Buffalo Soldier Lyrics

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
I mean it, when I analyze the stench -
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier

[Chorus]
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta -
Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Buffalo Soldier!

About

This song bio is unreviewed

One of the only non hip-hop covers on Vanilla Ice Is Back!, this track is a cover of Bob Marley’s song Buffalo Soldier, a song about the black soldiers of the U.S. Army’s 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments during the Indian War, and they were often referred to as “Buffalo Soldiers”.

In this cover, Ice uses the Autotune effect on his voice.
