Black Gold |
| Chorus: |
| Hold your head as high as you can, |
| I love to see you… |
| For life sometimes is cold and cruel |
| Baby, no one else will tell you, |
| So remember that you are |
| You are black gold, black gold |
| You are black gold! |
| Now maybe none else has ever told you so But you’re golden, baby, black with a diamond soul |
| Think of all the strength you have in you |
| From the blood you carry within you |
| Ain’t your man, powerful man |
| Build us up civilization? |
| There’ll be folks… putting you down |
| Don’t get burn, don’t get burn! |
| Oh, not necessarily everyone will know your world, no, no Think of all the strength you have in you |
| From the blood you carry within you |
| Ain’t your man, powerful man |
| Build us up civilization? |
| Think of all the strength you have in you |
| From the blood you carry within you |
| Ain’t your man, powerful man |
| Build us up civilization? |
| Chorus: |
| Hold your head as high as you can, |
| I love to see you… |
| For life sometimes is cold and cruel |
| Baby, no one else will tell you, |
| So remember that you are |
| You are black gold, black gold |
| You are black gold! |
| Think of all the strength you have in you |
| From the blood you carry within you |
| Ain’t your man, powerful man |
| Build us a civilization! |
| Think of all the strength you have in you |
| From the blood you carry within you |
| Ain’t your man, powerful man |
| Build us a civilization! |
| Chorus: |
| Hold your head as high as you can, |
| I love to see you… |
| For life sometimes is cold and cruel |
| Baby, no one else will tell you, |
| So remember that you are |
| You are black gold, black gold |
| You are black gold! |
| You are black gold, black gold |
| You are black gold! |
| You are black gold, black gold |
| You are black gold! |
