As long as you're a black man
You're an African

No mind your nationality

Digging out me pearls

Dig out me diamonds

If it's love that you're running from
There is no hiding place
Just your problems, no one else's problems

Nobody feel no way
Everyman get paid a quota's work this day

Can I plant peas and reap rice?
Can I plant cocoa and reap yam?
Can I plant turnip and reap tomato?

GET UP, STAND UP

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up

Preacher man don't tell me heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know what life is really worth
Is not all that glitters in gold and
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light, aay

I'm not in this world
To live up to your expectations
Neither are you here to live up to mine, yeah

I don't owe no one no obligation
No I don't mean none
So everything is fine, fine

Deep down in Jamaica, close to Mandeville
Back up in the woods, on top of a hill
There stood an old hut made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never learned to read or write so well
But he could play his guitar like ringin' a bell yell

Said go, go Johnny!

Lucifer son of the mourning, I'm gonna chase you out of earth!

unnu old vampire
you don't like to see youths prosper
only like to see youths suffer
unnu set of vampire

unnu old vampire
only trod upon creation
with your bloody meditation

First you came and you sold us Christianity
But all your members just lust after vanity
Telling them to trust in you faithfully
Not seeing it's the return of the slavery
Taught us of heaven way up in the sky
Where we can't reach unless we die
But you can't fool me again
You can't fool me again and again
