Am I Black Enough For You? - Billy Paul

Am I Black Enough For You? Lyrics

Am I black enough for you
Am I black enough for you
Am I black enough for you
Am I black enough for youWe're gonna move on up
One by one
We ain't gonna stop
Until the work is doneAm I black enough
Black enough for you
Am I black
Black enough for youWe're gonna move on up
Two by two
And this whole world
Is gonna be brand newAm I black enough for you
Am I black enough for youGet in line
Stop marching in time
You better make up your mind
We're gonna leave you behindWe're gonna move on up
Three by three

We gotta get rid of povertyI got to stay black
Black enough for you
I got to stay black
Black enough for youWe're gonna move on up
Four by four
We ain't never
Gonna suffer no moreI got to stay black
Black enough for you
I got to stay black
Black enough for youGet in line
Stop marching in time
You better make up your mind
We're gonna leave you behindMake up your mind
Stop marching in time
Get in line
You better make up your mindWe're gonna get on up
Five by five
And this whole world
Is gonna come aliveAm I black
Black enough for you
Am I black enough for youWe're gonna move on up
Six by six
I gotta use my mind
Instead of my fistsAm I black
Black enough for you
Am I black
Black enough for youWe're gonna move on up
Seven by seven
We're God's children
And we got to get to HeavenAm I black enough for you
Am I black enough for youWe gotta move on up
Eight by eight
Without no witness
We ain't too lateAm I black
Black enough for you
Am I black
Black enough for youFreedom, freedom
It got to be spended
I could take it
If I could spend it one timeWe got to stay
Black enough for you
I gotta, gotta black
Black enough for you
