[00:01.67].
[00:10.76]Buffalo soldier, no I'm not a rasta
[00:12.89]I used to be a mobster burning down the block
[00:15.45]Buffalo soldier, no I'm not a rasta
[00:17.89]I used to be a mobster burning down the block
[00:20.45].
[00:20.76]Don't judge a book by the cover
[00:22.51]Every single being in this world is your brother
[00:25.07]When I lost and uncover
[00:27.13]Ancient words that teach me to love ya!
[00:30.14]So we burn to return to the mother
[00:32.51]And we yearn to unlearn all they told ya about yourself
[00:35.89]Who you are, what you should be,
[00:38.51]I'm gonna be free, leave it up to me!
[00:40.88].
[00:41.08]Raise your eyes to the sky, look out through the night
[00:43.07]Feel alright!
[00:45.76]Stars burn bright, high like the moonlight
[00:47.95]You'll be alright!
[00:49.95].

[01:00.95]Buffalo soldier, no I'm not a rasta
[01:03.32]I used to be a mobster burning up the block
[01:05.82].
[01:06.14]This is the medicine, I'm out like the Bedouin
[01:08.39]This knife I'm burying, this life I'm treasuring
[01:10.69].
[01:11.15]Buffalo soldier, no I'm not a rasta
[01:13.47]
[01:16.21]Buffalo soldier, no I'm not a rasta
[01:18.96].
[01:20.78]I went running away to the cave
[01:23.02]Went in a slave and came out all flames
[01:25.46]I went running away for the hills
[01:28.13]Back to my roots and I'm running still
[01:30.51]But now I'm running to face my dreams
[01:33.14]Find my place and what it means
[01:35.51]Find yourself and no one else
[01:37.88]You have to leave it up to me, leave it up to me!
[01:41.63].

[02:01.53]Buffalo soldier, no I'm not a rasta
[02:04.03]I used to be a mobster burning up the block
[02:06.46].

[02:11.28].
[02:11.71]Buffalo soldier, no I'm not a rasta
[02:16.66]Buffalo soldier, no I'm not a rasta
[02:19.53].
[02:22.16]Buffalo soldier, you know I'm not a rasta
[02:24.34]I used to be a mobster burning down the block
[02:26.78]I shot the sheriff, the DA, and the deputy
[02:29.28]Sorry Al Sharpton, I don't need you to lecture me
[02:31.90]Maybe I'll stop talking about guns
[02:34.15]When you talk about the funds that they cut for the youth
[02:36.78]Let's cut to the truth, ain't enough for the youth
[02:39.22]So tell me how you judge me til you're stuck in the shoes, man!
[02:42.15]Where the Congressmen, where all the Senators?
[02:44.46]They're thinking about their green, not the color of the President?
[02:46.96]This is just a relevance, survival is the sentiment
[02:49.41]Narcotics is the only way you know that I'ma measure it!
[02:52.12]They say that we are in a post Obama era
[02:54.50]Well exactly what that mean? You needn't make it clearer
[02:56.88]Does it mean that the rich are gonna finally start to share up
[02:59.73]Re-proportion the wealth and make things fairer
[03:02.11]Asking God "why do poor people suffer"
[03:04.54]But now I'm such a hypocrite, the Rolls Royce mufflers.
[03:07.23]In the gutters nobody never loved us
[03:09.80]I am just the result of pain and hunger!
[03:12.17].
