Let's, for argument's sake, grant that heaven is real. Why would I want to share the same space with this preacherman here😳
Peter Tosh, Get up, Stand, Stand up for your right, on my mind:
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
You preacher man, don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
You a duppy and 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 our rights, come on
Get up, stand up (brothers)
Stand up for your rights (come on)
Get up, stand up (sisters)
Don't give up the fight (I'm begging you to)
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up (I said)
Don't give up the fight
'Cause you know most people think
A great God will come from the skies
And take away every little thing
And left everybody dry
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours right here on Earth
And now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights, come on
Get up, stand up (don't make them push you 'round)
Stand up for your rights (come on brothers)
Get up, stand up (be brave now)
Don't give up the fight (I say)
…
We're sick and tired of this game of technology
Humbly asking Jesus for his mercy
We know, we know and we 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, come on
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights (come on brothers)
Get up, stand up (I said)
Don't give up the fight (don't let 'em push you 'round)
