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.
