Letra da música "To Be Young, Gifted and Black"


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,
to what I mean

'Cause you know
In the whole wide world
There's a million,
A million boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black
That's a fact, oh yes, it is

To be young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
Don't you know
That there's a whole world,
a whole world waiting for you

Haven't you heard the quest has just begun?

Don't you know the joy, the joy,
the joy of the today
Is the day that we all
That we all be proud to say
That we are young, gifted, gifted and black
and its sho'nuff where its at

Oh yeah
Do you believe it?
I said its sho'nuff where its at
Oooho yeah
Can I get somebody help to say its sho'nuff?
(Gifted, gifted)
Uuuhh, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Don't you know its sho'nuff?
(Gifted, gifted)
Ooooho yeah!
I ain't trying to bring down nobody else
But I know its sho'nuff
(Gifted, gifted)
Ooooooh, yeah!
I don't think you believe it
Uuuhh! Uuuh! Yeah!
(Gifted, gifted)
Can I say it again? Uuuhh!
(Gifted, gifted)
Yeah, yeah!
That's all! Yeah
I said its sho'nuff


compositores da letra: WELDON IRVINE, NINA SIMONE
