Bob Marley - Buffalo Soldier

Buffalo Soldier Lyric

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
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 wouldnt have to ask me,Who the eck 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
Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,Woy yoy yoy yoy!
Buffalo soldier troddin through the land, wo-ho-ooh!
Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand,Troddin through the land,
yea-hea, yea-ea.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.Singing,
woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,Woy yoy yoy yoy,
yoy yoy-yoy yoy!Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy!
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
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy!

Song Note : "The Buffalo Soldiers were a segregated regiment of black cavalry fighters during the American campaign to rid the West of "Indians" so that "civilized" white people could gain the lands used by Native Americans. Ironically, many of the soldiers were slaves taken from Africa. Bob Marley gives a small history lesson as a protest song about the black man's role in building the country that continues to oppress him."
