==Information on the Rapper:==
Christopher Columbus (ca. October 31, 1451 – May 20, 1506) was an Italian-born explorer, navigator and colonizer, best known for "accidentally" discovering lands that later came to be called the Americas. Representing Spain under King Fernando II and Queen Isabella I, he was commissioned by the royal couple to sail to India and trade for their local spices. Supposing he could actually reach India more quickly by sailing west, Columbus set off on a voyage with three ships in 1492: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. 
Columbus did not reach India as he supposed in the autumn of 1492, but instead managed to tour what became the Caribbean Isles in the western hemisphere, settling at last on an island that he called New Spain and that his contemporaries called Hispaniola ("Little Spain"), on which present-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic stand. He befriended and later enslaved the native tribes on thsee islands, though not without also killing large numbers by way of imported diseases, war, and famine. Columbus would make three return trips to his claims before his arrest in 1500 amid allegations of misconduct as governor of the new lands. He was cleared of these charges, but died succumbing to various illnesses in 1506. If nothing else, Columbus' exploits cleared a path for future European exploration and colonization of western lands, then known as the "New World".
The former name of the Americas (Columbia) and the country of Colombia are named in Columbus' honor, as is the US holiday Columbus Day, celebrated each October 12, and the US capitol district.

===Verse One:===
What are you gonna do? Time travel and try to change kid's minds?
Or change the words on there homework they've sadly been assigned?
Yeah, I don't think so, you'll never get recognition!
I mean, you could have at least enslaved some people on your expedition!
You're "Leif the Lucky" eh? Well the luck stops here!
You're just Viking scum, i'm on a much higher tier!
What is this "Vinland" you speak of? It isn't on my map,
I guess those 400 years makes a difference, chap!
===Verse Two:===
Woah man, isn't that a bit harsh?
On second thought, I could just kick your ass from Genoa to Marsh,
Think you can hurt me? Oh please, don't chaff,
You may have had the first landing, but I get the last laugh!
