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

Then you would know where you coming from

Then you wouldn't have to ask me

Who the heck do I think I am

 Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

 Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America

 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

 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

 Singing woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

 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
