Lyrics

Get up, stand up (ohh) Stand up for your rights (Lord, Lord) Get up, stand up (in the morning) Stand up for your right (stand up for your rights) Get up, stand up (stand up for your life) Stand up for your rights (stand up for your life) Get up, stand up (stand up for your life) Don't give up the fight (oh, I say) Preacher man don't tell me Heaven is under the earth I know you don't know What life is really worth It's not all that glitters is gold Half the story has never been told So now you see the light, eh You stand up for your rights Get up, stand up (Lord, Lord) Stand up for your rights (what you got to give) Get up, stand up (for the life you live) Don't give up the fight (yeah) Get up, stand up (life is your right) Stand up for your rights (without life you can't fight) Get up, stand up (keep the good time coming) Don't give up the fight (Lord, Lord) Most people think Great God will come from the sky Take away everything And make everybody feel high But if you know what life is worth You would look for yours on earth And now, you've seen the light You stand up for your rights (Jah) get up, stand up (Jah, Jah) Stand up for your right (oh-uh) Get up, stand up (get up, stand up) Don't give up the fight (life is your right) Get up, stand up (so we can't give up the fight) Stand up for your right (Lord, Lord) Get up, stand up (keep on struggling on) Don't give up the fight (yeah) We're sick and tired of your ism, schism game Die and go to Heaven in Jesus name, Lord We know when we understand Almighty God is a living man You can fool some people sometimes But you can't fool all the people all the time So now, we see the light (what you gon' do?) We gonna stand up for our rights (yeah, yeah, yeah) So, you better Get up, stand up (in the morning) (don't give it up) Stand up for your right (stand up right now) Get up, stand up Don't give up the fight (don't give it up, don't give it up) Get up, stand up (get up, stand up) Stand up for your right (get up, stand up) Get up, stand up (don't be a nigga in your neighbourhood now) Don't give up the fight (get up, stand up) Get up, stand up I don't give back shit be very good, Lord Stand up for your right I said, "don't be a nigga in your neighbourhood" Don't give up the fight Get up, stand up-
