Buju Banton Up Ye Mighty Race song lyrics

How long must our people be a human sacrifice

stand up defend your rights

up up ye mighty raceyou can accomplish what you will

stand up defend your rights

in a day they destroy what took a tousand to build

stand up defend your rights

you may conquer our land you never kill the will

stand up defend your rights

Liberty and democracy are truly expensive can even cost your life

and those who stand for nothing fall for any little thing

father heal the blinded eye

the immortal advantage they take my peole

the heavens heard the cry

saviour our calamity is so great

patiently the humble wait

To attain freedom

why must there be shedding of blood

is there mo real love

are they still holding a grudge

penal institution to keep us inside

regulating our progress blocking every forward stride

let the souls of every living being nationwide

feel a shifting of the tide

ah ah ah ah ah

Put it toghether stop being selfish

no more shall we submit

man champion of course now

equal rights and justice

advise for the poor man

proclaiming through that music

my flesh has been afflicted

the soul they couldn't abuse it

from the hands of cruelity

we have gained solidarity

rewriting the pages of history

rewriting the pages yeah

rewriting the pages yeah

ah ah ah
