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 thatYou are Black Gold, Black Gold
You are Black GoldNow 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

They'll be folks hell-bent on putting you down
Don't get burned
Not necessarily everyone will know your worth
