Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:
It was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america
Stolen from africa, brought to america:

I mean it, when I analyse the stench
To me it make a lot of sense
How did dreadlock rasta was buffalo soldier

And he was taking from africa
Brought to america
Fighting on arrival,fighting for survival
Say it 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 heck do you think I am

Im just a buffalo soldier in the heart of america
Stolen from africa, brought to america

Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america
