[Intro]
Yes mi bredda Winston Rodney!
The boy we waan see long time
Christopher Columbus, we catch him
We hold him pon vibes
[Chorus]
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Italy
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Rome
So how come him down in a West Indies land - A bother we
So how come him down in a West Indies land - A bother we
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Italy
Them never want old Christopher Columbus in a Rome
How come in a West Indies land a ravish my home
How come the boy come down to claim my home
[Verse 1]
He came to the West Indies land and saw us on the plantation
Trying hard to work and support and feed our generation
Then he came and took out his Pirate sword
And own everything by the jiffy of a word
Thief!
[Chorus]
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Italy
(Neither in a Spain)
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Genoa
Then how come him come down here with boy Three Finger Jack
Come kick out Rastaman and West Indians off the rock
[Bridge Talking]
You think a so Christopher
Think we ago give up easily?
[Verse 2]
He came and start to feed the people again
And not a word of justice could be said
When I look, things upon the land start run red
And the later generation African we affe turn natty dread
[Chorus]
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Italy
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Italy
(Then tell I something)
Then how come him down in a West Indies land - A bother we
Then how come him down in a West Indies land - A bother we
[Verse 3]
Came and rob us all of our Gold
Rape our sons and daughters at nine years old
Straight after that we can't get no good times fi roll
And our wild animals and our speech and culture is cold
[Chorus]
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Italy
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Italy
Then how come him down in a West Indies land - A bother we
(Tell me man)
Then how come him down in a West Indies land - A bother we
How come him down in a West Indies land - A follow we
And everything we working take it away from us
[Outro]
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Italy
Them never want Christopher Columbus in a Italy
