Lyrics of Black Gold (special guest: Algebra Blessett) by Esperanza Spalding,Algebra Blessett,Lionel Loueke
chorus
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
hook
You are Black Gold, Black Gold
You are Black Gold
verse
Now maybe no one else has ever 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
verse
They'll be folks hell-bent on putting you down
Don't get burned
(Don't get burned)
Not necessarily everyone will know your worth
(All 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
verse
Think of all the strength you have in you
Powerful, powerful men
Built us a civilization
chorus
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
verse
You are Black Gold, Black Gold
You are Black Gold
chorus
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 you have
All the blood and the thought you carry
Blood you carry
(Within you)
Ancient men
Powerful men
(Within you)
Built us a civilization
pre-chorus
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
