NGUZO SABA
The Seven Principles
UMOJA is UNITY
And that’s the way is should always be!
To build and maintain unity in the family, nation, and community, (As a people, we need to get together and share our blessings, that’s the way it should always be!)
UMOJA is UNITY
KUJICHAGULIA is SELF-DETEMINATION YOU SEE
To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speaks for ourselves
KUJICHAGULIA is SELF-DETEMINATION YOU SEE
(I need freedom to define my own goals, so no one has to speak for me)
UJIMA - COLLECTIVE WORK AND RESPONSIBILITY
To build and maintain our community, together
Your worries mine. My worries yours, whatever!
(Let’s take responsibility for our past and what our future’s gone be)
UJIMA - COLLECTIVE WORK AND RESPONSIBILITY
UJAMAA - COOPERATIVE ECONOMICS, “THAT MONEY MAN!”
To build and maintain our own stores, our own shops, our own businesses, getting props. Sharing profits, feeling fine, I’ll buy your goods, you buy mine (Believing people come before profits do. Power to the people, to the me…
To the you) Power to the people, to the me, to the you)
UJAMMAA - WE MUST UNDERSTAND “THAT MONEY MAN!”
To make our collective work the lifting and building of our community
So our people can rise to their traditional greatness.
(We are social beings and we must work together, “Our Hood”) but
NIA - is PURPOSE SO IT’S ALL GOOD
KUUMBA - is CREATIVITY
To do always as much as we can, in the way that we can
So the community we inherit is more lovely then it began (Enhance the world, a flavor form you, a taste from you. A taste from me)
KUUMBA is CREATIVITY
IMANI - is FAITH
To believe with our heart in our people, in our parents & our teachers too and the righteousness of our struggle
Believe in the power of you
(Selectively honor our leaders. Forever encourage the young) with
IMANI - with FAITH
