Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Uh, with your bad self
Say it louder (I'm Black
and I'm proud)
Say it louder (I'm Black
and I'm proud)

[Verse 2]
[G]Looky here
Some people say [Gm]we got a lot [G]of malice
Some say it's a lotta [Gm]nerve
[G]But I say we won't quit moving
Until we get what we deserve
We've been 'buked and we've
been scorned
We've been treated [Gm]bad,
talked about
As sure [G]as you're born
But just as sure as it take two [Gm]eyes to make [G]a pair,
huh
Brother, we can't quit until
we get [Gm]our share

[Verse 3]
[G]Say it loud (I'm Black and I'm proud)
Say it loud (I'm Black and I'm proud)
One more time,
say [Gm]it loud (I'm Black [G]and I'm proud)

[Verse 4]
I've worked on jobs with my
feet and my hands
But all the work I did
was for the other man
[Gm]And [G]now we demands a chance
To do things for ourselves
We're tired of beating our heads
against the wall

[Verse 5]
And working for someone else
[G]Say [Gm]it loud (I'm Black
[G]and I'm proud)
Say it loud (I'm Black
and I'm proud)
Say it loud (I'm Black
[Gm]and I'm [G]pro[Gm]ud)
[G]Say it loud (I'm Black
[C]and I'm proud)

[Verse 6]
Ow! Ooh-wee, you're [C]killing
me
Alright, uh, you're out of sight
Alright, so tough, you're tough enough
[G]Ooh-wee, uh,[C] uh, you're killing me, ow

[Verse 7]
Say it [G]loud (I'm Black and I'm proud)
Say it louder (I'm Black

[Verse 8]
and I'm proud)
[G]Now we demand a chance
to do things [Gm]for ourselves
We're tired of beating our [G]heads
against the wall
And working for someone [Gm]else[G]
Look here, there's one thing more
I got to say right here
Now, we're people,
[Gm]we're like the birds and t[G]he bees
And we'd rather die on [Gm]our feet than
keep living on [G]our knees

[Verse 9]
[G]Say it loud (I'm Black
[Gm]and [G]I'm [Gm]proud)
Say [G]it loud [Gm](I'm[G] Black
and I'm proud)
Say it loud (I'm Black
and I'm proud)
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy,
say it loud [Gm](I'm Black [G]and I'm [C]proud)
Ow!

Now we can say we
