My Island Lyrics


Burning Spear My Island


You live on my island
And you own all my rights
I want you to know
Give me what is mine
You live on my island
And you own all my rights
I want you to know
Give me what is mine

Is this another Christopher Columbus
Is this another old pirate game
Is this another Christopher Columbus
Is this another old pirate game

If this is a war, a musical war
I want you to know, I decided to fight
Come in my soldiers
Come and let us fight
Come and let us fight
Fight for our right
Come in my soldiers
Come and let us fight
Come and let us fight
Fight for our right
I and I yading in the footstep, the footstep of the
Kings Highway
I and I yading in the footstep, the footstep of the
Kings Highway
I want you to know
Give me what is mine

You live on my island
And you own all my rights
I want you to know
Give me what is mine

So you think you come again to trick us
So you think you come again to fool us
So you think you come again to trick us
So you think you come again to fool us
Long, long, long, long, long time ago
My old great grandfather father, usually work in this
plantation
Long, long, long, long, long time ago
My old great grandfather father, usually work in this
plantation
Water carrier / Food server

So you think you come again to trick us
So you think you come again to fool us
So you think you come again to trick us
So you think you come again to fool us

You live on my island
And you own all my rights
I want you to know
Give me what is mine
If this is a war, a musical war
I want you to know, I decided to fight
Come in my soldiers
Come and let us fight
Come and let us fight
Fight for our right
I and I yading in the footstep, the footstep of the
Kings Highway
I and I yading in the footstep, the footstep of the
Kings Highway

You live on my island
And you own all my rights
I want you to know
Give me what is mine
You live on my island
And you own all my rights
I want you to know
Give me what is mine
Remember you live on my island (Repeat)
