Yeah
Yeah, ay-yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah
Young, gifted, and black
Oh, what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted, and black
Open your heart to what I mean
In the whole world, you know (ooh, ooh, ooh)
There are a billion boys and girls
Who are young, gifted, and black
And that's a fact
Young, gifted, and black
We must begin to tell our young
There's a world waiting for you
This is a quest that's just begun
When you're feeling really low (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh, there's a truth that you should know
When you're young, gifted, and black
Your soul's intact
Oh, yeah
Mm, hmm-mm, yeah, oh
Young, gifted and black
Oh, how I long to know the truth, know the truth
There are times when I look back
And I am haunted by my youth
Oh, but my joy of today (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Is that we can be proud to say
To be young, gifted, and black
Gifted and black
Is where it's at
Yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, mm-mm, mm
Ooh, alright, yeah
Young, gifted, and black
Oh, what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted, and black
Open your heart to what I mean
In the whole world, you know (ooh, ooh, ooh)
There are a billion boys and girls
Who are young, gifted, and black
And that's the fact
Young, young, gifted, and black
We must begin to tell our young
There's a world, there's a world, waiting for you
This is a quest that's just begun
And when you're feeling really low
There's a great truth that you should know
When you're young, gifted, and black
Your soul's intact
Your soul's intact
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Your soul's intact
Your soul's intact, oh
