I'm Black Lyrics - Floetry

[Verse 1: Styles P] (*Floetry) 

(I'm Black!!!)Whether I'm poor or rich or rich or poor its all the same shit 

(I'm Black!!!) Even though my skins kind of 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 folks 

(I'm Black!!!) So I like the oldies on Sundays 

Drink all night and still go to work Monday 

(I'm Black!!!) So I like my kids lookin real nice 

Cause I been poor and I know what it feels like 

(I'm Black!!!) And I'm a say it loud like James Brown 

People be proud cause we all up in the game now 

(I'm Black!!!) And I'm a 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 aint afraid to show it 

(I'm Black!!!) And I'm a genius and a motherfuckin poet, you know it 

(*Oh oh oooh oooh yeah!) 

[Chorus: Floetry] (*Letters in CAPS mean Styles P & Floetry sing together) 

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!!!) Through all of the struggle and the hatred 

(I'M BLACK!!!) And I'm not afraid to say it 

(I'M BLACK!!!) I'm black, over and over, say it again, yeah 

[Verse 2: Styles P] (*Floetry) 

(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 Im young good in sports 

Ninety percent chance I get hung in the court 

(I'm Black!!!) Don't you be scared of me Mister 

Cause you dont really seemed to be scared of my sister 

(I'm Black!!!) And I could ride first class too 

Or buy an exotic car and might mirk pass you 

(I'm Black!!!) And I dont need a tan in the winter 

Mind strong and powerful non-cipher cant enter 

(I'm Black!!!) And I dont need jewelry to shine 

Look at my skin color its like the jewelry is blind 

(I'm Black!!!) They focus on the negative attention 

Do something positive it never get mentioned 

(I'm Black!!!) Listen its a fact 

Original man that wouldnt change it if I could and thats that 

(*Oh oh oooh oooh yeah!) 

[Chorus: Floetry] (*Letters in CAPS mean Styles P & Floetry sing together) 

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!!!) Through all of the struggle and 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 3: Styles P] (*Floetry) 

(I'm Black!!!) Even with a caramel complexion 

Look in the mirror see Malcolm and Martin in reflection 

(I'm Black!!!) Just like the Panthers lookin for an answer 

This prejudice shit is like cancer 

(I'm Black!!!) Look at my eyes the wool cant get pulled over 

Look at my cars they stay gettin pulled over 

(I'm Black!!!) Meanin Public Enemy's number one 

Government lookin in the hood sendin in the guns 

(I'm Black!!!) I grew up off The Good Times show 

Drink liquor and some weed let the good times roll 

(I'm Black!!!) I live for my wife and my seeds 

And my mind with a find only God could exceed 

(I'm Black!!!) I got to show my homeboys love 

First thing we learned in the hood was homeboy love 

(I'm Black!!!) And I'm that if I aint nothin else 

(I'm Black!!!) I'm beautiful I love myself 

(*Love myself, oooh oooh oooh yeah!) 

[Chorus: Floetry] (*Letters in CAPS mean Styles P & Floetry sing together) 

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!!!) Through all of the struggle and the hatred 

(I'M BLACK!!!) And I'm not afraid to say it 

(I'M BLACK!!!) I'm black, I'm black, yeah.
