Lyrics

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
 Start 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
 Start marching on time
 You better make up your mind
 We're gonna leave you behind
 ♪
 Oh, make up your mind
 Start 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
 My kids could take it more if I could feed 'em
 We got to stay
 Black enough for you
 I gotta, gotta stay black
 Black enough for you
 Freedom
 I hope I know it all
 I could get more from looking at the choke by force
 Trying, trying, I'm trying my best not to
 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-)
