Get Up
I was born a sufferer
A tree cut from its root
It was not very long ago
Since I and I found the truth
I was washed away from sin
Taken to their christening
Never knew the meaning
Till I and I get a revealing
×2
You got crawl before you walk
Walk before you run
And if you run and get a fall
Just get up and brush it off
Locked up in captivity
Shipped across Caribbean seas
So many years after slavery
I still don't know my identity
Once a man and twice a child
My people stories make you cry
Born with wings but cannot fly
We living on the edge of tomorrows light
They say
×2
You got crawl before you walk
Walk before you run
And if you run and get a fall
Just get up and brush it off
Bridge ×4
Oh ooooo oo oh oh ooooo oh ooooo
Oh ooooo oh oh ooooo oh ooooo oh
×4
You got crawl before you walk
Walk before you run
And if you run and get a fall
Just get up and brush it off
A tree cut from its root
It was not very long ago
Since I and I found the truth
I was washed away from sin
Taken to their christening
Never knew the meaning
Till I and I get a revealing
×2
You got crawl before you walk
Walk before you run
And if you run and get a fall
Just get up and brush it off
Locked up in captivity
Shipped across Caribbean seas
So many years after slavery
I still don't know my identity
Once a man and twice a child
My people stories make you cry
Born with wings but cannot fly
We living on the edge of tomorrows light
They say
×2
You got crawl before you walk
Walk before you run
And if you run and get a fall
Just get up and brush it off
Bridge ×4
Oh ooooo oo oh oh ooooo oh ooooo
Oh ooooo oh oh ooooo oh ooooo oh
×4
You got crawl before you walk
Walk before you run
And if you run and get a fall
Just get up and brush it off
