[00:00:00] Soulsville - Isaac Hayes

[00:00:00] Written by：Isaac Hayes

[00:00:10] Black man born free

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

[00:00:18] Chains that binds him are hard to see

[00:00:23] Unless you take this walk with me

[00:00:28] Place where he lives

[00:00:31] Is God plenty of names

[00:00:36] Slums ghetto and black belt

[00:00:40] They are one and the same

[00:00:43] And I call it Soulsville

[00:00:54] Any kind of job is hard to find

[00:00:58] That means an increase

[00:01:00] In the welfare line

[00:01:02] Crime rate is rising too

[00:01:07] If you are hungry

[00:01:09] What would you do

[00:01:12] Rent is two months past due and

[00:01:16] The building that's falling apart

[00:01:20] Little boy needs a pair of shoes

[00:01:25] And this is only a part of Soulsville

[00:01:38] Some of the brothers' got plenty of cash

[00:01:43] Tricks on the corner gonna see to that

[00:01:47] Some like to smoke

[00:01:49] And some like to blow

[00:01:51] Some are even strung out

[00:01:53] On a fifty dollar Jones

[00:01:56] Some are trying to ditch

[00:01:58] Reality by getting so high

[00:02:05] Only to find out you

[00:02:09] Can never touch the sky

[00:02:12] 'Cause your hoods are

[00:02:13] In Soulsville oh yeah

[00:02:23] Every Sunday morning

[00:02:26] I can hear the old sisters say

[00:02:31] Hallelujah Hallelujah

[00:02:35] Trust in the Lord to make a way oh yeah

[00:02:41] I hope that He hear their prayers 'cause

[00:02:45] Deep in their souls they believe

[00:02:50] Someday He'll put an end to all

[00:02:55] This misery that we have in Soulsville

[00:03:00] Oh yeah Soulsville Soulsville

[00:03:24] Soulsville Soulsville Soulsville
