Up With Hope (Down With Dope)
Lucky Dube

I have know this preacherman

For a long time, he was a good man

I have known this judge

For a long time, he was a good man

I have known this teacher

For a long time, he was a good man too

But because of the drugs

They've been taking secretly

Them are in loony houses today


We cannot stand aside and look

While the nation is going down the drain (x2)


Up with hope, down with dope (x3)


We cannot stand aside and look

While the nation is going down the drain.

We really, really cannot stand aside and look while the nation is going down the drain

Oh Yo


I am telling you now

Cocaine, no good for you

Liquor, no good for you

You go sniffling them glue

No good for you

They give it to you and say it's the sense of knowledge


But I known I've been around

For a while


I cannot stand aside

And look while the nation (x2)

Is going down the drain

Oh yo yo yo


Chorus till fade:

Up with hope, down with dope
