Run DMC – Proud To Be Black Lyrics  Share

From Run DMC's album: Raising Hell

[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

[D.M.C.]
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

[Run]
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!
