Proud To Be Black

it was a task
put me on the pass
to see and be free
when the card were stack
many time
walking pickett line
almost got wack
AM STILL
PROUD TO BE BLACK

The late James Brown sang it out loud. He was black and was always proud. I can say the same thing also. I can hold my head up wherever I go. Things are not the same as they were before. Nobody is going to hold me down anymore.
