paroles de chanson Am I Black Enough for You? - Billy Paul

Am I black enough for you?
Am I black enough for you?
Am I black enough for you?
Am I black enough for you?

We're gonna move on up
One by one
We ain't gonna stop
Until the work is done

Am I black enough?
Black enough for you?
Am I black?
Black enough for you?

We're gonna move on up
Two by two
And this whole world
Is gonna be brand new

Am I black enough for you?
Am I black enough for you?

Get in line
Stop marching in time
You better make up your mind
We're gonna leave you behind

We're gonna move on up
Three by three
We gotta get rid of poverty
I got to stay black
Black enough for you
I got to stay black
Black enough for you

We're gonna move on up
Four by four
We ain't never gonna suffer no more

I got to stay black
Black enough for you
I got to stay black
Black enough for you
Get in line
Stop marching on time
You better make up your mind
We're gonna leave you behind

Oh make up your mind
Stop marching on time
Get in line
You better make up your mind

We're gonna get on up
Five by five
And this whole world
Is gonna come alive
Am I black?
Black enough for you?
Am I black enough for you?

We're gonna move on up
Six by six
I gotta use my mind
Instead of my fists
Am I black?
Black enough for you?
Am I black?
Black enough for you?

We're gonna move on up
Seven by seven
We're God's children
And we got to get to Heaven
Am I black enough for you?
Am I black enough for you?

We're gonna move on up
Eight by eight
Without no witness
We ain't too late
Am I black?
Black enough for you?
Am I black?
Black enough for you?

Hmm freedom, freedom
It got to be spended
I could take it no
If I could spend it one time
Freedom, I had to let them lead em

We got to stay
Black enough for you
I gotta, gotta black
Black enough for you
Lead 'em
I hope to know it all
I get more for living by the four by four
Trying, trying, trying my best
I hate you, but you're taking the thing that's her in nature
I'm not weak and I ain't too strong
But I've been, I've been alone too long
Got to, got to stay black- black enough
I gotta stay black enough for you
I gotta stay 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 you?
Am I black enough for you?
(Am I black enough for you?) gotta get on up
Embark on
(Am I black enough for you?) two by two and three by three
(Am I black enough for you?) and four by four
And I could do that before I can't take no more
We're gonna get on up, five by five (am I black enough for you?)
Six by six and seven by seven (am I black enough for you?)
And eight by eight, we gotta (am I black enough for you?)
We gotta get up (am I black enough-)
