Max Romeo Macabee Version Lyrics

Macabee Version Lyrics

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
