Paul Willis - Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) Lyrics

Self-determination was always a goal
Since my birth, I was fighting to exist
Gotta connect my body with my soul
I know, the days ahead I don't wanna miss

My mind grows, my hair goes away
Find it harder to find my keys today
Cant kneel to pray, or knee to protest
Fightin to live wit this cancer in my chest
I confess I haven't been the best man
Love my wife, and all of our children
But I every time I reflect, on the days I was blessed
I neglect how hurt I was feelin
I just wanna clear my soul before I go
Tell my blood that I've always been down wit ya
But why'd we have to wait for me to be 86
For us to take a legit family picture
Could've ate less, read more scripture
But I've lived the life I envisioned
Kisses and hugs to all of those I will miss
When my soul is free, you can bury me in this

Self-determination was always a goal
Since my birth, I was fighting to exist
(You can bury me in peace)
Gotta connect my body with my soul
I know, the days ahead I don't wanna miss
(You can bury me in this)
Self-determination was always a goal
Since my birth, I was fighting to exist
(You can bury me in peace)
Gotta connect my body with my soul
I know, the days ahead I don't wanna miss
