Soulsville - Isaac Hayes[00:00:00]

Written by：Isaac Hayes[00:00:00]

Black man born free[00:00:10]

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

Chains that binds him are hard to see[00:00:18]

Unless you take this walk with me[00:00:23]

Place where he lives[00:00:28]

Is God plenty of names[00:00:31]

Slums ghetto and black belt[00:00:36]

They are one and the same[00:00:40]

And I call it Soulsville[00:00:43]

Any kind of job is hard to find[00:00:54]

That means an increase[00:00:58]

In the welfare line[00:01:00]

Crime rate is rising too[00:01:02]

If you are hungry[00:01:07]

What would you do[00:01:09]

Rent is two months past due and[00:01:12]

The building that's falling apart[00:01:16]

Little boy needs a pair of shoes[00:01:20]

And this is only a part of Soulsville[00:01:25]

Some of the brothers' got plenty of cash[00:01:38]

Tricks on the corner gonna see to that[00:01:43]

Some like to smoke[00:01:47]

And some like to blow[00:01:49]

Some are even strung out[00:01:51]

On a fifty dollar Jones[00:01:53]

Some are trying to ditch[00:01:56]

Reality by getting so high[00:01:58]

Only to find out you[00:02:05]

Can never touch the sky[00:02:09]

'Cause your hoods are[00:02:12]

In Soulsville oh yeah[00:02:13]

Every Sunday morning[00:02:23]

I can hear the old sisters say[00:02:26]

Hallelujah Hallelujah[00:02:31]

Trust in the Lord to make a way oh yeah[00:02:35]

I hope that He hear their prayers 'cause[00:02:41]

Deep in their souls they believe[00:02:45]

Someday He'll put an end to all[00:02:50]

This misery that we have in Soulsville[00:02:55]

Oh yeah Soulsville Soulsville[00:03:00]

Soulsville Soulsville Soulsville[00:03:24]
