Buffalo Soldier

Buffalo Soldier

Dreadlocked 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 dreadlocked Rasta'

Was a Buffalo Soldier

And he was taken from Africa

Brought to America

Fighting on arrival

Fighting for survival

Said it was a Buffalo Soldier

Dreadlocked Rasta'

Buffalo Soldier

In the heart of America

If you know your history

Then you would know where you're coming from

Then you wouldn't have to ask me

Who the heck do I think I am

I'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

In the war for America

Singing, woy-yoy-yoy, woy-yoy-yoy-yoy

Trodding through the land, yeah

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier

In the war for America

Buffalo Soldier

Dreadlocked Rasta'

To the heart of the Caribbean
