Proud to Be (Konpa Version)
Verse 1
They say they don't want us here.
They say we don't belong here.
They close the door before us,
But our spirit remains strong.
Because we come from Haiti,
Because our skin is Black,
They try to push us away,
But we'll never turn our backs.
Pre-Chorus
You can deny us,
You can reject us,
But you will never
Take away our pride.
Chorus
We are proud to be Haitian.
We are proud to be Cuban.
We are proud to be Venezuelan.
We are proud to be Mexican.
We are proud to be African.
We are proud to be Jamaican.
We are proud to be Indian.
We are proud to be Syrian.
We are proud to be Somali.
We are proud to be South Sudanese.
We are proud to be Ethiopian.
We are proud to be Yemeni.
We are proud to be Burmese.
We are proud of who we are.
We are proud wherever we are.
We are proud to be Black.
We are proud to be free.
Verse 2
You send us back to suffering,
to cities torn apart.
But hope is still alive
today Inside each faithful heart.
Our people keep on fighting,
Our dreams will never die.
No matter where we travel,
We'll always hold our heads up high.
Bridge
We helped build America.
With our hands and with our hearts.
We worked, we served, we sacrificed.
We all have done our part.
Respect our human dignity.
Respect our hopes and dreams.
Together we are stronger Than we may ever seem.
Final Chorus
We are proud to be Haitian.
We are proud to be Cuban.
We are proud to be Venezuelan.

We are proud to be Somali.
We are proud to be South Sudanese.
We are proud to be Ethiopian.

We are proud to be free.
Outro
History will remember.
Our voices will be heard.
No matter where we journey,
We'll always stand together.
Ou... Ou... Ou... Ou...
