[verse 1]
’cause marcus garvey mek mi proud to be black
and bob marley mek mi proud to be black
and nelson mandela mek mi proud to be black
and martin luther king mek mi proud to be black
but you have some black people dem nuh proud to be black
when you ask dem if dem black dem will tell you say dem brown
dem black race and culture dem try fi disown
some powder up di skin fi mek it look like a tone
like me used to know dis girl by di name of joan
whose mother and father came from back home
she was blacker than frank bruno dressing gown
she head did curly and she lip long down
but one ting ’bout di girl she was a nice looker
one a’ di nicest girl mi see inna di area
say one day man mi say mi go fi check her
mi say “hey darling you really look super do you want to come to a dance and read the newsreader?”
she said “no thank you i’m going out with roger and i only check guys who have white colour!”
same night they went to a pop club called tropicana, mi say
she and di bwoy weh dem call roger-r
on di door was two big bouncers
one look like big daddy the famous wrestler
say roger and joan was about to enter
when they heard the words from the biggest bouncer
he said “you can come in mate but not that n-gg- we don’t want their sort their trouble makers”
the next day di girl come fi cry pon mi shoulder
mi tell her “move and go’way you shoulda proud a’ yuh colour” because!
[chorus]

[verse 2]
’cause mike tyson’ mek mi proud to be black
and lloyd honeyghan mek mi proud to be black
muhammad ali mek mi proud to be black
and john barnsey mek mi proud to be black
but you have some black man with funny mentality
and dem a’ di one’s who a’ hold back we
’cause when mi hear dem bwoy mi get angry
’cause certain tings dem say a’ pure stupidity
if a white man own a rose everybody say him rich
a black man buy di same one dem say him t’ief it
if a white man have a shop dem talk how him cheap
black shop wid same price dem would bawl how him t’ief
a white man wear nuff gold dey say he’s a actor
if a black man wear nuff gold dem say him sell ganja
if a white man mug a girl it nuh inna paper
but a black man do that it there pon front cover
that’s why
[chorus]
proud to be black
we should be proud to be black black
proud to be black we should be proud to be black follow me now

proud to be black black black
proud to be black
we should be proud to be black

whitney houston mek mi proud to be black
the actor bill cosby mek mi proud to be black and
stevie wonder mek mi proud to be black
the reverend desmond tutu mek mi proud to be black
