Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Oh brother man, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Oh, don't give up the fight
Preacherman, 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
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light
We gonna stand up for your rights
Come on
Get up, stand up
Oh brother man, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Oh my sister, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
I beg you, don't give up the fight
Most people think
Great god will come from the skies
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
Get up, stand up
Oh brother man, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
What did my sister get?
I said, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
I beg you, don't give up the fight
We sick and tired of your ism-skism game
Dying and going 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
Get up, stand up..
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
I beg you, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Oh my sister, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
I beg you, don't give up the fight
Oh, never give up the fight
I beg you, never give up the fight
Never give up the fight
I beg you, never give up the fight
Bob marley, never give up no fight
Don't give up the fight
Bob marley, never give up no fight
Get up, stand up
Come on my brothers, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Come on my sister
I said, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Come on my brothers, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Come on my sister
I said, don't give up the fight
We never give up the fight
Never give up the fight
I never give up the fight
Never give up the fight
I never give up the fight
Never give up the fight
I never give up the fight
Never give up the fight.
