“ To be 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 are billion boys and
girls Who are young, gifted
and black, And that's a
fact! Young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our
young There's a world
waiting for you This is a
quest that's just begun
When you feel really low
Yeah, there's a great truth
you should know When
you're young, gifted and
black Your soul's intact
To Be Young, Gifted And Black. ”
