Soulsville |
Black man, born free |
At least that’s the way it’s supposed to be |
Chains that binds him are hard to see |
Unless you take this walk with me |
Place where he lives has got plenty of names |
Slums, ghetto and black belt, they are one and the same |
And I call it «Soulsville» |
Any kind of job is hard to find |
That means an increase in the welfare line |
Crime rate is rising too |
If you are hungry, what would you do? |
Rent is two months past due and the building that’s falling apart |
Little boy needs a pair of shoes and this is only a part of Soulsville |
Some of the brothers' got plenty of cash |
Tricks on the corner, gonna see to that |
Some like to smoke and some like to blow |
Some are even strung out on a fifty dollar Jones |
Some are trying to ditch reality by getting so high |
Only to find out you can never touch the sky |
'Cause your hoods are in Soulsville, oh yeah |
Every Sunday morning, I can hear the old sisters say |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, trust in the Lord to make a way, oh yeah |
I hope that He hear their prayers 'cause deep in their souls they believe |
Someday He’ll put an end to all this misery that we have in Soulsville |
Oh yeah, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville |
