Man, he saying that, a he's the first one
Who discover Jamaica, I an' I say not
What about the Arawak Indians?
And the few black man who were around here, before him?

A whole heap a mix up-mix up
A whole heap a fed up-fed up

Within a red, green an' gold robe
Come on (Twelve tribe of Israel)

A whole heap a mix up-mix up
A whole heap a fed up-fed up
Come on (Twelve tribe of Israel)
Come on (Twelve tribe of Israel)
Out a Jamdown land ya (Yes, Jah)

Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar (Yes, Jah)
