Lyrics

Christopher Columbus, him come from Spain, sir
When him sail him ship, then him come ah Jamaica
Send go tell de Queen say him come-come discover
But when mi tek a stock, there was Red Indian
Him ah boooast — say him capture Rasta
Him gone-gone boooast — say him capture Rasta
Afterward mi check it out, him turn back ah Africa
Load the ship with human cargo
Come back and start to work up the cane field
Kill out the cassava and potato
An' ah boooast — say him capture Rasta (wha' im seh?)
An' ah boooast — say him capture Rasta
The next time they see him, them send fi the barber
Say that them come fi trim up the Rasta
Trim first and then them ask question
But when me tek a stock, ah Armageddon
Dem a boooast — say dem capture Rasta
An' start to boooast — say dem capture Rasta
(Heh! Watch dis!)
When mi tek a stock him come inna the land, sir
See mi ah Negril, grandfather Rasta
With mi grey beard and mi challwah
Him mash up the kutchie and him gon' ah Campion
Gone boooast, say him capture Rasta (what a sinting!)
Gone boooast, say him capture Rasta
The first semi-aircraft gun was made by
Carlton? was a black American
And them tek it weh and gone mek M16
Give it to black man fi shoot one another
An' a boast, say dem capture Rasta
Dem a boast, say dem capture Rasta
If ah piece of cloth, why dem call it rattan?
Dolly an' lick-shot an' water pumpy
When mi tek a stock, that’s not our unity
Among the children in our community
Dem a boast, say dem capture Rasta
Dem boast, say dem capture Rasta
Some black man say them drop off ah Trinidad
The other black man drop ah Antigua
The big stake them drop ah Jamaica
Because I and I, we come fi conquer
Dem cyann’t boooast — say dem capture Rasta
Dem cannot boooast — say dem capture Rasta (yuh ah hear?)
Dis ya Rastaman him nuh licky dreadlocks
Dis ya Rastaman him nuh licky licky dreadlocks
Den can’t catch me wid no rice and peas and meat, sir
When me come me come, de Rasta cook him ital
Dem cyaan’t boast, say dem capture Rasta
Dem cannot boast, say dem capture Rasta
