ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION - Committed To Life 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.
