My Opinion

Greetings

Goes out to the mad man himself
Mister 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 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
