Lyrics

0:01Buffalo Soldier
0:08Buffalo Soldier Dreadlock Rasta:
0:15There was a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America
0:24Stolen from Africa brought to America
0:31Fighting on arrival fighting for survival
0:38I mean it when I analyze the stench -
0:44To me it makes a lot of sense:
0:47How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier
0:54And he was taken from Africa brought to America
