Black kids ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden? Oh
Black skin full of gold
They want our soul
But they can't take no more
Black team full of soldiers
Made of roses
Like were Eden's crop
This one's for the darkest
Of the darkest (tell em')
We don't float we fly
We're the stars up dancing in the sky
While I'm tripping with the tribe
I know that it's all gon' be alright
Cause
Black kids ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden? Oh
Black kids ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden? Oh
Black kids ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden? Oh
Black kids ain't we golden?
Underdogs
They stay tryna play us
We never lost
We just built a nation
Plaques on walls
From kings, queens we came from
Ancestors happy their works a long way from in vain
Use the sunshine to heal pain
I got sunshine in my veins
I wrote sunshine a loveletter
Cuz she kiss me everyday
That's why my skin ebony
And God called it heavenly
Yeah God called us angels
Black kids feeling hopeless
There is an omen
When the rainbows high
Peace be unto you
Cause there is always someone by your side
Black it dont define you
Let it ground you
But not hold you down
You contain the world
Your powerful (so tell em')
We don't float we fly
We're the stars up dancing in the sky
While I'm tripping with the tribe
I know that it's all gon' be alright
Cause
Black kids ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden? Oh
Black kids ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden? Oh
Black kids ain't we golden?
Black kids ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden? Oh
Black kids ain't we golden?
No you can't come around
If you don't like a little flavor
I'll show you the door
Don't let it hit you on the way out
Cause I'm black and beauiful
And my sisters are perfection in the flesh
I could wish more for a life like all the rest
But why when everybody else is trying to
Catch up, catch up to me
To my people
They love my hair, my smile
Rip off, rip off destory my towers
You scoff, you scoff
We build it up
We don't float we fly
We're the stars up dancing in the sky
While I'm tripping with the tribe
I know that it's
It's gon' be alright
We gon' be alright cause
Black kids ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden? Oh
Black kids ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden? Oh
Black kids ain't we golden?
Ain't we golden?
