We Are Young Gifted & Black (我们年轻，有才华，就如黑马) - Common (凡夫俗子)/Lalah Hathaway (拉拉·哈撒韦)[00:00:00]

Written by：Nina Simone/Irvine Weldon/Robert Glasper/Lonnie Lynn[00:00:00]

Young gifted and black[00:00:01]

To be young gifted and black[00:00:04]

Young gifted and black[00:00:10]

To be young gifted and black[00:00:14]

To be young gifted and black and own it[00:00:19]

It's more than a moment[00:00:21]

It's like the sun rose took you donut[00:00:23]

Before we was trappin' we was trapped in[00:00:24]

Sun in the whips kissin' our black skin[00:00:27]

Strange fruit hanging smell the jasmine[00:00:29]

Roger Coletrane listen to jazz then[00:00:32]

Back then[00:00:34]

We came with names like James Fatima Nina King dreamer redeemer of the people[00:00:37]

Songs for the hebrew original spiritual content[00:00:42]

You can smell it when it's God sent[00:00:46]

We keep it movin' everyday we the target[00:00:48]

The young gifted and black on the market[00:00:50]

'Cause of that we pay with our lives[00:00:53]

Or either catch the charges but yo[00:00:55]

The Goddess is the Gods is[00:00:57]

Young gifted and black[00:00:58]

Young gifted and black[00:01:00]

To be young gifted and black[00:01:03]

Young gifted and black[00:01:09]

To be young gifted and black[00:01:13]

Mississippi got down[00:01:18]

Ferguson got down[00:01:20]

Staten island got down[00:01:21]

Baltimore got down[00:01:22]

America damn[00:01:24]

I tell you who I am[00:01:26]

But you don't understand[00:01:27]

Cross the waters I swim[00:01:28]

Son and daughters of the land[00:01:29]

Yeah we the black sheep but you slaughterin' the lamb[00:01:30]

You try to silence but your sirens sounds of violence[00:01:33]

Do nothing but provide us[00:01:36]

Evolution of revolution retribution that's due us[00:01:38]

The old ways of the US it ain't the new us[00:01:40]

Tell 'em we the stars they can't shoot us[00:01:43]

Prisoners of wars you can no longer recruit us[00:01:45]

Salvation is due us[00:01:49]

Even before we came God knew us[00:01:50]

God knew us[00:01:54]

Yeah God know us[00:01:56]

Young gifted and black[00:01:58]

To be young gifted and black[00:02:02]

Young gifted and black[00:02:08]

To be young gifted and black[00:02:12]

Young gifted and black[00:02:18]

To be young gifted and black[00:02:21]

Young gifted and black[00:02:27]

To be young gifted and black[00:02:31]
