| [00:00.000] | |
| [00:10.000] | Black man, born free |
| [00:14.820] | At least that's the way it's supposed to be |
| [00:19.200] | Chains that bind him are hard to see |
| [00:23.930] | Unless you take this walk with me |
| [00:27.630] | |
| [00:28.620] | Place where he lives |
| [00:32.390] | Got plenty of names ... |
| [00:36.440] | The hood,the projects,the ghetto, |
| [00:41.580] | And they're one and the same |
| [00:44.340] | And I call it ... Soulsville |
| [00:47.060] | |
| [00:55.220] | Any kind of job is hard to find |
| [00:59.660] | That means an increase in the welfare line |
| [01:04.380] | Crime rate is rising, too |
| [01:08.410] | If you were hungry, what would you do? |
| [01:11.830] | |
| [01:13.350] | Rent is two months past due |
| [01:17.220] | On a building that's falling apart |
| [01:22.020] | Little boy needs a pair of shoes |
| [01:25.890] | And this is only a part |
| [01:28.470] | Of life in ... Soulsville |
| [01:34.830] | |
| [01:40.390] | Some of the brothers got plenty of cash |
| [01:44.550] | Users in the crackhouse gonna see to that |
| [01:49.040] | Some like to smoke and some like to blow |
| [01:53.380] | Some are even strung out on a $1000 Jones |
| [01:57.520] | |
| [01:58.190] | They are trying to ditch reality |
| [02:02.920] | By getting so high |
| [02:07.060] | Only to find out |
| [02:10.700] | You can never never touch the sky |
| [02:14.450] | Cause your roots are in ... Soulsville |
| [02:20.110] | |
| [02:25.090] | Every Sunday morning |
| [02:28.900] | You can hear the old sisters sing |
| [02:33.190] | "Hallelujah, Hallelujah, “ |
| [02:37.350] | Trust in the Lord you make a way, oh yeah" |
| [02:42.890] | |
| [02:43.220] | I hope that he hears their prayers |
| [02:47.580] | Because deep in their souls they believe |
| [02:51.940] | Someday he'll put an end to all the misery |
| [02:59.320] | That we have in ... Soulsville |
| [03:02.120] | |
