Macabee Version Lyrics - Max Romeo

You gave I King James Version 

King James was a white man 

You built I dangerous weapon 

To kill I own black man 

You sold the land God gave I 

And taught I to be covetous 

What other wicked things 

Have you got in mind? 

Tell me, what are gonna do 

To stop these daily crimes? 

Bring back Macabee Version 

That God gave to black man 

Give back King James Version 

Belongs to the white man 

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot 

And give black God the glory 

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot 

And give black God the glory, yeah 

You suffer I and you rob I 

You starve I then you kill I 

But what are you gonna do 

Now that your sword have turn against you? 

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot 

And give black God the glory 

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot 

And give black God the glory 

Bring back Macabee Version 

That God gave to black man 

Give back King James Version 

That belongs to the white man 

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot 

And give black God the glory 

Black man, get up, stand up, find your foot 

And give black God the glory
