Get Up Stand Up
This is Taane in front of my rights
I know what that is, see?
And I don't care who the guy is
Becah my right is my right
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
And half the story has never been told
So now you see the light
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!
Most people think
Great God will come from the skies
And take away everything
And make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You will look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your rights, Jah!
Get up, stand up! (Jah, Jah!)
Stand up for your rights! (Stand up now)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, get 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 rights! (Lord, Lord!)
Get up, stand up! (Keep on struggling on!)
Don't give up the fight! (Yeah!)
This is Taane in front of my rights
I know what that is, see?
And I don't care who the guy is
Becah my right is my right
We sick an' tired of your ism-skism game
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a 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
Give me some nice love for that revolutionary
(Revolution)
Revolutionary, ya know?
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights (stand up now)
Get up, stand up (get up, get 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
Get up, get up
Life is your right
We can't give up the fight
We can't
Give me some nice love for that revolutionary
