Say It Loud - Am Black and Proud (1968)

This James Brown song taught me more about American capitalism than all of Marx's books combined

Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud) Lyrics

Now we demand a chance to do things for ourself

We're tired of beatin' our head against the wall

And workin' for someone else

We're people

We're just like the birds and the bees

We'd rather die on our feet

Than be livin' on our knees

Say it loud

I'm black and I'm proud
