction cause it is all fact
    And if you get in my way, i will not turn back
    I'm proud of my name, my name is darryl mack
    I'm black and i'm proud, and i'll say it out loud
    I'll share my story with the whole crowd, auuughh!

    [run-d.m.c.]
    You know i'm proud to be black y'all
    And that's a fact y'all
    And if you try to take what's mine
    I take it back y'all - it's like that

    [run]
    Dj run, and i run these things
    You can hear it loud and clear like when the schoolbell rings
    Like martin luther king, i will do my thing
    I'll say it in a rap cause i do not sing

    [d.m.c.]
    D.m.c., the man, that's causin the beef
    I got a message for the world so listen up it's brief
    Like malcolm x said i won't turn the right cheek
    Got the strength to go the length, if you wanna start beef
    Start beef!

    [run-d.m.c.]
    You know i'm proud to be black y'all
    And real brave y'all
    And motherfucker i could never be a slave y'all
    So take that!!

    [run]
    We're gonna tell ya somethin put your mind in a swirl
    God bless the next baby that comes in this world
    The world's full of hate discrimination and sin
    People judgin other people by the color of skin
    I'll attack this matter, in my own way
    Man, i ain't no slave, i ain't reelin no hay
    Written a deposition, in any condition
    Don't get in my way cause i'm full of ambition
    I'm proud to be black (and i ain't takin no crap)
    I'm fresh out the pack (and i'm proud to be black)
    So take that!!

    [run-d.m.c.]
    There was a man - an inventor - who invented so well
    He invented a fortune - for a man named bell
    George washington carver, made the peanut great
    Showed any man with a mind, could create
    You read about malcolm x - in the history text
    Jesse owens broke records, ali broke necks
    What's wrong with ya man? how can you be so dumb?
    Like dr. king said, we shall overcome!
