PROUD (Shape of You Remake - Pride Anthem)

[Intro]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh

[Verse 1]
(Look) 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
(look) I’m still gonna sing

[Chorus]
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 (i'm proud)
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh (i'm proud)
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh (i'm proud)
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh (i'm proud)

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 (i'm proud)
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh (i'm proud)
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh (i'm proud)
Oh oh, oh oh

[Bridge]
I’m proud, I’m proud, let me hear you say it (hear you say it)
I’m proud, I’m proud, no more hesitating (don’t you hesitate)
I’m proud, I’m proud, let me hear you say it
I’m proud, I’m proud
Let them know sis

[Chorus]
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 (i'm proud)
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh (i'm proud)
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh (i'm proud)
Oh oh, oh oh
I’m Proud
