Move Up Blackman

[Chorus]
Move up, blackman
Move up, blackman
Move up, blackman
Move up, blackman

[Verse 1]
Someday, somewhere
I'll find myself in a better life
Someday, somewhere
I'll find myself in a better life
It's the try, I go try
But the time just don't come (Yeah)
The time don't come (Yeah)
I know the good Lord, he will help me
So that's why I don't fuss, I don't fight
It's time to do the greatest thing at this whole world
And you, my friends, got to wait on time

[Chorus]
But move up, blackman
Move up, blackman (Come on)
Move up, blackman
Move up, blackman (Let me hear you say)
*Scatting* (Everybody say)
Move up, blackman
Move up, blackman
Move up, blackman
This is the time, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
This can't be the way all day (Oh no, my brother)
No, this can't be the way all day
You've got to, you got to, you got to move up, my brother (Yeah)
People say that I'm a fool
Just because I say I'm waiting on time (Can't you hear?)
I'm waiting on time (Listen, brother)
Jah is the greatest thing in this whole wide world
So you, my friend, better wait on time (Yeah)
*Scatting*

[Outro]
Move up, blackman
Get out of trouble, blackman (Yeah)
Get off the sea, let me hear you
Oh, let me see you do your thing
Don't be a follow of next man
Just do your thing
