Stand Up

Now look

Trouble deh a road

Dem bring it come a yard

Cyaa sell your soul for just a card

Doggie, doggies

Now look

After dem drive how much fear inna the people

You nuh see seh dutty Babylon a study evil

Seh you cyaa work if you nuh get the needle

And all dem ting deh a treason

Ayo, dem lock down this country without a reason

Poor people cyaa get no food fi put pon dem table

This plan dem make, no Babylon plan it

And now the people cyaa manage

But you got to stand up and face reality

Come mek we trample the beast and just look to the East, my people

Stand up and face reality

Good God now, yes

Hey

This a worries, this a trouble, this a trial

We cyaa mek no change if we live inna denial

Tell my people pull together, stay loyal

Mek we sink Babylon like Port Royal

'Cause dem use propaganda inna the media fi trick unuh

Radioactive disease fi sick unuh

And tell black people use the smartphone

To educate yourself and leave people business alone

And you got to stand up and face reality

A mek we trample the beast and just look to the East, my people

Stand up and face reality

Good God now, hey

See, people fi pree, use your third eyes and see

That dem want to control our destiny

Their aim and their scheme is to make a regime

To keep the people in poverty

But the rest of man a chant words, powers and sound

'Til Babylon confound

A we will march seven times 'round the walls of Jericho

'Til every column tear down

It's time to stand up and face reality

Come mek we trample the beast and then look to the East, my people

Stand up and face reality

Good God now, good God, hey

After dem drive so much fear inna the people

You nuh see seh dat dutty Babylon a evil

Seh you cyaa work if you nuh tek the needle

All dem ting deh a treason

And then dem lock down the country without a reason

Poor people cyaa put no food pon dem table

This plan dem make, no Babylon plan it

And now ghetto people cyaa stand in it
