Black man, born free At least that's the way it's supposed to be Chains that bind him are hard to see Unless you take this walk with me
Place where he lives Got plenty of names ... The hood,the projects,the ghetto, And they're one and the same And I call it ... Soulsville
Any kind of job is hard to find That means an increase in the welfare line Crime rate is rising, too If you were hungry, what would you do?
Rent is two months past due On a building that's falling apart Little boy needs a pair of shoes And this is only a part Of life in ... Soulsville
Some of the brothers got plenty of cash Users in the crackhouse gonna see to that Some like to smoke and some like to blow Some are even strung out on a $1000 Jones
They are trying to ditch reality By getting so high Only to find out You can never never touch the sky Cause your roots are in ... Soulsville
Every Sunday morning You can hear the old sisters sing "Hallelujah, Hallelujah, “ Trust in the Lord you make a way, oh yeah"
I hope that he hears their prayers Because deep in their souls they believe Someday he'll put an end to all the misery That we have in ... Soulsville
