Soulsville(Live) - Isaac Hayes[00:00:00]

Black man born free[00:00:38]

At least that's the way it's supposed to be[00:00:41]

Chains that binds him are hard to see[00:00:45]

Unless you take this walk with me[00:00:49]

Place where he lives is God plenty of names[00:00:54]

Slums ghetto and black belt [00:01:00]

They are one and the same[00:01:05]

And I call it Soulsville"[00:01:08]

Any kind of job is hard to find[00:01:17]

That means an increase in the welfare line[00:01:21]

Crime rate is rising too[00:01:25]

If you are hungry what would you do [00:01:29]

Rent is two months past due[00:01:34]

And the building that's falling apart[00:01:37]

Little boy needs a pair of shoes[00:01:41]

And this is only a part of Soulsville[00:01:45]

Some of the brothers' got plenty of cash[00:01:57]

Tricks on the corner gonna see to that[00:02:01]

Some like to smoke and some like to blow[00:02:05]

Some are even strung out on a fifty dollar Jones[00:02:09]

Some are trying to ditch reality by getting so high[00:02:15]

Only to find out you can never touch the sky[00:02:22]

'Cause your hoods are in Soulsville oh yeah[00:02:28]

Every Sunday morning [00:02:38]

I can hear the old sisters say[00:02:40]

Hallelujah Hallelujah [00:02:45]

Trust in the Lord to make a way oh yeah[00:02:48]

I hope that He hear their[00:02:54]

Prayers 'cause deep in their souls they believe[00:02:56]

Someday He'll put an end to[00:03:01]

All this misery that we have in Soulsville[00:03:05]

Oh yeah Soulsville Soulsville [00:03:11]

Soulsville Soulsville Soulsville[00:03:35]

Soulsville Soulsville Soulsville[00:03:59]
