You know Im proud to be black yall
And thats a fact yall
And if you try to take whats mine

Licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-
Listen party people heres a serious song
Its right not wrong, I should say right on
I gotta tell you somethin that you all should know
Its not a mystery its history and heres 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 theres a lot that she gave
Theres not a slave, in this day and age
Im proud to be

[d.m.c.]
Black, God damn, Im tired my man
Dont worry bout what color I am
Because Ill 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
Im proud of my name, my name is darryl mack
Im black and Im proud, and Ill say it out loud
Ill share my story with the whole crowd, auuughh!

[run-d.m.c.]
You know Im proud to be black yall
And thats a fact yall
And if you try to take whats mine
I take it back yall - its 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
Ill say it in a rap cause I do not sing

[d.m.c.]
D.m.c., the man, thats causin the beef
I got a message for the world so listen up its brief
Like malcolm x said I wont turn the right cheek
Got the strength to go the length, if you wanna start beef
Start beef!

[run-d.m.c.]
You know Im proud to be black yall
And real brave yall
And motherfucker I could never be a slave yall
So take that!!

[run]
Were gonna tell ya somethin put your mind in a swirl
God bless the next baby that comes in this world
The worlds full of hate discrimination and sin
People judgin other people by the color of skin
Ill attack this matter, in my own way
Man, I aint no slave, I aint reelin no hay
Written a deposition, in any condition
Dont get in my way cause Im full of ambition
Im proud to be black (and I aint takin no crap)
Im fresh out the pack (and Im 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
Whats wrong with ya man? 	how can you be so dumb?
Like dr. king said, we shall overcome!
