Buffalo soldier, dread lock 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 dread lock 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, dread lock 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 '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 the buffalo soldier win the war for America

Said he, "Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy yoy yoy

Driven from the mainland to the heart of the Caribbean

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy yoy yoy"
