Stand Up - Shaggy

Cool yah mi bredda, di signs of di times

Caan tek di pressa, nah tun to crime

Mama raise yuh good so beg yuh put dung di nine

Dem have di power but a yuh rule yuh mind

Teachin’s yuh treasa, caan leave behind

Must climb di ladda one step at a time

Mind ova matta, greatness defined

Must defend yuh honor if a guy cross di line

Yute man stand up oonu rights (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nah mek nobody bruk yuh stride (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nuh care who waan fi criticize (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nuh mek nobody hold yuh dung again yuh betta than di whole a dem

Stand up oonu rights (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nah mek nobody bruk yuh stride (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nuh care who waan fi criticize (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nuh mek nobody hold yuh dung again yuh betta than di whole a dem

Stand at di gutta, raised from di slums

Man a faced by oppression cau dat’s where yuh from

Hatin di fadda cau betta must come

So mek a fella know yuh step to yuh own a drum

Sweet to di bitta, not always fun

One life fi good dem seh yuh nose haffi run

As hard as it seems when it is all said and done

A new day shall dawn from di rise from di sun

Yute man stand up oonu rights (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nah mek nobody bruk yuh stride (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nuh care who waan fi criticize (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nuh mek nobody hold yuh dung again yuh betta than di whole a dem

Stand up oonu rights (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nah mek nobody bruk yuh stride (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nuh care who waan fi criticize (Get up stand up and fight!)

Nuh mek nobody hold yuh dung again yuh betta than di whole a dem

It’s alright to have yuh vision and yuh goal

Blessed is di child who has his own

Yuh hear mi seh It’s alright to have yuh vision and yuh goal

Di Fadda pon yuh side yuh not alone

Yuh hear mi seh It’s alright to have yuh vision and yuh goal

Blessed is di child who has his own

Yuh hear mi seh It’s alright to have yuh vision and yuh goal

My son yuh are a king so claim yuh throne, again

Repeat Chorus Until end
