Where My Buffalo Roam
Words and Music by Amber Snider

V1:
People always yelling in my ear
Not always telling me things that I wanna hear
The lady down the street she's yelling at her kids
She says "get in the house and stop sniveling"!

V2:
I walk down the street on my way to the store
People act like they never seen a white girl before
They roll up, like, 5 homies deep and say "hey white girl"
Then I hear the tires screech.

V3:
Policeman they knock at more my door saying
"Good evening, have you heard any loud noises before like gunshots?"
"What? I say. No, I haven't heard nothing. Have a nice day."

Chorus:
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.

V4:
What's with the cars, the cars that go boom?
It's like 3 in the morning, not the afternoon.
The bass is shaking every window on the block
The car speakers suck, I can't hear myself talk.

V5:
Since when are kids so damn mean
They walk down the street yelling things obscene
For no reason at all they kick over the trash
It's not like it was directly in their path

V6:
Sometimes they hang out by the tree
Slinging rocks, I don't know drinking "Old E"
I say “what's up?” you know, trying to act cool
Then I end up looking like a fool.

Chorus:
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.

Bridge:
If only we could all just get along
Accept our differences, time to move on
Act with with honor, respect and love
Eliminate hate, it’s time to rise above

V7:
Graffiti wars on the wall
People wanna raise up they wanna stand tall
But they go about it in all the wrong ways
And then it stays there for days and days

V8:
The city decided it needs a fresh coat of paint
When I see the man painting I applaud like he's a saint
I yell “thank you!” at which point he laughs
Then I cross the street stepping over the trash

Chorus:
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
