[Intro]

Wonder

[Chorus]

They still gon' call me a buffalo soldier

Gave 'em my city, got older, old and wise

Diamonds got colder

As I look down on what I done put on my hands and my shoulders

I said, I live in south for the ones that didn't make it

I paved this all, and I didn't have to fake it

Came out the mud, cause' I knew I couldn't take it

I did this right here for the ones with no nation

I'm a buffalo soldier

Gave 'em my city, got older, old and wise

Diamonds got colder

As I look down on what I done put on my hands and my shoulders

I said, I live in south for the ones that didn't make it

I paved this all, and I didn't have to fake it

Came out the mud, cause' I knew I couldn't take it

I did this right here for the ones with no nation

[Post Chorus]

For the ones with no nation

For the ones that didn't make it, make it, make it

For the ones with no nation

[Verse]

The day I came in, came with impact

Thinking your king, but I've been that

I stepped through the door with my head held high

The opps tryna kill me and pick up my pie

[?] and they pick out your pot

And they just want you 'round for some handouts

I knew from the day I was born, I was different

I just taught myself how to stand out

I went to myself, had to stand on my feet, all on my own

Had to change out the drip, had to get into Rick

Ever since I've been rocking Ramones

For a while, man, I had to lay low like I'm stitch

Why all these man won't treat me like a intricate man

They don't get it, but I don't give a damn

This was a part of the plan

[Chorus]

They still gon' call me a buffalo soldier

Gave 'em my city, got older, old and wise

Diamonds got colder

As I look down on what I done put on my hands and my shoulders

I said, I live in south for the ones that didn't make it

I paved this all, and I didn't have to fake it

Came out the mud, cause' I knew I couldn't take it

I did this right here for the ones with no nation

Buffalo soldier

Gave 'em my city, got older, old and wise

Diamonds got colder

As I look down on what I done put on my hands and my shoulders

I said, I live in south for the ones that didn't make it

I paved this all, and I didn't have to fake it

Came out the mud, cause' I knew I couldn't take it

I did this right here for the ones with no nation

[Post Chorus]

For the ones with no nation

For the ones that didn't make it

For the ones with no nation

For the ones that didn't make it
