[Verse 1: Styles P] (*Floetry)
|
(I'm Black!!!)Whether I'm poor or rich or rich or poor its all the same shit
|
(I'm Black!!!) Even though my skins kind of light
|
That mean my ancestors was raped by somebody white
|
(I'm Black!!!) So I like to sing, dance and crack jokes
|
Eat good food and be around black folks
|
(I'm Black!!!) So I like the oldies on Sundays
|
Drink all night and still go to work Monday
|
(I'm Black!!!) So I like my kids lookin real nice
|
Cause I been poor and I know what it feels like
|
(I'm Black!!!) And I'm a say it loud like James Brown
|
People be proud cause we all up in the game now
|
(I'm Black!!!) And I'm a hold my right fist real high
|
Might see my man and we might get real high
|
(I'm Black!!!) And I know it and I aint afraid to show it
|
(I'm Black!!!) And I'm a genius and a motherfuckin poet, you know it
|
(*Oh oh oooh oooh yeah!)
|
|
[Chorus: Floetry] (*Letters in CAPS mean Styles P & Floetry sing together)
|
So proud to be just who I am (So proud to say that I'm me)
|
So proud to be just who I am (So proud to be so free)
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) So proud to say that I made it
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) Through all of the struggle and the hatred
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) And I'm not afraid to say it
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) I'm black, over and over, say it again, yeah
|
|
[Verse 2: Styles P] (*Floetry)
|
(I'm Black!!!) So I got a heart full of bravery
|
Do it for my peoples that went through slavery
|
(I'm Black!!!) So you know Im young good in sports
|
Ninety percent chance I get hung in the court
|
(I'm Black!!!) Don't you be scared of me Mister
|
Cause you dont really seemed to be scared of my sister
|
(I'm Black!!!) And I could ride first class too
|
Or buy an exotic car and might mirk pass you
|
(I'm Black!!!) And I dont need a tan in the winter
|
Mind strong and powerful non-cipher cant enter
|
(I'm Black!!!) And I dont need jewelry to shine
|
Look at my skin color its like the jewelry is blind
|
(I'm Black!!!) They focus on the negative attention
|
Do something positive it never get mentioned
|
(I'm Black!!!) Listen its a fact
|
Original man that wouldnt change it if I could and thats that
|
(*Oh oh oooh oooh yeah!)
|

|
So proud to be just who I am (So proud to say that I'm me)
|
So proud to be just who I am (So proud to be so free)
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) So proud to say that I made it
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) Through all of the struggle and the hatred
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) And I'm not afraid to say it
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) I'm black, I'm black, oh, yeah yeah!
|
|
[Verse 3: Styles P] (*Floetry)
|
(I'm Black!!!) Even with a caramel complexion
|
Look in the mirror see Malcolm and Martin in reflection
|
(I'm Black!!!) Just like the Panthers lookin for an answer
|
This prejudice shit is like cancer
|
(I'm Black!!!) Look at my eyes the wool cant get pulled over
|
Look at my cars they stay gettin pulled over
|
(I'm Black!!!) Meanin Public Enemy's number one
|
Government lookin in the hood sendin in the guns
|
(I'm Black!!!) I grew up off The Good Times show
|
Drink liquor and some weed let the good times roll
|
(I'm Black!!!) I live for my wife and my seeds
|
And my mind with a find only God could exceed
|
(I'm Black!!!) I got to show my homeboys love
|
First thing we learned in the hood was homeboy love
|
(I'm Black!!!) And I'm that if I aint nothin else
|
(I'm Black!!!) I'm beautiful I love myself
|
(*Love myself, oooh oooh oooh yeah!)
|
|
[Chorus: Floetry] (*Letters in CAPS mean Styles P & Floetry sing together)
|
So proud to be just who I am (So proud to say that I'm me)
|
So proud to be just who I am (So proud to be so free)
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) So proud to say that I made it
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) Through all of the struggle and the hatred
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) And I'm not afraid to say it
|
(I'M BLACK!!!) I'm black, I'm black, yeah.
