Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
When I analyze the stench
To me, it makes a lot of sense
How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier

Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Fight on arrival, fighting for survival

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, win the war for America, yeah

If you know, if you know your history
Then you would know where you're coming from
