SOJA, acrónimo de Soldiers Of Jah Army, es una banda de reggae. Comenzó activamente en 1997. Los temas principales de sus canciones son: el amor, la política, la religión y los problemas ambientales. Jacob Hemphill (voz principal y guitarra) y Bob Jefferson (voz y bajo) se conocieron en la escuela poco después de que Hemphill regresara, junto con su familia, a los Estados Unidos desde África donde el padre de Miller trabajaba como representante del FMI en Monrovia, Liberia.

Am These prison blues a standard issue C Even when our shirts ain't blue F We've got shake downs on a daily F Shanks and ropes, she snitches too Am Those bars lockin' down a cell block C Warden's yellin' down the hall F Was you gonna make my prison thicker? F Higher, sharper wall?
[Chorus]
Dm I lift that hammer, hammer's heavy F And let that fall upon a stone C And let that shake these chains that bind me G And build these walls I call my home Dm I've got scars that poorly mended F And I don't seem to fit no more C Yet I wake myself each mornin' GAmCF Just prepare for what's in store AmCF For what's in store for me AmCF
[Verse 2]
Am So tonight it's cold cold as bullets C Keys walk up and down my tear F Tell myself the end is coming soon F To chase away the fear, Am That same fear that's got me drinkin' C and put these tracks all down my arm FF That same fear's been inside me, ever since I was born
[Chorus]
Dm I lift that hammer, hammer's heavy F And let that fall upon a stone C And let that shake these chains that bind me G And build these walls I call my home Dm I've got scars that poorly mended F And I don't seem to fit no more C Yet I wake myself each mornin' GAmCF Just prepare for what's in store AmCF For what's in store for me AmCF
[Verse 3]
Am Freedom's just a distant memory C I lose more and more each day F Can't forgive the man inside me F My tranquility is gone Am Every day's like every other C Every day's like every other F Every day's like every other FAm Every day's like..let me out of here C Let me out of here F Let me out of here F Let me out of here
