《Soulsville》歌词

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

[00:00:02] Written by：Isaac Hayes

[00:00:10] Black man born free

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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