Get Up Stand Up

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

You preacher man, don't tell me

Heaven is under the earth

You a duppy and you don't know

What life is really worth

It's not all that glitter is gold

And half the story has never been told

So now we see the light

We gonna stand up for our rights, come on

Get up, stand up (brothers)

Stand up for your rights (come on)

Get up, stand up (sisters)

Don't give up the fight (I'm begging you to)

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up (I said)

Don't give up the fight

'Cause you know most people think

A great God will come from the skies

And take away every little thing

And left everybody dry

But if you know what life is worth

You would look for yours right here on Earth

And now we see the light

We gonna stand up for our rights, come on

Get up, stand up (don't make them push you 'round)

Stand up for your rights (come on brothers)

Get up, stand up (be brave now)

Don't give up the fight (I say)

Get up, stand up

Just stand up for your rights (don't let 'em hold you down)

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

We're sick and tired of this game of technology

Humbly asking Jesus for his mercy

We know, we know and we understand

Almighty Jah is a living man

You fool some people sometimes

But you can't fool all the people all the time

And now we see the light

We gonna stand up for our rights, come on

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your rights (come on brothers)

Get up, stand up (I said)

Don't give up the fight (don't let 'em push you 'round)

(I say) Get up, stand up

Stand up for your rights (come on all sisters)

Get up, stand up
