Give me five on the Black Hand side On the Black Hand side Give me five on the Black. Hand. Side Yeah that’s the new dap, so tell the news that We’re more than just thugs, athletes, and hood rats We’re the most innovative, underrated Complicated culture in the whole wide world OURstory proves that! We weren’t just slaves we were more than that When Europeans were in caves We were more than that Bruh, we taught them how to bathe Even more than baths Look at all the stuff we gave, the Moor’s are back! I’m talking about those black kings Who ruled the first place where Hola meant hello Word to Othello! Moor with the OO in the center If you’re ever feeling lost, just remember You is a Winner!! You Black! Be proud of that! You Black! Be proud of that! You Black! Be proud of that! Proud and Black! Proud and Black! I’m Black! And I’m Proud of that I’m Black! And I’m proud of that! I’m Black! And I’m proud of that! Proud and Black! Proud and Black! I’m Black! I’m the rose that grew out the concrete and so are you Together we blossomed into a bouquet Our Aura and Aroma noticed in any room Full of Lilies, you can smell the rose perfumed (1) With Shae butter, coconut oil, and black soap Our Melanin poppin! Since the day we sprouted from that soil of that continent Where you find gold oil, diamonds Rubies redder than robin Ivory whiter than teeth No wonder we flossing. I find it ironic The concrete that was holding us back was never black ‘Cus black don’t crack No Black don’t Crack. No, black is like coal Under pressure it evolves into diamonds that glow Shining bright like hope Our Story is Amazing, The greatest never told What culture you know Overcame the same fate? Black ain't bad, baby Black is great! And You Black! Be proud of that! You Black! Be proud of that! You Black! Be proud of that! Proud and Black! Proud and Black! I’m Black! And I’m Proud of that I’m Black! And I’m proud of that! I’m Black! And I’m proud of that! Proud and Black! Proud and Black! I’m Black Look at all the stuff we’ve been through Jet Magazine we had a bunch of issues Missed opportunities we’ve had a couple miscues Still we’ve made it. We’ve paid it when the rents due Even through oppression! We started as king, forced into slaves Transitioned to leaders, inventors And rulers of state (2) We moved and we shaped The fabric of the country that swooped us away Don’t ever think you weak that we were just slaves I’m a griot with a bachelors and a masters I went to college and learned Why we had to call them massas They wouldn’t let us read our knowledge That would be disastrous ‘Cus when you free your mind You wanna break out them shackles See they just wanna move your body I’m tryna move your mind They just wanna move your body I’m just tryna move your mind They just wanna loose it up I’m tryna stiffen spines Make you stand up and raise your fist with some pride! You Black! Be proud of that! You Black! Be proud of that! You Black! Be proud of that! Proud and Black! Proud and Black! I’m Black! And I’m Proud of that I’m Black! And I’m proud of that! I’m Black! And I’m proud of that! Proud and Black! Proud and Black! You Black! Be proud of that! You Black! Be proud of that! You Black! Be proud of that! Proud and Black! Proud and Black! I’m Black! And I’m Proud of that I’m Black! And I’m proud of that! I’m Black! And I’m proud of that! Proud and Black! Proud and Black! I’m Black
