Get up stand up lyrics
by Bob Marley

Hey, 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

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 the glitter is gold
Half the story has never been told
And now you see the light
Stand up for your rights

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 see, most people think
Great good will come from the sky
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high

But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you've seen the light
You stand up for your rights

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're sick and tired of the ism-schism game
Dy'n go to heaven in a Jesus name, lord

We know and we understand
Almighty god is a livin' man
You can fool some people some time
But you cannot fool all the people all the times
And now you see the light
We gonna stand up for your rights

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

Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight

Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight

Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight

I say now oh, yo! (Oh, yo!)
Oh, yo! (Oh, yo!)
Oh, yo! (Oh, yo!)
Oh! (Oh!)

Oh, yoyoyo! (Oh, yoyoyo!)
Oh, yoyoyo! (Oh, yoyoyo!)
Oh, yo! (Oh, yo!)
Oh, yo! (Oh, yo!)

Oh, yoyoyo! (Oh, yoyoyo!)
Oh, yoyoyo! (Oh, yoyoyo!)
Oh, yo, Jah rules! (Oh, yo, Jah rules!)
Oh, yo! (Oh, yo!)

Oh, yo, Jah rules! (Oh, yo, Jah rules!)
Oh, yo! (Oh, yo!)
Oh, yo, Jah rules! (Oh, yo, Jah rules!)
So we won't give up the fight

So we won't give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight

So we won't give up the fight
No, we won't give up the fight
No, we won't give up the fight

I say now oh, yo! (Oh, yo!)
Oh! (Oh!)
Oh, yoyoyo! (Oh, yoyoyo!)
Oh, yoyoyo! (Oh, yoyoyo!)

No, we won't give up the fight
No, we won't give up the fight
No, we won't give up the fight
No, we won't give up the fight

Most people think
Great God will come from the sky
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

Oh, yo! (Oh, yo!)
Oh, yoyoyo! (Oh, yoyoyo!)
Oh, yo! (Oh, yo!)
Oh, yoyoyo! (Oh, yoyoyo!)

Stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights

Stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights
