Buju Banton - Up Ye Mighty Race 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 k** 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
