[Verse]
born to a throne
stronger than rome
but violent prone
poor people zone
but its my home
all i have known
where i got grown
streets we would roam
out of the darkness
i came the farthest
among the hardest survivin
learn form these streets
it can be bleek
accept no defeet
surrender retreat
(so we struggling) fighting to eat
(and we wondering) when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithful day
its not far away
but for now we say
[Chorus]

[Verse]
so many wars
settling scores
bring us promises
leaving us poor
i heard them say
love is the way
love is the answer
thats what they say
but look how they treat us
make us believers
we fight there battles
then they deceive us
try to control us
they couldn t hold us
cause we just move forward
like buffalo soldiers
(but we strugglin) fighting to eat
(and we wonderingg) when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithfully day
its not far away
but for now we say
[Chorus]
