Black Gold (with Algebra Blessett)

Black Gold -Esperanza Spalding
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 ever told you so
But youre 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
Builders of civilization
Theyll be folks hell-bent on putting you down
Dont get burned

Cause not necessarily everyone will know your worth
