1st Verse
No job,
We can change that situation,
No pay, and no say.
No food,
You can stop that situation,
Just steal, what is yours.
1st Chorus
Why don't you get up,
Get up and fight,
Don't just sit there,
You know it ain't right,
You don't change nothing 'till you get up and fight,
Why don't you get up, get up, get up, get up, get up.
2nd Verse
No homes,
We can change that situation,
With force,
Things can change,
Don't take,
All this misery for granted,
When you,
Have all the power in your hands.
2nd Chorus
Why don't you get up,
Get up and fight,
Don't just sit there,
You know it ain't right,
You don't change nothing 'till you get up and fight,
Why don't you get up, get up, get up, get up, get up.
Mid8
If you think society's working,
Then ask someone who ain't,
The worse the picture get,
More lies the media will paint.
If you can't eat at the table,
Then you must break off the legs,
'Cause there ain't gonna be no changes,
Without breaking a few heads.
Can't you hear,
What I'm saying,
Can't you hear,
What I've said
3rd Chorus
Can't you hear, Why don't you get up,
What I'm saying, Get up and fight,
Can't you hear, Don't just sit there,
What I've said. You know it ain't right.
You don't change
nothing 'till you get up and fight,
Why don't you get up,
get up, get up, get up, get up
3rd Verse
No rights,
You can change that situation,
That strength, is in you,
The peace,
of this slavery is worse than,
The fight,
For your freedom and your rights.
4th Chorus
Why don't you get up,
Get up and fight,
Don't just sit there,
You know it ain't right,
You don't change nothing 'till you get up and fight,
Why don't you get up, get up, get up, get up, get up.
5th Chorus
Can't you hear, Why don't you get up,
What I'm saying, Get up and fight,
Can't you hear, Don't just sit there,
What I've said. You know it ain't right.
You don't change
nothing 'till you get up and fight,
Why don't you get up, get
up, get up, get up, get up
