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
|

|
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!

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!

|
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 bailin' 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!!

|
There was a man - an inventor - who invented so well
|
He invented a fortune - for a man named Bell
|
George Washington Carver, made the peanuts 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!
