Peter Tosh Get Up, Stand Up Lyrics

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

You, preacher man don't tell me Heaven is under the earth
You a dumpy and you don't know what life is really worth
It's not all that glitter is gold and half the story has never been told
So now we see the light; We gonna stand up for our rights

(Come on) Get up, stand up; (Brothers) Stand up for your rights
(Come on) Get up, stand up; (Sisters) Don't give up the fight
(I'm begging you to) Get up, stand up; Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up; (I said) Don't give up the fight

Cause you know most people think a great God will come from the skies
And take away every little thing and left everybody dry
But if you know what life is worth; You would look for yours right here on earth
And now we see the light; We gonna stand up for our rights

(Come on) Get up, stand up; (Don't make them push you 'round) Stand up for your rights
(Come on brothers) get up, stand up; (Be brave now) Don't give up the fight
( I say) Get up, stand up; (Just) Stand up for your rights
(Don't let them hold you down) Get up, stand up; Don't give up the fight

We're sick and tired of this game of technology; Humbly asking Jesus for his mercy
We know, we know and we understand almighty Jah is a living man
You fool some people sometimes but you can't fool all the people all the time
And now we see the light; We gonna stand up for our rights

(Come on) Get up, stand up; Stand up for your rights
(Come on our brothers) Get up, stand up; (I said) Don't give up the fight
(Don't let them push you 'round; I say get up, stand up; Stand up for your rights
(Come on with us and )Get up, stand up; I say don't give up the fight
