Uh, with your bad self 
Say it louder (I got a mouth) 
Say it louder (I got a mouth) 

Look a'here, some people say we got a lot of malice 
Some say it's a lotta nerve 
I say we won't quit moving 
Til we get what we deserve 
We've been buked and we've been scorned 
We've been treated bad, talked about 
As just 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 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,

Alright uh, you're out of sight 
Alright, so tough, you're tough enough 
Ooowee uh, you're killing me, oow 

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 tired of beating our heads against the wall 
And working for someone else 
A look a'here, 
One thing more I got to say right here 
Now, we're people like the birds and the bees 
We rather die on our feet, 
Than keep living on our knees 

Say it loud, 
I'm black and I'm proud, hu 
Say it loud, 
I'm black and I'm proud, hu 
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, ooooh 

Uh, alright now, good Lord 
You know we can do the boog-a-loo 
Now we can say we do the Funky Broadway! 
Now we can do, hu 
Sometimes we dance, we sing and we talk 
You know I do like to do the camel walk 
Alright now, hu 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,

Say it louder,

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, hu

But we'd rather die on our feet, 
Than keep a'living on our knees
