Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say it loud
I said I’m black and I’m proud, yeah, yeah
And I won’t let nobody out there hold me down, no, no
'Cause I can be what I wanna be
'Cause of the ones that paved the way for me
So raise 'em high if you believe
That you and I can reach our destiny
Destiny
Celebrate our duty for everyday
If you in the business
Big, brown all year long, not just February
If you really mean it
Celebrate you and me and everybody
Here to make a difference
And we all will soon see a brighter day
What a beautiful feeling
Remember the time now
Of when we couldn’t pick a seat inside, no
And I remember the day, alright
When we were shocked about slavery
Well now, but not now and not no more
