0:09Hold your head as high as you can
0:12High enough to see who you are' little man
0:15Life sometimes is cold and cruel
0:18Baby no one else will tell you so remember that
0:20You are Black Gold' Black Gold
0:27You are Black Gold
0:33Now maybe no one else has ever told you so
0:44But you're golden' baby
0:47Black Gold with a diamond soul
0:53Think of all the strength you have in you
0:59From the blood you carry within you
1:02Ancient men' powerful men
1:05Built us a civilization
1:12They'll be folks hell-bent on putting you down
1:18Don't get burned (Don't get burned)
1:23Not necessarily everyone will know your worth
