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 survivalI mean it, when I analyze these things
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 survivalSaid he was a Buffalo Soldier, dreadlock Rasta
Buffalo Soldier, in the heart of AmericaIf you know your history
Then you would know where you coming from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Who the heck do I think I amI'm 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 AmericaSaid he was a, woe yoy yoy, woe woe yoy yoy
Woe yoy yoy yo, yo yo woy yo, woe yoy yoyWoe yoe yoe, woe woe yoe yoe
