Brown, James - Say It Loud - I'm Black And I'm Proud Lyrics
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
I say we won't quit moving
Til we get what we deserve
We've been buked and we've been scourned
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,
Say it loud,
I'm black and I'm proud, one more time
Say it loud,

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

And working for someone else
Say it loud,

Now we demand a chance to do things for ourselves

We rather die on our feet,

Say it loud,

Sometimes we dance, we sing and we talk
You know I do like to do the camel walk
Alright now, hu alright,

Im black and im proud ✊🏾
My daddy and mom played this jam on our stereo every single day in my house! My brother's and sister's and I would sing and dance while listening to this song. This song gave us a sense of empowerment, pride and dignity as a black individual in America! 👍👍👏👏
"We'd rather die on our feet than keep livin on our knees"!!!
2 days before Christmas I remember this was always played at Big Mama's during the holidays let your feel or grandkids feel some pride like u did back in the day

The Truth!!!!!!!
这个家伙很棒!

Black people still don’t have a place on earth
Thank you James Brown for laying down the ground work I will continue your legacy and what you smoke for the black people
This is so timeless and relevant that 500 years after we are gone, they will play this as if it had just come out. Other songs and people will fade over time but not this song or the man who made it happen. Thank you Mr Brown!
I'm black and I am proud✊🏾✊🏾
I'm white and I'm proud to listen to this and everything James Brown did. I would like to thank Jimmy "Chank" Nolen, Hearlon "Cheese" Martin, Clyde "funky drummer" Stubblefield, John "Jabo" Starks, Maceo Parker, Bootsy Collins, Phelps "Catfish" Collins, Saint-Clair Pinkney, Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis, Fred Thomas, "Sweet" Charles Sherell, Darryl "Hassan" Jamison, Fred Wesley, Bobby Byrd and last but not least James Brown for their music.
1967 when this song came out my oldest brother went into the military that year I was 11 years old this song gave inspriation to black people
blah blah blah kots
Far Too many of us say we proud to be Black, but why we act like we don't love each other. I am always and will always be proud to be Black. Saying it and acting it are totally different. Wake up people before it's too late.
Say it low...I'm white and slow!!!!
Lol...you alright with me bruh.
CTFU!
That a joke
6:34 am and I'm blasting this. I live in between Asains and Hispanics and I hope they understand😊

I’m Black and I’m Proud !!🖤🖤🖤
As a trans-ethnic black man (the doctor assigned me the caucasian race at birth), I have always felt this to be one of the very best anthems that speaks to empowerment, respect, and dignity. James Brown's voice speaks to us just as strongly today as it did during the 1960s.
Stay PROUD, friends.
The horns.
Donald trump brought me here.straight into 2020
I love that the Black Panthers mailed him a hand grenade for being an "Uncle Tom" so he turned around and made this. What a man.
Eyed rather die on my face than live on my knees
Say IT LOUD
I'm Irish an proud hell yeahhhhh 💚🇮🇪👍🏻😎
James used to compose and orchestrate his Big Band.
This is 🔥
I'm WHITE AND I`M RIGHT!
James Brown is probably the first person in history to be openly black.
You are very stupid
Am I allowed to sing this song?
The black people national anthem
We drove the whole school crazy with this song. Still love it to this day.
This song ran a long time. All the kids sang black and proud in school and every where. What a great feeling it was to say it.
It's time that black people saw themselves as people first rather than as black first: then there would be less racism
@Adrian Cooke did you really cause if you did you'll know our struggles with racism and white terrorism and wouldn't have said the stupid stuff you're saying here
@Adrian Cooke you have a problem with black people focusing on our own thing and rising above whites and doing the same thing yall did to us when yall numbers drop down
@papa smack your hat The point is that people are racist for a reason
@Adrian Cooke mind telling me why
@papa smack your hat In my case I don't care about black people because black people don't care about white people
Nubian Moors must know their psychological weakness because the US foreign establishment knows our waeknes ; that weaknes is found in our emotional thinking ; we need to use our intellectual thinking ; know that the word and name "Black" was given to us through emotional thinking by an employee(James Brown) of the US Foreign Establishment department of Entertainment.
Proud to be a black man.
This is my favorite song it make a proud to be a black man i rather be black than white
Anybody here for Mixed-ish?

i'm sooo Black and sooo Proud!!!! Thanks JB
I remember when this came out and JB was making a statement as a real black man letting us know and black folks we are the beginning and the end. Wake up.
James Brown was the man
He was talking
🤙😎
The Original Funk Master! RIP JB
👌🏻👌🏻love it ❤️❤️
SAY IT LOUD IM BLACK AND IM PROUD
1 corinthians 10:12 if you think your standing firm be carefull that you dont fall
if james brown says im black and proud i understand but all the comments who say im black and proud you people just must have to wash your mouth
You know what really upset me and make me very sad at the same time? Is that blacks in the USA are not aware of their obvious superiority as a people! But listen to the sound of the music the guys were doing back in time, it`s just unbelievable! Not to mention Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Charly Parker...etc...etc...etc...etc...etc...All the LOVE and RESPECT from your brothers and sisters from the French Islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe.
🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
AMENNNN!!!!!! IM BLACK AND IM PROUUDD!!!
I am white and proud. Trump 2020
"WE'D RATHER DIE ON OUR FEET, THAN TO BE LIVING ON OUR KNEES!!!"
This soldier here you loud and clear. Now say it loud 🔥
James saying I’m black and I’m proud but didn’t want to pay his band 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just like a Boss man
I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD!!!!!
2019 still blacc and proud ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Get mad at yourself this is real 21 century black kids are dying quickly than any other it's because of you the parents you blame yourself.
We need this today
Are you so pathetic that you need to be reassured by others that it's okay to exist? Do you feel like a tapeworm? A parasite that hangs in the large intestine?
Maybe you should see a shrink. That way of thinking isn't healthy.
Im Indian & Scotch Irish....black is a coverup to hide the darker Indians in/of America
Taino or Arawak Indians?
@YAHAWAH WA YAHAWASHI IBAD Chocktaw
Song of Solomon 1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
Daniel 10:5-6 KJV — Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
I heard him at 11 years old and took these as my marching orders, considering all that was going on in the country at the time.
Remember!!
I’m black and I’m proud.
Uh! With your bad self!
[Hook]
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
[Verse 1]
Some people say we've got a lot of malice
Some say it's a lot of nerve
But I say we won't quit moving until we get what we deserve
We have been 'buked and we have been scorned
We've been treated bad, talked about as sure as you're born
But just as sure as it takes two eyes to make a pair, ha
Brother we can't quit until we get our share
[Hook]
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
[Verse 2]
I worked on jobs with my feet and my hands
But all the work I did was for the other man
Now we demand a chance to do things for ourselves
We're tired of beating our head against the wall
And working for someone else
[Hook]
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
[Bridge]
Ooh-wee, give it to me
All right, you're out of sight
All night, so tough
You're tough and rough
Ooh-wee, uh, you're killing me
[Hook]
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
[Verse 3]
We demand a chance to do things for ourselves
We're tired of beating our head against the wall
And working for someone else
[Verse 4]
We're people, we like the birds and the bees
We'd rather die on our feet
Than be living on our knees
[Hook]
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
[Bridge 2]
All right now, good God
You know we can do the boogaloo
Now we can say with the funky talk, and we do
Sometimes we sing and we talk
You know we jump back and do the camel walk
All right now, all right
All right
[Hook]
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
[Verse 3]
We demand a chance to do things for ourselves
We're tired of beating our head against the wall
And working for someone else
[Verse 4]
We're people, we like the birds and the bees
We'd rather die on our feet
Than be living on our knees
[Hook]
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
[Bridge 3]
Ooh-wee, you're killing me
All right, you're out of sight
All right, you're out of sight
Ooh-wee, ah
Ooh-wee, you're killing me
Ooh-wee
[Hook]
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!
Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud!

“SAY IT LOUD: I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD” TRACK INFO
JAMES BROWN told ME THIS - BEFORE - my Parents told me. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!!
PEACE, LOVE & BLESSINGS
To our surprise this song was a trick of psychology and emotion ; James Brown was ordered by his secret society superiors of the foreign establishment U.S Corporation ; to get his people to proudly call themselves "black" ; etymology of black is pale and shiny or dead ; "black" is a political status of dead and White is a political status of nobility ; [black] has no International standing that is why they can mistreat us.
We original indigenous wooly hair copper complexion people are the indigenous moors/muur of the Americas ; the foreign establishment is making millions per day from our estate who we are the creditors of the heirs of.
We are of White political status and are the original owners of North America.
Gotta keep the tinfoil hat on to keep the aliens from invading your brain.
@Dolphinboi : Be adviced that as mortals especially Nubian people are very attracted to emotional thinking and it is emotional thinking that make my people think that what they have learned is good ; my Nubian Moor people concentrate on connotation of a word ; they need to learn the denotation of that word black ; that is found in the etymology of the word "black".
Feeling this
Only Godfather of Soul RIP your music rings true Soulfulfather
💯✊✊✊✊✊✊✊ASE WE NEED THIS BACK IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY
This song is for all the Uncle Tom's of today! How can you call your self or anyone else a ni**a and be proud of it!! This rapper selling out for a few dollars bring our race down!! Like mr James brown said, say it loud I'm black and I'm proud!!
If you saw a white person walking down the street, minding his own business, would you attack him?
If you answered yes, then you are the problem.
If you answered no, congratulations, you're not a racist ass.
Say it Loud!
RIP Godfather
