Proud Lyrics

I'm so proud

Whole world wanna be me now

I'm so proud

That god chose to paint me brown

I'm so proud

Wish my ancestors could see me now

I'm so proud

That god chose to paint me brown

On my James Brown ish

Proud like Oscar, Penny

Trade black for the world

Then i guess the world ending

Wonder how got here, in this current position

Where the black children think they nigga cause of they complexion

Quite complex but in this song i'ma help you catch it

Break it down why you should be proud to be your complexion

Others tan so best believe that they fans

When you looking in that mirror you should be your biggest fan

Yo my brother know you King

Yo my sister know you Queen

You come from royalty survived everything

Your ancestors dreams least you can do is go and follow yours

Black and proud gone and scream it from your lungs

I'm so proud

Whole world wanna be me now

I'm so proud

That god chose to paint me brown

I'm so proud

Wish my ancestors could see me now

I'm so proud

That god chose to paint me brown

Tell me, what's next for my people

Gave you this album because my people was whom i wanted to speak to

Something you can reference for your greatness

Something you can play back for the babies

Gave you 808s and added message

Gave a lot of love a little flexing

Duality is such a blessing

They gone wonder how i crept in won the souls of all my fellow black men

While cherishing the black woman

Black love i stan

Black freedoms the plan flowers to the ancestors who done proved we can

Making this album made me more of a man

So to you i give this classic gone play it again

I'm so proud

Whole world wanna be me now

I'm so proud

That god chose to paint me brown

I'm so proud

Wish my ancestors could see me now

I'm so proud

That god chose to paint me brown
