text: PROUD Lyrics
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
  Oh oh, oh oh
   Let me tell you about pride
  The struggle to survive
  Living every day with your loving under fire
  People questioning the ways that you self-identify
  And who you choose to date is it never on your mind?
  And that’s why people so - fascinated, they passive hating
  Y’all repeat the rhetoric just like a class was taken
  But I bet we could settle it just if the past were traded
  And y’all were born a certain way and told you had to hate it
  I’m doing me, y’all can disagree
  But, people paid to talk, and y’all do it for free
  But, you can see me walking, up and through the streets
   I’m still gonna sing
  I will not be ashamed
  This is just who I am, who I was meant to be
  No mistakes
  And right here I stand, I’m out on my own two feet
  No, you will not tear me down
  No, my heart will not be bound
  Singing loud, say it loud, I’m Proud
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh 
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh 
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh 
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh 
  I think it’s time that we respect each other
  Just being realistic, why do we expect each other to be the same
  And if we aren’t, then we reject each other
  As if the way I use my heart will make me less than others
  I lace up my shoes and walk in my truth
  Cause being myself ain’t nothing taboo
  I go through the world with nothing to prove
  Cause I’ve heard it all, man, I’m bulletproof
  This ain’t political, this is pivotal
  Let me draw you up a visual of knowing who you are
  I mean it’s visceral, and then you open up and manifest it in the physical
  Take a giant step but in the world, you’re still invisible
  I will demand that you understand
  And you will respect the person I am
  Cause I’m not afraid, look I do exist
  I insist
  I will not be ashamed
  This is just who I am, who I was meant to be
  No mistakes
  And right here I stand, I’m out on my own two feet
  No, you will not tear me down
  No, my heart will not be bound
  Singing loud, say it loud, I’m Proud
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh 
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh 
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh 
  Oh oh, oh oh
  I’m proud, I’m proud, let me hear you say it 
  I’m proud, I’m proud, no more hesitating 
  I’m proud, I’m proud, let me hear you say it
  I’m proud, I’m proud
  Let them know sis
  I will not be ashamed
  This is just who I am, who I was meant to be
  No mistakes
  And right here I stand, I’m out on my own two feet
  No, you will not tear me down
  No, my heart will not be bound
  Singing loud, say it loud, I’m Proud
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh 
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh 
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh 
  Oh oh, oh oh
  I’m Proud1Embed
