I'm the ruler of my destiny
I can determine what becomes of me!
I'm the ruler of my destiny
I can determine what becomes of me!
I'm the ruler of my destiny
I can determine what becomes of me!
I'm the ruler of my destiny
I can determine what becomes of me!

[Verse 1]
There's a story goin' all around
Talking about it everywhere
There's this gossip and this constant sound
Livin' in the light just ain't fair
They try to work me but it's all in vain
They'll never get this baby down
Say I'm crazy, well that might well be
But there'll be no kickin' Chaka around... cause

[Chorus]
I'm the ruler of my destiny
If I blow it, it's because of me
There is nobody who's got the power
To determine what becomes of me

[Verse 2]
I'm aware of what we're here to do
And, do is our only choice
So live your life, baby, me and you (just me and you)
Singing with this one strong voice
This is bigger than the both of us
I'm not afraid to walk that line
Just be natural and we can trust
Every little thing's gonna turn out fine 'cause
[Chorus]
I'm the ruler of my destiny
If I blow it, it's because of me
There is nobody who's got the power
To determine what becomes of me

My destiny, it's because of me
My destiny, I determine what becomes of me

I'm the ruler of my destiny
I can determine what becomes of me!
I'm the ruler of my destiny
I can determine what becomes of me!
I'm the ruler of my destiny
I can determine what becomes of me!
I'm the ruler of my destiny

My destiny, my destiny
My destiny, my destiny

My destiny, my destiny
My destiny, my destiny

[Chorus]
I'm the ruler of my destiny
If I blow it, it's because of me
There is nobody who's got the power
To determine
My destiny, my destiny
My destiny, my destiny
[Chorus]
I'm the ruler of my destiny
If I blow it, it's because of me
There is nobody who's got the power
To determine what becomes of me

[Chorus]
I'm the ruler, I'm the ruler
I'm the ruler of my destiny
If I blow it, it's because of me
There is nobody who's got the power
To determine what becomes of me
