OUTCAST
Yes mi bredda Winston Rodney!
The boy we waan see long time
Christopher Colombus, we catch him
We hold him pon vibes
chorus:
They never want Christopher Colombus in Italy
They never want Christopher Colombus 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
/chorus/
How come in a West Indies man a ravish my home
How come the boy down to claim my home
He come 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 sword
And hold everything by by the jiffy of a word: Thief!
/chorus/
Then how come down here with boy Three Finger Jack
Come kick out Rastaman and West Indies off The Rock
You think a so Christopher, think we ago give up easily
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 haffe turn natty dread
/chorus/
(Then tell I something)
So how come him down in West Indies land
A bother we
So how come him down in West Indies land
A bother we
Came and rob us all our vote
Rape our sons and daughters at 9 years old
Straight after that we can't get no good times fe roll
And our wild animals and our speech and culture is cold
/chorus/
So how come him down in a West Indies land
A bother we
So how come him down in a West Indies land
A follow we
How come in a West Indies land just a follow we
And everything we working take it away from us
/chorus
