Young Gifted & Black Lyrics

Uh

Love Peace

Unity Freedom

Us

Young gifted black

Black leaders black excellency

Black nobles black kingdoms black is legendary

Black is the future black is the past it's everything

Beginning and the end the Adam and the Eve

The original man look just like you and me

We the originals man go do the history

The history book cooked and filled with lies

They try to decimate our history for our demise

But we stand on the shoulders of some giants

Learn from the wisest the same state of mind

That designed the pyramids and invented written and mathematics

First kings and queens way before the British had it

That's no cap just all facts they designed a system of hate to make you think backwards

But this is where the trap ends

As a child of the Most High through these verses I shall remove the curses

Perfect

In the whole world you know

There's a million boys and girls yeah

There's a great truth that you should know

When you're young gifted and black

You're a king

You're a prince

You're a queen you are everything

You the reason why sweet mother Nina sings

Make our ancestors proud be they wildest dream

I know how tough and how rough and how hard it seem

Living in a world filled with hatred and vanity

Got me feeling like where's a place for you and me gifted and black

Youth of society still can't nothing stop we

Set your biggest place of boulders still can't block we

Cuz I'm a Nativ Child I'll shut your block down

The presence of a Zulu scares a cop now

That's why they see us and feel threatened to fire shots now

Or maybe it's just hate but we can't relate

We to busy being great homie we the greatest

Couple hundred years now still you can't fade us

I know it gives you the chills haters

In the whole world you know

There's a million boys and girls yeah

There's a great truth that you should know

When you're young gifted and black

Can't stop the shine yeah

They can't stop the shine oh

They can't stop the shine no

You can't the shining

They can't stop the shine yeah

You can't stop the shine oh

Could never the stop shine yeah

You can't stop the shine oh

They can't stop the shinning

You can't stop the shine oh

Could never stop the shinning yeah

You can't stop the shine oh

They can't stop the shinning whoa

Can't stop the shine oh

Can't stop the shinning yeah

You can't stop the shine oh

To be young gifted and black
