Proud To Be Black Lyrics - Raising Hell - Run D.m.c.

[Run] 

You know I'm proud to be black y'all 

and that's a fact y'all 

And if you try to take what's mine 

I take it back y'all - it's like that 

Licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki- 

Listen party people here's a serious song 

It's right not wrong, I should say right on 

I gotta tell you somethin that you all should know 

It's not a mystery it's history and here's how it go 

Now Hariett Tubman, was born a slave 

She was a tiny black woman, when she was raised 

She was livin to be givin there's a lot that she gave 

There's not a slave, in this day and age 

I'm proud to be

Black, god damn, I'm tired my man 

Don't worry bout what color I am 

Because I'll show you how ill, this man can act 

It could never be fiction cause it is all fact 

And if you get in my way, I will not turn back 

I'm proud of my name, my name is Darryl Mack 

I'm black and I'm proud, and I'll say it out loud 

I'll share my story with the whole crowd, AUUUGHH! 

[Run-D.M.C.] 

You know I'm proud to be black y'all 

and that's a fact y'all 

And if you try to take what's mine 

I take it back y'all - it's like that

DJ Run, and I run these things 

You can hear it loud and clear like when the schoolbell rings 

Like Martin Luther King, I will do my thing 

I'll say it in a rap cause I do not sing 

[D.M.C.] 

D.M.C., the man, that's causin the beef 

I got a message for the world so listen up it's brief 

Like Malcolm X said I won't turn the right cheek 

Got the strength to go the length, if you wanna start beef 

Start beef! 

[Run-D.M.C.] 

You know I'm proud to be black y'all 

and real brave y'all 

And motherfucker I could never be a slave y'all 

So take that! 

[Run] 

We're gonna tell ya somethin put your mind in a swirl 

God bless the next baby that comes in this world 

The world's full of hate discrimination and sin 

People judgin other people by the color of skin 

I'll attack this matter, in my own way 

Man, I ain't no slave, I ain't reelin no hay 

Written a deposition, in any condition 

Don't get in my way cause I'm full of ambition 

I'm proud to be black (and I ain't takin no crap) 

I'm fresh out the pack (and I'm proud to be black) 

SO TAKE THAT! 

[Run-D.M.C.] 

There was a man - an inventor - who invented so well 

He invented a fortune - for a man named Bell 

George Washington Carver, made the peanut great 

Showed any man with a mind, could create 

You read about Malcolm X - in the history text 

Jesse Owens broke records, Ali broke necks 

What's wrong with ya man? How can you be so dumb? 

LIKE DR. KING SAID, WE SHALL OVERCOME!
