Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm black
Whether I'm poor or rich or rich or poor
Dog, it's all the same shit
I'm black
Even though my skin's kinda 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 folk
I'm black
Sort of like the oldies on Sundays
Drink all night and still go to work Monday
[Verse 2]
I'm black
So I like my kids lookin' real nice
'Cause I been poor and I know what it feel like
I'm black
And I'ma say it loud like James Brown
People be proud 'cause we all up in the game now
I'm black
And I'ma 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 ain't afraid to show it
I'm black
And I'm a genius and a motherfuckin' poet
You know it
[Verse 3]
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
The one who been strugglin' in the hatred
I'm black
And I'm not afraid to say it
I'm black
I'm black 'cause I know I'm sinkin', yeah
[Verse 4]
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 I'm young into sports
Ninety percent chance I get hung in the court
I'm black
Don't you be scared of me, mister
'Cause you don't really seem to be scared of my sister
I'm black
And I can ride first class too or buy an exotic car
And like merk past you
[Verse 5]
I'm black
And I don't need to tan in the winter
Mind strong and powerful, not a cypher can't enter
I'm black
And I don't need jewelry to shine
Look at my skin color, it's like the jewelry is blind
I'm black
They focus on the negative attention
Do something positive and never get mentioned
I'm black
Listen, it's a fact, original man, I wouldn't change it
If I could, and that's that
[Verse 6]
So proud to be just who I am
So proud to say that I'm me, yeah
So proud to be just who I am
So proud to be so free
I'm black
So proud to say that I'm me
I'm black
The one who been strugglin' in 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 7]
I'm black
Even with a caramel complexion
Look in the mirror, see Malcolm and Martin reflection
I'm black
Just like the Panthers, lookin' for a end to this prejudice
Shit is like a cancer
I'm black
Look in my eyes, the wool can't get pulled over
Look at my cars, I stay gettin' pulled over
I'm black
Meanin' Public Enemies Number 1, government lookin' in the hood
Sendin' in the guns
I'm black
I grew up off The Good Times show
Drink liquor, smoke weed and let the good times roll
I'm black
I live for my wife and my seeds and my mom with a bond
Only God could exceed
I'm black
I got to show my homeboys love
First thing we've learned in the hood was homeboy love
I'm black
And I'm that if I ain't nothing else
I'm black
I'm beautiful, I love myself
Yeah (Love myself)
[Verse 8]
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'm me
I'm black
The one who been strugglin' in the hatred
I'm black
And I'm not afraid to say it
I'm black
I'm black
I'm black
Yeah
