Buffalo Soldier |
| Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta: |
| There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america, |
| Stolen from africa, brought to america, |
| Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival. |
| I mean it, when I analyze the stench — |
| To me it makes a lot of sense: |
| How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier, |
| And he was taken from africa, brought to america, |
| Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival. |
| Said he was a buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta — |
| Buffalo soldier in the heart of america. |
| If you know your history, |
| Then you would know where you coming from, |
| Then you wouldnt have to ask me, |
| Who the eck do I think I am. |
| Im just a buffalo soldier in the heart of america, |
| Stolen from africa, brought to america, |
| Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival; |
| Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america. |
