"Get Up, Stand Up" by Bob Marley and the Wailers.
Literacy and Meaning
"You can fool some people sometimes, but you can't fool all the people all the times", send a message telling listeners that people who have some authority can't bully or rule over everyone all the times.
It uses a few metaphors within the meaningful sentences solo sang by the singer. For example, "And now you see the light, you stand up for your rights". It's impossible for us to stand up for our rights with a physical "light". In this sentence, it described the way or concept for us to fight for righteousness as a light, which shined us mentally.
The song uses "God" as the encouragement for listeners to not giving up. It also described "God" will returned fairness to innocents and we must not give up easily.

Music
There are more than a few singers joined in the vocal. So, it made an effect for the listeners to be positive and won't be alone.
I like this song to be quite fast and have easy rhythm, and let the ones who listen forgot all about negative stuffs.
The song has only a few traditional instruments. It brings a feeling of a group of people singing in the forest and people received unfairness.
