Kool Moe Dee - Say It Loud (African Pride) songtekst

Je score:

[James Brown] (Ugh!)



(Ugh!)



Some say we got a lot of malice

Some say we got a lot of nerve

But I say we can't quit fighting

Until we get what we deserve

Just as sure as it takes two eyes to make a pair

Brother, we can't quit

Until we get our share

Come on



Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

Come on, say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

(Louder!)

Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)



Now I worked on jobs

With my feet and my hands

And all the work I did

Was for the other man

We demand a chance

To do things for ourselves

We're tired of beating our heads against the wall

And workin for someone else

Come on



Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

Everybody, say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

(Louder!)

Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)



And yes y'all

Rise and shine

Brothers and sisters, it's that time

As the modern day prophets speak in rhythm and rhyme

Under the influence of the benign

Our rise as the weakest decline

So stick together and keep a positive mind

And sing this song one more time



Come on



Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

Everybody say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

Brothers and sisters, say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

(Louder!)

Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)



Now we been whipped, chained

Beaten and scorned

We been treated bad

From Knowledge to Born

Now we've got African Pride

That runs deep as the Seven Seas

We'd rather die on our feet

Than keep living on our knees

Come on



Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)



This ain't the sound that you hear

It's gonna be music to your ear

You have no fear

Cause God is here

As the righteous get it in gear

And the wicked step to the rear

You're outta here



Feel the power in the rhythm

As our souls move vocally

Come together in a montage

A collage of harmony

Spirits manifest in our voices

As our hearts provide the beat

For a source of inspiration

When we speak in unity

Though it seems like it's a dream

This is as real as it gets

Controlling your environment

Through chanting your concept

Breathing life into lyrics

You can hear it, loud and clear

You can almost see the spirit

From vibrations that you hear

I'm a brother of color descent

From the mother continent

And I been sent with the intent

To rectify the hell-bent

From the line of the devine 

Of those way before my time

Like a star I'm chosen to shine

As the God of Rhythm and Rhyme

Comin strictly from an Afrocentric point of view

I talk to you in a tongue that relates to the young

And if you can't relate, it ain't meant for you

This is strictly for the restoration of pride and enterprise

Esoteric knowledge - essential to our rise

Come on



(I'm African proud!)

He-he-he-he...

(I'm African proud!)

Come on, say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)

(Louder!)

Say it loud!

(I'm African proud!)



(Ugh!)
