[Hook: Bob Marley & Damian Marley]
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

[Verse 1: Bob Marley]
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 that glitters is gold
'Alf the story has never been told
So now you see the light, eh
Stand up for your rights, come on

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Bob Marley]
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, Jah
[Hook: Bob Marley & Damian Marley]
Get up, stand up
(Jah, Jah)
Stand up for your rights
(Oh, hoo)
Get up, stand up
Get up, stand up)
Don't give up the fight
(Life is your right)

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Bob Marley]
We sick an' tired of-a your ism-schism 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
(What you gonna do?)
We gonna stand up for our rights
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Hook ×3]
[Outro ×3]
Don't give up the fight
