Lyrics

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,  There's a million boys and girls Who are young, gifted, and Black And that's a fact You are young, gifted, and Black We must begin to tell our young,  "There's a world waiting for you,  Yours is the quest that's just begun" When you're feeling really low, yeah There's a great truth, that you should know When you're young, gifted, and Black,  Your soul intact How to be young, gifted, and Black Oh, how I long to know the truth There are times when I look back And I am haunted by my youth Oh, but my joy of today Is that we can all be proud to say,  "To be young, gifted, and Black Is where it's at!" "Is where it's at!" "Is where it's at!!!"
