Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh yeah, yeah
[Instrumental]
Black is the colour of my skin
Black is the life that I live
And I'm so proud to be
The colour that God made me
And I've just got to say
[Chorus]
Black is my colour (Black pride), yeah (For all to see)
Couldn't be no other (Oh no), oh no (I must be me)
I said Black is my colour (Black pride), yeah (For all to see)
Couldn't be no other (Oh no), no (I must be me)
[Verse 1]
Brown is the colour of my eyes
And I've got no reason to disguise
Black is the pride in me
For all of the world to see
And I just got to say
[Chorus]
Black is my colour (Black pride), yeah (For all to see)
Couldn't be no other (Oh no), no (I must be me)
I said Black is my colour (Black pride), yeah (For all to see)
Couldn't be no other (Oh no), no (I must be me)
[Instrumental]
Yeah, yeah
Mmm-hmm, hmm
[Instrumental]
And I'm so proud to be
The colour that God made me
That I've just got to say
[Chorus]
Black is my colour (Black pride), yeah (For all to see)
Couldn't be no other (Oh no), oh no (I must be me)
I said Black is my colour (Black pride), yeah, yeah (For all to see)
Couldn't be no other (Oh no), no (I must be me)
[Outro]
I said Black is my colour (Black pride), Black is my colour, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (For all to see)
Could never be no other
