Say It Loud (Say It Live) - James Brown



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

Some say it's a lotta nerve

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,

I'm black and I'm proud

Say it loud,

I'm black and I'm proud, one more time

Say it loud,

I'm black and I'm proud, huh

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

we tired of beating our heads against the wall

And working for someone else

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

Say it loud,

Alright, so tough, you're tough enough

Ooowee uh, you're killing me, oow

Say it loud,

Say it louder,

I'm black and I'm proud

Now we demand a chance to do things for ourselves

We tired of beating our heads against the wall

And working for someone else

A look a'here,

One thing more I got to say right here

Now, we're people like the birds and the bees

We rather die on our feet,

Than keep living on our knees

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,
