Am I Black Enough For You?

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
