(D major) (A major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
You know, (D major)
there's bunch of talk going around about being black and I'm proud.
This is all fine and dandy.
You know I'm black too and I'm proud,
but let me explain something to you. (G major)
Everybody should (D major) be proud of their (G major) race,
nothing wrong with that, (D major) that's all (G major) right. (A major) (C sharpdim) (A major) (G major)
But me, myself, (D minor) I think, (D major) first of all,
(D minor) (D major) we (D minor) (D major) black folks ought to start for the other right.
You know, (G major) (D major) if I bump into you, you bump into me,
you don't watch out, it'll be a killing
spree.
You know, stuff like (D minor) that. (G major) (D minor) (D major)
Go to the next corner,
stand up and holler (D minor) loud (D major) and say (G major) I'm (D major) black and I'm proud.
That's all right. (G major)
(A major) Everybody ought be proud of their color an (C sharpdim)
d (A major) (G major) everyone should be proud of their race. (D minor)
(D major) But I say I was a negro and a black man myself
that would have had a little respect for myself.
We start doing this, then you can go (G major) around and say
(A major) that (C sharpdim) (A major) (G major) you're black and really proud.
Not because you're (D major) black,
because you recognize your brother.
Not because he's black,
because he's a man. (A major)
(G major) What's wrong with that? (D major)
But you know (G major) how it (D major) is
You (G major) want these
Bill
Janes? (D major)
Have a few (G major) ex tra (D major) bills
Call
Amalanche, the doctor
Cause here (G major) he is (D major)
Ah, that ain't too good (G major)
Happens all the time in the
ghetto neighbor (D major) hood. (G major) (A major) (C sharpdim)
I (A major) think (G major) in (D major) or der to be black and proud,
we ought to start (G major) thinking a little about (A major) this
and stop (C sharpdim) (G major) getting drunk on whiskey,
wine, and gin and doing each oth (D major) er in.
And then we consider we are black and proud,
not because you're black, because you're (G major) a
you know, (A major) a (C sharpdim) (A major) little common (G major) sense in your head,
and less al (D major) cohol.
Everybody should be proud
of their race.
Nothing wrong with that.
Whether you're blue, green,
yellow, orange, polka dot,
white, gray, black,
makes no difference.
Respect what's happening, brother. (A major) (G major)
You respect me, and I respect you.
I don't care if you white, blue, brown, black,
green, or polka -dotted, rainbow -colored.
Just as long as we've got respect,
brother. (D major)
Outro 1
And we can be black and proud.
(D major) (D major)
