Preacher man don't tell me

Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light
Stand up for your rights, come on

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights

Most people think
Great God will come from the skies
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high

But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you've seen the light
You stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

We're sick and tired of your ism schism game
Die and go to Heaven in Jesus' name, Lord
We know when we understand
Almighty God is a living man

But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our right, so you'd better
