Lyrics
Buffalo Soldier
Dreadlock Rasta
It 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 Dreadlock Rasta
Was the Buffalo Soldier
And he was taken from Africa
Brought to America
Fighting on arrival
Fighting for survival
Said he 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 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
Why yo yo
Why yo-yo-yo
Why yo yo yo, yo yo-yo yo
Why yo yo
Why yo-yo-yo
Why yo yo yo, yo yo-yo yo
Buffalo Soldier
Troddin' through the land, wo-ho-ooh
Said he would've ran
And make you wanna hang
Troddin' through the land, yeah yeah
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
Singin'
Why yo yo
Why yo-yo-yo
Why yo yo yo, yo yo-yo yo
Why yo yo
Why yo-yo-yo
Why yo yo yo, yo yo-yo yo
Troddin' through San Juan
In the arms of America
Troddin' through Jamaica
A Buffalo Soldier
Fighting on arrival
Fighting for survival
Buffalo Soldier
Dreadlock Rasta
Why yo yo
Why yo-yo-yo
Why yo yo yo, yo yo-yo yo
Why yo yo
Why yo-yo-yo
Why yo yo yo, yo yo-yo yo
