Soulsville (Single Version) - Isaac Hayes[00:00:00]

Written by：Isaac Hayes[00:00:02]

Black man born free[00:00:10]

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

The chains that bind him are hard to see[00:00:18]

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

The place where he lives god he gives them names[00:00:28]

Slums ghetto and black belt they are one and the same[00:00:36]

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

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

That means an increase in the welfare line[00:00:58]

Crime rate is rising too[00:01:03]

If you are hungry what would you do[00:01:07]

Rent is two months past due and the building that's falling apart[00:01:12]

Little boy needs a pair of shoes and this is only a part of Soulsville[00:01:20]

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 and some like to blow[00:01:47]

Some are even strung out on a fifty dollar jones[00:01:51]

Some are trying to ditch reality by getting so high[00:01:56]

Only to find out you can never touch the sky[00:02:05]

'Cause your hoods are in Soulsville oh yeah[00:02:12]

Every Sunday morning I can hear the old sisters say[00:02:23]

Hallelujah hallelujah trust in the lord to make a way oh yeah[00:02:31]

I hope that he hear their prayers 'cause deep in their souls they believe[00:02:41]

Someday he'll put an end to all this misery that we have in Soulsville[00:02:50]

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