Crucial Robbie - Proud To Be Black

Now this one dedicate to all the black man inna the world who don't proud to be black
Because black people inna this world we should be proud to be black
And I'm gonna tell you why
Hey hey

Anything me say unno say (Proud to be black)
Anything me say unno say (Proud to be black)
Anything me say unno say (Proud to be black)
Anything me say unno say (Proud to be black)
Because

Proud to be black
Proud to be black, black, black
Proud to be black
Robbie proud to be black follow me now
Proud to be black
Proud to be black, black, black
Proud to be black
Robbie proud to be black

'Cause Marcus Garvey make me proud to be black
And Bob Marley make me proud to be black
And Nelson Mandela make me proud to be black
And Martin Luther King make me proud to be black
But you have some black people dem no 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 the skin fi make it look like a tone
Like me used to know this girl by the name of Joan
Whose mother and father came from back home
She was blacker than Frank Bruno's dressing gown
She head did curly and she lip long down
But one thing 'bout the girl she was a nice looker
One a the nicest girl me said inna the area
Say one day man me say me go fi check her
Me 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, me say
She and the bwoy weh dem call Roger-r
On the 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 nigga
We don't want their sort their trouble makers"
The next day the girl come fi cry 'pon me shoulder
Me tell her, "Move and go 'way you should a proud a your colour!"
Becah!

Proud to be black
Proud to be black, black, black
Proud to be black
Robbie proud to be black follow me now
Proud to be black
Proud to be black, black, black
Proud to be black
Robbie proud to be black

Cah Mike Tyson' make me proud to be black
And Lloyd Honeyghan make me proud to be black
Muhammad Ali make me proud to be black
And John Barnsey make me proud to be black
But you have some black man with funny mentality
And dem a the one's who a hold back we
'Cause when me hear dem bwoy me get angry
'Cause certain things dem say a pure stupidity
If a white man own a rose everybody say him rich
A black man buy the same one dem say him thief it
If a white man have a shop dem talk how him cheap
Black shop with same price dem would bawl how him thief
A white man wear nuff gold they 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 no inna paper
But a black man do that it there 'pon front cover
That's why

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
Proud to be black, black, black
Proud to be black
We should be proud to be black

Because
Jesse Jackson make me proud to black, and
Whitney Houston make me proud to be black
The actor Bill Cosby make me proud to be black, and
Stevie Wonder make me proud to be black
The reverend Desmond Tutu make me proud to be black, and...
