Sitting in the brightened sun Waiting for the day to come Wishing for the night to come That won't help Sitting in the brightened sun That won't help Each the night and day will come That won't help Get up now Get up, stand up now Sitting inside a soul Crying every day for more [Repeat: x 2] That won't help Crying every day for more Fly a bird

The producer hadn't arrived and the band was just kind of vamping in the studio, but the engineer was rolling tape." In the end, the band liked the messed up line and kept it in the recording they sent off to radio stations. Speculation as to the true meaning of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" raged for decades, but now the debate can be put to rest.
[Verse 2] We were Kings We were Queens of an empire We were made out on these streets We were all desire [Pre-Chorus] So, if we're gonna break If we're gonna tumble in the gunfire Promise we'll be

Get up, stand up, keep on your hands up Now sing it (heiii hooo heiii hooo) Get up, stand up, keep on your hands up Now sing it (heiii hooo) now sing it (heiii hooo) Get up and stand up, keep on

Bob Marley & the Wailers - Get Up, Stand UpAlbum: Burnin' (1973)©Tuff Gong/Island Records (Universal)
Get up, stand up, Get up, stand up This track aint asking you a damn thing Not the brand name bottle with your champagne Not where you land your private airplane How many blood diamonds shining in that chain? How much compromise is tied to that fame? How many more times we gotta hear that lame Line I'm inspiring them To do what? Roll better Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin. I came to win, battle me, that's a sin. I won't ever slack up, punk, you better back up. Try and play the role and yo, the whole crew'll act up. Get up, stand up (c'mon) c'mon, throw your hands up. If you've got the feeling, jump across the ceiling. Muggs lets the funk flow, someone's talking junk. The song is about taking action to avoid oppression and to stand up for your rights. It was influenced by Rastafari religion and the music of War. It was the last song Marley performed before his death in 1981. The lyrics have religious and social messages, and the music is based on the song "Slippin' Into Darkness" by War. AKHc0l6.
