Buffalo soldier, dread lock rasta
He 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 dread lock rasta was a buffalo soldier
And he was taken from Africa,
brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Said he was a buffalo soldier,
dread lock 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 hell 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

Said he was a buffalo soldier

Buffalo soldier, dread lock rasta
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Driven from the mainland to the heart
