Stand Up - Deluxe

E no be as e be before
E been dey sweet like sugar cane oh
My brother
Everything done change oh
E done change oh
E don spoil eh
No mind them
No mind them
No mind them

Put your hands up now
My sister
Make we stand up now
Because everything done change oh
E done change oh
E don spoil eh
No mind them
No mind them
No mind them
Eh Eh

Here comes one and two
Suffering and smiling na for me and you
Nobody cares
See number three and four
Take a look at the poll
What them are push to the wall
You see them poll
For number five and six
And seven and eight
Them just dey miscalculate
Instead of make them relate
Them go sit down dey debate
On who get the cake
And the people done tire to dey wait
See them they no wan stop the fighting
See them, them are biting and criticizing
Only them are just dividing
But Jah is providing
For I and I surviving
Them are hating
Some are faking, accumulating
Debating, money depreciating
Manipulating to hold us down
But nobody can stop us now

So, if you want make e good oh
Put your hands up
You wanna make a move oh
Make you stand up
Anything wey you go do
Just keep your head up
Make we stand up now
E been dey sweet like sugarcane oh
Put your hands up
But now it's full of pain oh
Make you stand up now
Everything done change oh
E done change oh
No mind them

So, make them stop to dey look oh
Person no be fool oh
Them know the rules and the views
But still them refuse
Looking for a scapegoat to choose
Na the fool them go use
To portray as a political mumu
Them go tell am make e loot and improve
Their party wey dey rule
And when e come refuse
Them go start to dey dey confused
Them go want to dey use excuse
To infuse wetin no dey for book oh

They no want to stop the fighting
See them are biting and criticizing
Only them are just dividing
But Jah is providing
For I and I surviving
Player hating, demarcating
And inflating, rating democrazing
Miscalculating to hold us down
But nobody can stop us now

REPEAT CHORUS

Put your hands up now
My brother
Make you stand up now
My sister
Everything done change oh
E done change oh
E done change eh
No mind them
No mind them
No mind them

My brother
Suffering and smiling
Children are crying
Police dey keep harassing
You no go fit deny that
Political crisis
Cos they don't care
My brothers and sisters

REPEAT CHORUS

You need to shine your eyes oh
Put your hands up
You need to realize say
Make you stand up
Everything done spoil oh
Just keep your head up
Make we stand up now
You need to shine your eyes oh
And visualize it
E done spoil oh
E done change oh
No mind them
No mind them
No mind them
