Call Me Kuchu by Taylor Locke Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He got his sentence on the day he was born
No bed of roses, just a cradle of thorns
[?] of justice and taking all this scorn
Couldn't fake it
I told him to hide himself and how he appeared
But he would not live his life tainted by fear
He told his people to shout loud and clear, "Here we are now"
Everybody so afraid of what we feel inside
It's all the same old, made-up
We shouldn't have to hide

[Chorus]
He said, "Call me Kuchu" (Kuchu)
Call me Kuchu

[Verse 2]
Made him a martyr and they put him in the ground
A real shit starter like nobody else around
[?] start slaughter and a voice they had found
Couldn't take it
That [?] going in doesn't speak for us all
We want equality, you must heed your call
Come to see the message and get on the ball
Gotta face it
They put their names in the paper
Said it ain't no high (Ain't no high)
But you can't fight nature
No matter how you try
[Chorus]
He said, "Call me Kuchu" (Kuchu)
Call me Kuchu

[Verse 3]
When he comes to his senses
When he's on our side
We can all move together
Stand up in pride

[Chorus]
He said, "Call me Kuchu" (Kuchu)
Call me Kuchu
