I just load me barrel
And I cock me hammer
Cause I'm gonna pull my trigger
CHORUS

One minute after dozing
I thought that I was a blazing
My blood it was a boiling
It was amazing
CHORUS

Next day it went higher
Whole a me catch a fire

CHORUS

My heat it never went away

I had to head for the shower
CHORUS

Get up, Stand up! (haut de page)

(CHORUS)
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
(2x)

You, 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 glitter is gold
And half the story has never been told
So now we see the light
We gonna stand up for your rights
Come on

CHORUS

Cause you know most people think
A Great God will come from the skies
Take away everything
And left everybody dry

But if you know what life is worth
Then you would look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
We gonna stand up for your rights

CHORUS

We're sick and tired of this game of technology
Humbly asking Jesus for his mercy
We know and we know and understand
Almighty Jah is a living man

You fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
And now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights

Johnny B. Goode (haut de page)

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 and a write so well
But he could play his guitar like ringing a bell yell

CHORUS

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sitting in a tree in the railroad track
Old engineer in the train sitting in the shade
Strummin' with the rhythm that them drivers made

People passing by would stop and say
Oh my oh my what the boy can play

CHORUS

Mama said son you gotta be a man
You gotta be the leader of a reggae band
People coming in from miles around
To hear you play until the sun goes down

Boy someday your name will be in the lights
Saying Johnny B Goode tonight

CHORUS

Nobody knows but
Everybody fighting to reach the top
