To be young, gifted and black
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black
Open up your heart to what I mean
Cause you know in this whole wide world
Theres a million, A MILLION boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black
And thats a fact
To be young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
Dont you know theres a whole world waiting for you?
Dont you know the quest has just begun for you?
Havent you heard that the joy-
-The joy
-The joy of the day is
That one day that we all be proud to say
That we were young, gifted and black
And its sho nuff where its at
