[Am]Buffalo soldier,

survival is the sentiment
Narcotics is the [G]only way you know
that I'm a [F]measure it!
[Am]They say that we are in a post [G]Obama era
Well exactly what that mean? you
[F]needn't make it clearer
Does [Am]it mean that the rich are gonna
finally start to [G]share up
Re- proportion the wealth and make
things [Am]fairer
Asking God "why [G]do poor people suffer"
but now I'm such a hypocrite,
The Rolls Royce mufflers.
[Am]In the gutters nobody never loved us
I am just the [G]result of pain and hunger!
