Black Gold Lyrics - Radio Music Society - 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 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
