Hold your head as high as you can
|
High enough to see who you are, little man
|
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
|
Baby no one else will tell you so remember that
|
|
You are Black Gold, Black Gold
|
You are Black Gold
|
|
Now maybe no one else has told you so
|
But you're golden, baby
|
Black Gold with a diamond soul
|
Think of all the strength you have in you
|
From the blood you carry within you
|
Ancient men, powerful men
|
Built us a civilization
|
|
They'll be folks hell-bent on putting you down
|
Don't get burned
|
Not necessarily everyone will know your worth
|
Think of all the strength you have in you
|
From the blood you carry within you
|
Ancient men, powerful men
|
Built us a civilization
|
|
Think of all the strength you have in you
|
Powerful, powerful men
|
Built us a civilization
|
|
Hold your head as high as you can
|
High enough to see who you are, little man
|
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
|
Baby no one else will tell you so remember that
|
|
You are Black Gold, Black Gold
|
You are Black Gold
|
|
There'll be folks hell-bent on putting you down
|
Don't get burned
