Black And Proud
Bang Bang Bang
And just like that he dropped dead
Three quick shots to the head
Many people watched and the cop ran away,
Glad.
Some people say all cops are bad
I was starting to think they were right
But that doesn’t mean we should give up our fight
Because our futures are bright
We should be proud of who we are
Even if to some people we may seem bizarre
We are all stars
We should be black and proud and shout out loud
We have our own beautiful culture
Which some people hate on us for and act like vultures
We’re powerful
We’re strong
And mighty
That’s all
But these racist people continue to make us fall
If you have an afro then wear it
If you have curls then wear them
If you have a durag continue to wear it
If you have a talent then share it
Let our voices be heard
Until this plague known as racism is cured
We keep going up like a stair
Because we have our own flair
We shouldn’t be scared
We shouldn’t have to be afraid
We all come from different places
No matter what our race is
We are all equal
And that means we should be peaceful
But that's not the case
So we have to embrace each other
No matter how long it takes
No matter how high the stakes
I will not stop fighting until they quit
Because we are tired of putting up with this shit
