Paul, Billy - 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 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 in time
You better make up your mind
We're gonna leave you behind

Make up your mind
Stop marching in 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 gotta 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

Freedom, freedom
It got to be spended
I could take it
If I could spend it one time

We got to stay
Black enough for you
I gotta, gotta black
Black enough for you...

    What a fake. Everything about XIAIO to him is about taking. Who is going to take credit as an AEROSMITH? Who is the Air Force creating credited to? Will the engineering be credited to Empire Builders or the MASONS? What about the Tanzanian fallen? What memorial and the truth about the ZYGOT? Was he there? What an insult. "Am I black enough for you?" Being sung to black American women? What about black African women? And as far as insults go

  6. B.... O....

    Some would argue whites can’t get down. I can prove that wrong

  20. W.... B....

    Those REAL SOUL DUDES, bought this in the 70s, when it came out, or the 80s, if they spent time in d white folks prisons, lol. You shouldn't of needed to see a fucking film before you heard of such a bombastic track.

  31. T.... J....

    straight up gangsta soundzzz

  32. 2.... ....

    yo this song is so good i cant stop playing it Black lighting very good show

  33. T.... Q....

    You mean this song has actually become popular once again?  Wow!  Guess Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff were correct in promoting this song after "Me And Mrs. Jones" over "I'm Gonna Make It This Time".   Guess that's why they're Gamble & Huff.

    T.... Q....

    Nah, they really weren't. Billy Paul should've been way bigger than he was. He got robbed.

  34. k.... g....

    I never knew Billy Paul sung this! So he's not a 1 hit wonder after all. (Me and Mrs. Jones)

    k.... g....

    You musta never heard "Lets make a baby".. wooo

    k.... g....

    This was not a hit lol.

    k.... g....

    Great song, but it sadly wasn't a hit. Let's make a baby was the closest he had to a second hit.

    k.... g....

    Check out Billy Paul's WAR OF THE GODS CD. Just trying to turn you on to some GOOD MUSIC from 1973.

  35. D.... S....

    AMI BLACK ENOUGH for YOU?
    😎🍷💋👅

    D.... S....

    yes ma'am!

  36. B.... B....

    Cleveland Brown...lllmao

  37. J.... C....

    When I hear this guy sing it reminds me of Kermit the frog

  38. R.... b....

    it's Sad that people only know about old music when its on tv shows or movies i guess people are too lazy to find music on their own

    R.... b....

    so damn true!!! i LIVED this stuff!

    R.... b....

    It is but it isn't, I was raised on this music & I raised my kids on it. However not everyday was exposed to it, because they may have only been allowed to listen to gospel. I know ppl like that or they are a younger generation like my kids & their parents didn't listen to it.

    R.... b....

    @Spirtual Gangsta They're lost.

  39. K.... K....

    I hope they did Billy Paul right and paid him his money for using this song not like those thieves that stole his Mrs. Jones song where he had to sue to get his money.

  40. M.... M....

    Black enough black enough for ya

  41. C.... S....

    ToddInTheShadows!

  42. G.... S....

    I feel like this is the song that was being paraphrased for "Steppin' To The Bad Side" from DreamGirls.

  43. S.... ....

    Scandal S06E06

  44. D.... C....

    Schoolly D brought me...

  45. Q.... C....

    What does the CW know about old school music? ⚡️#blacklightning

  46. T.... N....

    I found where Schooly D sampled this from. Now my life is complete. Almost anyway. The original is funkeh beyond belief.

    T.... N....

    Top Notch Those horns from Soul Power by Maseo and the Macks were sampled also

    T.... N....

    @Roy Williamson I would believe that because it's one powerful track. The horns, keys and all of its entirety. 👍

  47. V.... S....

    RIP to my God Father, Billy PAUL, say hello to Blance!

    V.... S....

    Damn, I didn’t know Billy passed away. I haven’t seen him in years but was in a program with him and his wife Blanch(a beautiful and loving woman). He was a true cool cat.

  48. D.... C....

    ATLANTA?

  49. A.... P....

    mom told me to listen happy mothers day 2018

  50. N.... C....

    Scandal brought me here

  51. S.... D....

    The song is alright, but at the time it came out it was a bad move by the record company, trying to make Billy Paul's image more threatening and masculine after "Me and Mrs Jones" came out, i like the way it builds on certain sections but it gets very repetitive.

  52. d.... 8....

    I remember this from 1973.

  53. z.... ....

    who's black lightning? is his sidekick called colored thunder?

  54. J.... -....

    vanguard of the revolution

  55. B.... H....

    ThANks Blk ⚡️... didn’t know Billy Paul got down like this!!!

  56. R.... B....

    This song was sample by cross movement the Last cypha history album

  57. C.... D....

    I haven't actually seen Black lightning, but it's good somebodies finally figured out the potential of Nostalgic Blaxplotation.

  58. J.... A....

    Yep Im one with everyone. BLACK LIGHTNING 😎🤘💣🎶🎵🎧🎷☇🌩⛈☈

  59. E.... R....

    I didn't know about this being on the Black Lightening soundtrack. I came here to school my 10 yr old on a classic track.

    E.... R....

    Now, this is good parenting.

  60. N.... R....

    I got the elevator for you.
    Black Lightning: I'll take the stairs. Just getting back into this. A brotha needs all the exercise he can get.
    Or something like that I recall. Anyways this song makes me think of the black Lightning my man scene as well.

  68. s.... ....
