Buffalo Soldier



Buffalo Soldier

If you know your history
 Then you will know where I'm coming from
 Jam to Jah
 Rhasta enlighten man
 Out in the bush where fish is biting
 Yet we are hiding for self discovery
 All of life is one big mystery
 Just like Robert Nesta Marley & Peter Tosh
 We can all come together love each other with peace
 Smoke a spliff
 Gonjah if your fond of
 Take it all in a new way to begin
 Your just a buffalo soldier
 Dread La Rhasta
 Fight on arrival
 Fighting for survival
 Burning Spear, Aswad & Bunny Wailer
 Do me a favor
 Tighteous tones that savor
 Sold them from Africa brought to America
 Live long Ziggy and the Melody Makers
 All the other group are real cheap fakers
