Max Romeo - Macabee Version lyrics

rate me

You gave I King James Version<br />

King James was a white man<br />

You built I dangerous weapon<br />

To kill I own black man<br />

You sold the land God gave I<br />

And taught I to be covetous<br />

<br />

What other wicked things<br />

Have you got in mind?<br />

Tell me, what are gonna do<br />

To stop these daily crimes?<br />

<br />

Bring back Macabee Version<br />

That God gave to black man<br />

Give back King James Version<br />

Belongs to the white man<br />

<br />

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot<br />

And give black God the glory<br />

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot<br />

And give black God the glory, yeah<br />

<br />

You suffer I and you rob I<br />

You starve I then you kill I<br />

But what are you gonna do<br />

Now that your sword have turn against you?<br />

<br />

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot<br />

And give black God the glory<br />

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot<br />

And give black God the glory<br />

<br />

Bring back Macabee Version<br />

That God gave to black man<br />

Give back King James Version<br />

That belongs to the white man<br />

<br />

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot<br />

And give black God the glory<br />

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot<br />

And give black God the glory<br /><br />
