Get Up Stand Up

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up, oh brotherman 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!

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, eh
Stand up for your rights. Come on

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up, oh brotherman 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 brotherman)
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up, (Watch it 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!

We sick an' tired of-a 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
Get up, stand up, Get up, stand up

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up, I beg don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up, (Oh my sisters), stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up, I beg you don't give up the fight!

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
Mama never give up yo fight
Don't give up the fight
My man never give up yo fight (Oh ahh hey)

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up, oh brotherman 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!
