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

There's a million, A MILLION boys and girls

Who are young, gifted and black

And that's a fact

To be young, gifted and black

We must begin to tell our young

Don't you know there's a whole world waiting for you?

Don't you know the quest has just begun for you?

Haven't 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 it's sho' 'nuff where it's at
