"Buffalo Soldier"
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.
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.
Said he was a Buffalo
Soldier, Dreadlock 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 a Buffalo Soldier
win the war for America.

No Woman No
Cry
Cause
I remember when we used to sit
In
a government yard in Trenchtown
Observing
the hypocrites
Mingle
with the good people we meet
Good
friends we have, Oh, good friends we have lost
Along
the way
In
this great future,
You
can't forget your past
So
dry your tears, I seh
No
woman no cry
No
woman no cry
Little
darling, don't shed no tears
No
woman no cry
Said
I remember when we use to sit
In
the government yard in Trenchtown
And
then Georgie would make the fire lights
I
seh, log would burnin' through the nights
Then
we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of
which i'll share with you
My
feet is my only carriage
And
so i've got to push on thru,
Oh,
while i'm gone
Everything
's gonna be alright
Everything
's gonna be alright
No
woman no cry
No
woman no cry
I
seh little darlin'
Don't
shed no tears
No
woman no cry.
One Drop
Feel
it in the one drop
And
we'll still find time to rap
We're
making the one stop
The
generation gap
So
feel this drum beat
As
it beats within
Playing
a rhythm resisting against the system
Ooh-we
I know JAH'd never let us down
Pull
your rights from wrong
I
know JAH'd never let us down
Oh
no! oh no! oh no!
They
made the world so hard
Everyday
we got to keep on fighting
Everyday
the people are dying
From
hunger and starvation, lamentation
But
read it in Revelation
You'll
find your redemption
And
then you give us the the teaching of His Majesty
For
we no want no devil philosophy
Feel
it on the one drop
And
we still find time to rap
We're
making the one stop
And
we fill in the gap
So
fell this drum beat
As
it beats within, playing a rhythm
Fighting
against ism and skism

"Redemption Song"
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.

These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from
mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free
our minds.
Have no fear for atomic
energy,
'Cause none of them can stop
the time.
How long shall they kill our
prophets,
While we stand aside and
look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of
it:
We've got to fulfil de book.
