Greetings in the name of Jah!
Rastafari
Well my name is Pato Banton and
this is my opinion,

Which I have come to spread through
out the Nation
My name is Pato Banton me born and
grow a England

My name is Pato Banton and this is
my opinion
I’m gonna ride this version with
plenty concentration.

Variation penetration cause I’ve
got nuff education.
Apart from education I’ve got nuff
dedication

Gonna quake
up this here nation with some Rastaman vibration
I deal with fact not fiction I
worship Jah not Satan

Two other names for Satan that is
Lucifer and Damian
Who ever worship evil I classify as
pagan

Like that idiot Margret Thatcher
and that cowboy Ronald Regan
I know for that opinion I should
get an ovation

But let me carry on and give the
people inspiration
Cause my name is Pato Banton me
born and grow a England

My name is Pato Banton yes and this
is my opinion
A man who has no faith is like a
house without foundation

Like a tree that has no roots and
like a tune without a version
Like a room without a ceiling like
a book that has no meaning

A man who as no faith in Jah can
see no destination
When I check the situation is there
repatriation?

Instead of unity black man a deal
with segregation

Every getto is an island that’s
filled with pure confusion
Instead of the poor a hussle the
rich

The poor a hussle the poor man
The women watch the T.V. to dream
out their illusions
Get a
daily mirror for the bingo numbers dem a try fe win a million

My name is Pato Banton me born and
grow a England

My name is Pato Banton yes and this
is my opinion

I could tell you bout some mad man
who go on like dem a bad man
Dem name dem age dem whereabouts
right now me na go mention

But this is my opinion about the
way dem gallong
Dem born and grow a England and a
gwarn like dem a yardman

To give a tough impression dem a
gwarn like dem a roughion
Cause guaranteed nine out of ten of
dem a carry weapon

Dem go to every session with only
one intention
To gwarn like Mr. Super cool and
pose in front of woman

My name is Pato Banton me born and
grow a England

My name is Pato Banton yes and this
is my opinion, opinion, opinion…
