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!
