Be Black Baby by Grady Tate Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1969

[Verse 1]
You're walking down the street
And everyone you meet
Is gonna step to the side and stare
'Cause you're feelin' good
And you know you should
'Cause there's black pride everywhere

[Chorus]
You want to shout and sing
Come on and do your thing
Oh! (Woo! Woo!) Be black, baby be black!
Oh! (Woo! Woo!) Be black, baby be black!

[Verse 2]
Now phony Tony here, has got a long time fear
Thinks he's right 'cause he's acting white
But what that man can't see
When he looks at me
Is that back pride's everywhere!
[Chorus]
You want to shout and sing
Come on and do your thing
Oh! (Woo! Woo!) Be black, baby bе black!
Oh! (Woo! Woo!) Be black, baby be black!

Be black, baby
Bе black
Be black, baby
Be black
Be black, baby
Be black

[Verse 3]
Come on, join in the crowd
We'll make a magic cloud
We'll ride on top it's back
We'll turn the daylight black
'Cause there's black pride everywhere!

[Verse 4]
So don't you get uptight
When everything ain't right
'Cause our day in the sun will come
And when the sun shines through
I'm gonna shout it to you
[Outro]
Oh! (Woo! Woo!) Be black, baby be black!
Oh! (Woo! Woo!) Be black, baby be black!
Oh! (Woo! Woo!) Be black, baby be black!
Ow! (Woo! Woo!) Be black, baby be black!
Yeah! (Woo! Woo!) Be black, baby be black!
Be black! (Woo! Woo!) Be black, baby be black!
