[Intro]
You got to live in love an' unity
An' no bother with no ignorancy
An' no war an' no brutality, you know?
Love ever over an' over (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the Roots-Rock-Reggae (Go deh)
I feel the Roots-Rock-Reggae
Deuteronomy an' Joshua, Deuteronomy an' Joshua
[Chorus]
Say, black man, you get up, 'tan up pon foot
Say, black man, you get up, 'tan up pon foot
Say, you fi rise an' shine an' you give Jah di glory
Rise an' shine an' you give Jah di glory
No listen to no weakheart story
I say, no listen to no pagan story
Say, you fi get up, 'tan up pon foot (Black good)
Say, get up, 'tan up pon foot
[Verse 1]
Cah, Deuteronomy an' Joshua
I said-a, numbers an' Leviticus
I said, no bother with no fuss
An' let mi tell you, said-a repatriation, it is a must
Rеpatriation, it is a must
[Chorus]
So black man, you get up, 'tan up pon foot
Say, you fi get up, 'tan up pon foot (An' do what?)
Rise an' shinе an' you give Jah di glory (Deuteronomy; Joshua)
[Verse 2]
Mi down ya so long in a dis ya land
It's about time we make a repatriation
Repatriation, it is a must
Well, no bother with no fuss an' no bother with no cuss
Say, repatriation, it is a must
Cah, Deuteronomy an' numbers
I said-a, Joshua an' Leviticus
Dem say dat repatriation, it is a must
Dem said-a repatriation, it is a must
Say, hands an' heart have to be pure an' clean
To rally around di red, gold an' green
Well, you forward down di sin, don't you bother act mean
[Chorus]
Just get up, 'tan up pon foot
Say, black man, you get up, 'tan up pon foot
Say, rise an' shine an' give Jah di glory
Jah, let mi tell you, say to rise an' shine an' give Jah di glory
No listen to no weakheart story
I say, no listen to no pagan story
Cah, dis are sounds of reality
Jah, let mi tell you, dis are sounds of reality
Cho black-oh-people, make we throw 'way brutality
Black people, don't you check out too much vanity
[Bridge]
They never fire no gun
They never do no lootin', no shootin'
Lightin' up a no tings
They live upright
[Verse 3]
No bother with no fussin' an' fightin'
I say, no bother with no more back-biting
Beca' di killin' an' killin', natty don't love dat
Fussin' an' di fightin', Jah Jah vex fi dat
So you fi get up, 'tan up pon foot
Say, black man, you get up, 'tan up pon foot
[Outro]
Beca' di things you do, it will surely follow you
Things you do, it will surely follow you
Well, no matter what they say an' no matter what they do
