Why

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Why wouldn't I be proud to be me?

I come from a rich history and rich culture and people who like me have been exuding brilliance and excellence under the worst of conditions.

I don't have any reason to not be proud and every reason to be.

 

[Shorty K]

If you're a good hearted person you can read a history book and don't have to lie to yourself about the nature of your humanity and you also know from history that you walk the path of the righteous, unlike other groups of folks.

[CinnaSlim]

The strength of my ancestors, our history, our melanin, my hair. When you see me, you know I come from something good. Original man, strong healthy genes.

We have such a rich culture and we are simply the coolest effortlessly. Why wouldnt I be proud?
