Committed To Life Feat Assata Shakur Lyrics

    Written by: p. andrade, a. shakur, das, pandit, savale, tailor, zaman


    I'll be honest with you:
    I hate war in all it's forms-
    Physical, psychological, spiritual... emotional... environmental
    I hate war...
    And i hate having to struggle - i honestly do
    Because i wish i had been into a world where it was
    Unnecessary.
    This context of struggle and being a warrior and being a
    Struggler
    Has been forced on me by oppression.
    Otherwise i would be a sculptor, or a gardener,
    Carpenter - you know, i would be free to be so much more...

    I guess part of me or a part of who i am, a part of what i do
    Is being a warrior - a reluctant warrior, a reluctant struggler
    But... i do it because i'm committed to life
    We can't avoid it, we can't run away from it
    Because to do that is to be... cowardice-
    To do that is to be subservient... to devils, subservient to
    Evil and so that the only way to live on this planet
    With any human dignity at the moment is to struggle.
