Album : Black Gold (special guest: Algebra Blessett)

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
Esperanza Spalding Black Gold Special Guest Algebra Blessett Lyrics
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
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
You are Black Gold Black Gold
You are Black Gold
You are Black Gold Black Gold
You are Black Gold
You are Black Gold Black Gold
You are Black Gold
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
