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 survival



IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY

YOU WOULD KNOW WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM

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

Win the war for America



Said he was a Buffalo Soldier

Win the war for America

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

Driven from the mainland

To the heart of the caribbean...
