I like the lyric of this song because it inspires in me a big feeling of solidarity and force to fight. The ‘buffalo soldiers’ were african people who was stolen from their land, and brought to the United States to work for the white men. This people gave their beautiful culture to the society, and later had to fight for survive in a society who didn’t appreciate them. This teaches us the importance of to know our past and our ascendance. Sometimes we think that the indians who lived here aren’t good people, but we have to think that they are only trying to defend what was of them much before of our arrive.
Buffalo Soldier
Bob Marley
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 wouldnt have to ask me, Who the eck do I think I am. Im 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. Dreadie, 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 troddin through the land, wo-ho-ooh! Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand, Troddin through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea. Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america; Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta, Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival; Driven from the mainland to the heart of the caribbean.
