Young gifted and black Oh what a lovely precious dream To be young gifted and black Open your heart to what I mean In the whole world you know There was a billion boys and girls Who are young gifted and black And that`s a fact You are young gifted and black We must begin to tell our young There`s a world waiting for you Your`s is the quest that`s just begun When you feel really low Yeah there`s a great truth that you should know When you`re young gifted and black Your soul`s intact To be young gifted and black Oh how I long to know the truth There are times when I look back And I am haunted by my youth Oh but my joy of today Is that we can all be proud to say To be young gifted and black Is where it`s at Is where it`s at Is where it`s at
