时长： 04:10

Black man, born free [00:00:11]

At least that's the way it's supposed to be [00:00:14]

Chains that binds him are hard to see [00:00:19]

Unless you take this walk with me [00:00:24]

[00:00:25]

Place where he lives is God plenty of names [00:00:28]

Slums, ghetto and black belt, they are one and the same [00:00:38]

And I call it "Soulsville" [00:00:44]

Any kind of job is hard to find [00:00:55]

That means an increase in the welfare line [00:00:59]

Crime rate is rising too [00:01:04]

If you are hungry, what would you do? [00:01:08]

Rent is two months past due and the building that's falling apart [00:01:13]

Little boy needs a pair of shoes and this is only a part of Soulsville [00:01:22]

Some of the brothers' got plenty of cash [00:01:31]

Tricks on the corner, gonna see to that [00:01:44]

Some like to smoke and some like to blow [00:01:49]

Some are even strung out on a fifty dollar Jones [00:01:53]

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

Only to find out you can never touch the sky [00:02:07]

'Cause your hoods are in Soulsville, oh yeah [00:02:14]

Every Sunday morning, I can hear the old sisters say [00:02:25]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, trust in the Lord to make a way, oh yeah [00:02:33]

I hope that He hear their prayers 'cause deep in their souls they believe [00:02:43]

Someday He'll put an end to all this misery that we have in Soulsville [00:02:52]

Oh yeah, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville, Soulsville[00:03:02]
