Young Gifted & Black Lyrics

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's a million 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
To be you young, gifted and black
Your soul's intact

Oh, the 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 joys of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
To be young, gifted and black
Is where it's at

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
That you are you young, gifted and black
Your soul's intact
Oh, the 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 joys 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
Is where it's at
Is where it's at
