Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You gave I King James Version
King James was a white man
You give I Macabee version
'Cause I am a black man
You sold the land God gave I
And taught I to be covetous
What other wicked things
Have you got in mind?
Tell me, what are gonna do
To stop these daily crimes?
[Chorus]
Bring back Macabee Version
That God gave to black man
Give back King James Version
It belongs to the white man
Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot
And give black God the glory
Black man, get up, and what you say
And give rasta the glory, yeah
[Verse 2]
You suffer I and you rob I
You starve I then you kill I
But what are you gonna do
Now that your sword have turn against you?
Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot
And give black God the glory
Black man, get up, and what you say
And give black God the glory, yeah
[Chorus]
Bring back Macabee Version
That God gave to black man
Give back King James Version
It belongs to the white man
Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot
And give black God the glory
Black man, get up, and what you say
And give rasta the glory, yeah
