Esperanza Spalding feat. Algebra Blessett & Lionel Loueke - Black Gold текст песни

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.
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.

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.
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.

Think of all the strength you have in you:
From the blood you carry within you,
Ancient men, powerful men
Built us a civilization.

All the strength,
All the blood,
That you carry,
Ancient men,
Powerful men,
In you
Built us a civilization.

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. [x4]

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,
You are Black Gold,
You are,
You are,
You are,
Hold your head up,
Don't give up,
You are Black Gold,
You are,
You are,
Black Gold,
Black Gold, Black Gold, Black Gold.
