《Soulsville》歌词

[00:00:11] Black man, born free

[00:00:14] At least that's the way it's supposed to be

[00:00:19] Chains that binds him are hard to see

[00:00:24] Unless you take this walk with me

[00:00:25]

[00:00:28] Place where he lives is God plenty of names

[00:00:38] Slums, ghetto and black belt, they are one and the same

[00:00:44] And I call it "Soulsville"

[00:00:55] Any kind of job is hard to find

[00:00:59] That means an increase in the welfare line

[00:01:04] Crime rate is rising too

[00:01:08] If you are hungry, what would you do?

[00:01:13] Rent is two months past due and the building that's falling apart

[00:01:22] Little boy needs a pair of shoes and this is only a part of Soulsville

[00:01:31] Some of the brothers' got plenty of cash

[00:01:44] Tricks on the corner, gonna see to that

[00:01:49] Some like to smoke and some like to blow

[00:01:53] Some are even strung out on a fifty dollar Jones

[00:02:00] Some are trying to ditch reality by getting so high

[00:02:07] Only to find out you can never touch the sky

[00:02:14] 'Cause your hoods are in Soulsville, oh yeah

[00:02:25] Every Sunday morning, I can hear the old sisters say

[00:02:33] Hallelujah, Hallelujah, trust in the Lord to make a way, oh yeah

[00:02:43] I hope that He hear their prayers 'cause deep in their souls they believe

[00:02:52] Someday He'll put an end to all this misery that we have in Soulsville

[00:03:02] Oh yeah, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville
