Hold your head as high as you can,

I love to see you, you are little men

For life sometimes is cold and cruel

Baby, no one else will tell you,

So remember that you are

You are black gold, black gold

You are black gold!

Now maybe no one else has ever told you so

But you're golden, baby, black with a diamond soul

Think of all the strength you have in you

From the blood you carry within you

Ancient men, powerful men

Build us a civilization

There'll be folks, hard time, putting you down

Don't get burn, don't get burn!

Oh, not necessarily everyone will know your world, no, no

Think of all the strength you have in you

From the blood you carry within you

Ancient men, powerful men

Build us a civilization

Think of all the strength you have in you

From the blood you carry within you

Ancient men, powerful men

Build us a civilization

Hold your head as high as you can,

I love to see you, you are little men

For life sometimes is cold and cruel

Baby, no one else will tell you,

So remember that you are

You are black gold, black gold

You are black gold!

Think of all the strength you have in you

From the blood you carry within you

Ancient men, powerful men

Build us a civilization!

Think of all the strength you have in you

From the blood you carry within you

Ancient men, powerful men

Build us a civilization!

Hold your head as high as you can,

I love to see you, you are little men

For life sometimes is cold and cruel

Baby, no one else will tell you,

So remember that you are

You are black gold, black gold

You are black gold!

You are black gold, black gold

You are black gold!

You are black gold, black gold

You are black gold!

You are black gold, black gold

You are black gold!

Hold your head as high as you can,

I love to see you, you are little men

For life sometimes is cold and cruel

Baby, no one else will tell you,

So remember that you are

You are black gold, black gold

You are black gold!
