Capture Rasta |
| 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 |
