paroles de chanson Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud - James Brown

Uh! With your bad self
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Say it loud (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 moving
Until we get what we deserve
We've been buked and we've been scourned
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)

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 beating our heads against the wall
And working 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)

Oowee! You're killing me
Alright! Uh! You're out of sight
Alright! So tough, you're tough enough
Oowee! Uh! You're killing me, ow!

Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Say it louder (I'm black and I'm proud)

Now, we demands a chance to do things for ourselves
We tired of beating our heads against the wall
And working for someone else
Look a'here, there's one more thing I got to say right here
Now, we're people
We're like the 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)
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Lord'a, Lord'a, Lord'a
Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)

Uh! Alright now! Lord!
You know we can do the Boogaloo
Now we can say we do the Funky Broadway
Now we do
Sometimes we dance, we sing, and we talk
You know I do like to do the Camel Walk
Alright now, alright
Alright now, ha

Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Say it louder (I'm black and I'm proud)
Let me hear ya
Say it louder (I'm black and I'm proud)
Say it louder (I'm black and I'm proud)

Now we's demands a chance to do things for ourselves
We're tired of beating our heads against the wall
And working for someone else
You know, we are our people, too
We're like the birds and the bees
But we'd rather die on our feet
Than keep livin' on our knees

Say it loud (I'm black and I'm proud)
Say it louder (I'm black and I'm proud)
Let me hear ya
