Lyrics

Greetings
Goes out to the mad man himself
Mr. Mad Professor
Greetings
In the name
Of Jah Rastafari
Well, my name is Pato Banton
And this is my opinion
Which I have come to spread
Throughout the nation
My name is Pato Banton
Me born and grow a England
My name is Pato Banton
Me born and grow a England
My name is Pato Banton
And this is my opinion
I'm gonna write 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 ya nation
With some Rastaman vibration
I deal with fact not fiction
And worship Jah not Satan
Two other names for Satan
That is Lucifer and Damian
Whoever worship evil
I classify as pagan
Like the idiot Margaret Thatcher
And that cowboy Ronald Reagan
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 has 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 ghetto is an island
That's filled with bare confusion
Instead of the poor a hustle the rich
The poor a hustle the poor man
The women watch the TV
To dream up their illusion
Get a Daily Mirror for the bingo numbers
Me try fi 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 gwan like dem a bad man
Them name, them age, them whereabouts
Right now me nah go mention
But this is my opinion
About the way them galong
Them born and grow a England
And a gwan like them a yard man
To give a tough impression
Dem a gwan like them a ruffian
Can guarantee nine out of ten of them
A carry weapon
They go to every session
With only one intention
To gwan like Mr. Super Cool
And pose in front a 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
Greet
Well, my name is Pato Banton
My name is Pato Banton
Me born and grow a England
