Asian Dub Foundation - Committed To Life Feat. Assata Shakur Lyrics
Written by: p. andrade, a. shakur, das, pandit, savale, tailor, zamanI'll be honest with you:I hate war in all it's forms-Physical, psychological, spiritual... emotional... environmentalI hate war...And i hate having to struggle - i honestly doBecause i wish i had been into a world where it wasUnnecessary.This context of struggle and being a warrior and being aStrugglerHas 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 doIs being a warrior - a reluctant warrior, a reluctant strugglerBut... i do it because i'm committed to lifeWe can't avoid it, we can't run away from itBecause to do that is to be... cowardice-To do that is to be subservient... to devils, subservient toEvil and so that the only way to live on this planetWith any human dignity at the moment is to struggle.
