Kujichagulia

[Verse 1]
When we stand in the principles
And we know where we want to go
We have the power and the will
Within ourselves
We will choose who our friends will be
And we identify our enemies
We hold the keys to a new reality

Let us share the truth of our history
Acknowledge what we've done
And feel the greatness from which
We've come
Remember that a fruit never falls far From it's tree
So like our ancestors we must control
Our destiny

[Chorus]
Kujichagulia
Self-determination
Kujichagulia
Self-determination

[Verse 2]
So as we educate our children (tell the truth)
Let us always think about the millions
Who came before and sacrificed their lives
So that our mighty people would survive
And the glory of our past we'd soon revive
Every day we face a challenge (you and I)
Our futures hang in the balance
So we must do whatever can be done
We must not be dependent on anyone
That way we can be sure that our interests are secure

[Bridge]
Please tell me why
In this world others thrive
While you and I
Daily cry
As we try to survive
Please tell me why

[Chorus]
Kujichagulia
Self-determination
Kujichagulia
Self-determination

Kujichagulia
Self-determination
Kujichagulia
Self-determination

Kujichagulia
Self-determination
Kujichagulia
Self-determination
