Proud Lyrics by XXL

2018

[Intro: Martin Luther King Jr & XXL]
-Don’t let anybody take your manhood. Be proud of our heritage. As somebody said earlier tonight, we don’t have anything to be ashamed of. Somebody told a lie one day. They couched it in language. They made everything black ugly and evil. Look in your dictionary and see the synonyms of the word black. It’s always something degrading, low and sinister. Look at the word white. It’s always something pure, high, clean. Well I want to get the language right tonight. I want to get the language so right that everybody here will cry out, YES! I’M BLACK. I’M PROUD OF IT. I’M BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL!
The black skin is not a badge of shame but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness, Marcus Garvey
Yea
Had to do it for the people
Its the Prequel
Rap will never be the same
Its time to change the game
Yea Double X
[Verse]
Black shoes, Black suit, Black shades, Black coupe, Black pain
Black Maine, The motherhood, Black roots, Black girls, Black queens, Black balled, Black schemes, Black Mom, Black dad, Black boys, Black Kings, Black owned, Black out, Black homes, Black house, Pockets full of blue hundreds, But black cards don’t max out, Fab 5, Black tie, Black pride, Black wives, You wanna know what matters, Show respect when I say Black lives, First they killers, Black whales, Snitching, That’s a rat tail, Police was gon’ hold something against him, That’s some Black mail, Black swan, Black dawn, Black pawns, Black strong, Secrets like the wade in the water, That’s a Black psalm, Black way, To Black street, Black groups, Where Blacks meet, Sitting in the front of the bus, And not the back seats, We black now, Was Black then, Ain’t much changed since back then, Cept we idolize our melanin, Black skin, Black gangs, Black slang, Gold carrots, Black chains, Put a Black man In office, That’s some Black change, Black coffee, With Black ice, I’m extra Black, That’s Black twice, Black Death, And Black life, My Black voice, my Black rights, I’m with the Black team, That’s evident, Our Black dreams, Thats heaven sent, Hope you get these, Black messages, Cus Black power is, Black excellence
