Bob Marley, a legend, whose music will continue to speak unity
Peace, and love. And as he said, "Better to die fighting for freedom
Than to be a prisoner all your life." But I'll let him tell it
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Preacher man, don't tell me
Oh, yeah, uh
Every time we try to get back up
Somebody come and try to tear us down
Yeah, but this time, we'll get back up
And we gon' fight back and stand our ground
We took too much, we seen enough
I know my rights, you cannot touch us
There's no peace where there's no justice
Cuts too deep, can't stitch them up
Gotta let go, hanging on the pain
Struggle made us strong, so we breaking through the chains
Knew it wouldn't be long 'til we see a change
Gotta be loud so they hear us when we sing, yeah
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Preacher man, don't tell me
They never listen to us when we speak
But they gon' hear us when we raise hell
Yeah, they taking brothers from our families
They're either dead or they end up in jail
Give us no chances, life is tough
We standing strong, ain't gon' give up
We gon' fight back, this ain't no bluff
We march all night from dawn 'til dusk
Gotta let go, hanging on the pain
Struggle made us strong, so we breaking through the chains
Knew it wouldn't be long 'til we see a change
Gotta be loud so they hear us when we sing, yeah
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Preacher man, don't tell me
