James Brown a composé cette chanson
avec le Front de Gauche.
C'est enfantin car
ce n'est pas une chanson pour les gens
qui n'ont pas vraiment fait de la politique.
C'est pour ça que,
en écoutant bien,
on dirait une chanson pour enfants.

Il n'y a pas que les noirs
qui savent' te faire le grand écart
et d'ailleurs la chorale est essentiellement composée de blancs et d'asiatiques.

Say it loud : I'm black and I'm proud !
Say it loud : I'm black and I'm proud !

Some people say we've got a lot of malice.
Some say it's a lot of nerve
But I say we won't quit moving until we get what we deserve
We have been bucked and we have been scorned
We have been treated bad, talked about as just bones
But just as it takes two eyes to make a pair,
ha 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 !

I worked on jobs with my feet and my hand
But all the work I did was for the other man
Now we demand a chance to do things for ourselves
We're tired of beatin' our head against the wall
And workin' for someone else

Ooh-ee, you're killing me.
Alright, you're out of sight.
Alright, so tough, you're tough enough.

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 : I'm black and I'm proud

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
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
