The song is a testament of unity peace love that we should have for ourselves! We should have more love respect for our black queens and elders they are the baby makers and way makers of any day and age the future of generations come from a woman who came from a grand mother speaking wise words we all can learn for a elder who has seen summers many seasons many moons and sunsets lived through there fair share of regrets only to tell wisdom 1+1 will always equal 2 one -1 will always equal what when 2 or 3 gather in his name he is in the mist the father has always been with our people from each and every one of our born day to the last breath we take in love and in faith of the poisonous life we think is cool in our youth till we come into knowledge of the right mind honest and true righteous path.

My Mentor, Weldon Irvine (R.I.P) wrote these lyrics. Actually, the original version belongs to the co-author, Nina Simone (R.I.P). Thank You

To be young black and gifted is great there is some gift in everyone most time when blacks are born they come here in pain because of the parents we as black people need to be strong and find ourselves if you have a problem seek help don't bring your gifted born into a world already crazy this song is great RIP Donny I love this song.

As a British Man I prefer the Bob & Marcia version. It's more up beat and optimistic rather than blues\soul. I feel this version is being stretched out and over done.
