Soulsville |
| Black man, born free |
| At least that’s the way it’s supposed to be |
| Chains that bind him are hard to see |
| Unless you take this walk with me |
| Place where he lives, it’s got plenty of names |
| Slum, Ghetto and Black belt, and they’re one and the same |
| And I call it Soulsville |
| Soulsville |
| Any kind of job is hard to find |
| That means an increase in the welfare line |
| Crime rate is rising too |
| If you were hungry, what would you do? |
| Rent is two months past due |
| On a building that’s falling apart |
| Little boy needs a pair of shoes |
| And this is only a part of life in Soulsville |
| 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 $ 50 Jones |
| Some are trying to ditch reality, by getting so high |
| Only to find out, you can never reach the sky |
| When your roots are in Soulsville |
| Soulsville |
| Every Sunday morning, you can hear the sisters sing |
| «Hallelujah, Hallelujah, trust in the Lord to make a way, «Oh I hope that He hears their prayers |
| Because deep in their souls they believe |
| That one day He’ll put an end |
| To all the misery that we have in Soulsville |
| Soulsville |
| Soulsville |
| Soulsville |
| Soulsville |
| Soulsville |
| Soulsville |
