| To be 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 are billion boys and girls |
| Who are young, gifted and black, |
| And that’s a fact! |
| Young, gifted and black |
| We must begin to tell our young |
| There’s a world waiting for you |
| This is a quest that’s just begun |
| When you feel really low |
| Yeah, there’s a great truth you should know |
| When you’re young, gifted and black |
| Your soul’s intact |
| Young, gifted and black |
| 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 |
