pato banton - sensimilla

Now this one is dedicated to the people all over remember the words of your crucial entertainer when I say I do not sniff the coke I only smoke the sensimilla.
I do not sniff the coke I only smoke. Sensimilla!

Without a doubt I am the boss, in my class I am the teacher if music is the fruit of life then I will be a reaper.
If M. C. business was a school then I would be head master if a car I'd be the driver, if a bike I'd be the rider.
If M. C. business was a church Pato would be the vicar then instead of calling me M. C. you all would call me preacher.
But fun and joke aside I want to get serious in this matter and dedicate this style to each and every cocaine dealer.

In February 1985 Pato became a winner because I did that tune called Hello Tosh gotta Toshiba!
It shooted up the charts and nearly gave my mom heart failure she looked at me and said: "Son me glad me grow you proper a son like you would be the pride and joy of any mother no make the fame get to your head just think about your future."

Those words of encouragement just made me push on further to break down any walls and also break through any barrier.
I got a lot of guidance from G. T. who is my manager assistance from Don Christie Fashion helped me cross the border.
I also got a lot of aid from good good sensimilla that's why I do not snort the coke I only burn the Ganja!

One day I had to catch a train from Birmingham to London half way on my journey was approached by this white roughian with greasy hair and scruffy jeans he looked just like a villain he sat down opposite me with a Tennants (Lager) in his right hand but I don't judge appearance I just check the way you galong so I introduced myself to him as Mr. Pato Banton. "Nice to meet ya, my name's Roadie and I work with P. A. Hire I've heard your name some place before but I just can't remember.
But anyway I'm very very very glad to meet ya and I've got some dope it's first class coke you can have this for a fiver." I looked down on the table and saw a piece of silver paper inside this silver paper was some powder looked like flour.
Me asked: what it do for you? it give you strength and power? now everyone I want you to hear the way that roadie answered: "Well Mr. Pato Banton the sensation is fine it makes me see green men and then I go to cloud nine.
All my worries and problems are left miles behind so no matter where I am I have a brilliant time.
If you don't believe me hold on and I'll fix you a line just take one sniff of this and you'll be out of your mind." But I took the coke and threw it right outside the carriage window before he could say a word I quickly built up a five-sheeter into my pocket for my sensi and my lighter I lit it with a flash and then to Roadie passed it over.
I could see that he was loving it because of his expression me tell him: this is sensi the healing of the nation in some places doctors use it for herbal medication. Ronald Reagan smoke it just before him go pon television after Margaret Thatcher visit him she bring some back to England then distributes it equally throughout the house commons.
But fun and joke aside it gives me deep deep meditation it fills my heart with niceness and I get nuff inspiration.
You could be any colour any creed or any nation after smoking sensimilla I know you'll find the reason why I do not sniff coke I only smoke sensimilla!

pato banton - im addicted/ sweet reggae music

I say eeny meeny miny mo man
I'm gonna hold on tight and never let go
to the rhythm of the drum and the bass line
that sends sweet musical shivers down my spine.
Sweet music is out of sight
I say it blows my mind like a dynamite
I gotta have it by day then I gotta have it by night
and if I don't then you know I'm gonna get uptight.

Cause I'm addicted. Addicted to the vibe of the sweet reggae music.
I'm addicted. Addicted to the vibe of the drum and the base line.

Well P. B. that's me classical M. C.
I'm in a style of my own universally.
Now here I come from the underground
with a crucial vibe and an awesome sound.
I'm gonna shout Yeah! I'm gonna scream out loud
I'm gonna get to high places and stand up proud.
But I won't forget where I came from
cause with my brothers and my sisters is where I belong.
Like the king of the ring Muhammed Ali
I'm gonna "float like a butterfly & sting like a bee".
Like the king of reggae music Mr. Bob Marley
I'm gonna spread the word universally.
To the north to the south to the east or the west
there is something that I must confess
some people get a kick out of doing a line
I get high on the drum and the bass line.

I say hi de hi (hi de hi)
ho de ho (ho de ho).
There's something the media should know
we need more reggae on the radio!
Cause who feels it knows it and I've been hurt
I got married to the music for better or worse
for richer for poorer 'til death do us part
believe it's coming straight from my heart when I say

pato banton - life is a miracle

In the beginning was the word
and the word was with God.
And God said: "Let there be life".

Life, oh life! Life is a miracle.

It's a miracle every time a mother gives birth
tell me who can say how much a child is worth.
A miracle living on this planet earth
rotating to the rhythm of the universe.
Life!
More precious than the rarest stone
more valuable than silver or gold.
Life!
The essence is invisible
to the scientific mind it's impossible.
Like the secret of the seed that grows into a tree
the starry galaxies remain a mystery.
Oceans and the seas
the air we breathe.
God knows that I believe...
Life is a miracle.

As I turn one page of our history
I see so many great personalities.
Like Marcus Mosiah Garvey
Emperor Selassie
and the great Bob Marley.
Malcom X with any means necesary
Martin Luther marching to victory.
Mother Theresa
Princess Diana
even Tupac Shakur
and the one Daddy Biggie.
Well they will always have a place in our memories.
And in time to come you wait and see
they will all get the gift of eternity.
God knows that I believe...
Life is a miracle.

Our heavenly father who art in paradise
we thank you Jah for the gift of life.
And though this world is filled with trouble and strife
in time to come it will be worth the price.
Life!
The journey of experience
by growing we secure our deliverance.
Life!
The phenomenon the prodigy
the marvel of an undiscovered destiny.
So let's give thanks to our father above
for all of the wonderful things that he does.
Life is the ultimate gift of love.
God knows that I believe... Yes I do.
Life is a miracle. It's true.

pato banton - now generation

In this time of revelation
we are the now generation.

We are the now generation.
It's up to us to change the situation. Now!

All positive people arise and shine
now is not the time to linger.
We know who is to blame for this human shame
but let's not point the finger.
Oh no this ain't the time for that
we'll take one step forward and don't step back.
This is a reggae revolution
and Jah Jah conscious children are on the attack now!

Said it already and I'll say it again
say it one more time.
We are the now generation
in this time of revelation.
Nations rise and nations fall
nation 'gainst nation.
But we are the ones who've been called
to change the situation now!

pato banton - one world

One world is enough for all of us!

Now every woman every man come on and listen to Banton.
This one goes out to all of you and also to your children.
This world was made for all of us yes each and every person.
So lets all jam together now pon this reggae version.

I'd like to start at Genesis in story of creation.
God created moon and sun sea and land and vegetation.
Mmm every fish mmm every bird.
And every single member of the animal kingdom yeah!
Then in his image he created man and woman.
In different places of the world with different skin complexions.
The black man the white man the yellow and the red man.
So as far as I'm concerned there is no need for segregation.

Everyone wants number 1 no one wants to be second.
I'm just as much to blame I am in the game of competitions.
But in our quest to achieve success we all should use discretion.
And set a good example for the younger generation.
This world is for you and this world is for me.
At the end of the day we all got to see that
what we need universally is U. N. I. T. Y.
That's Unity.

pato banton - roots rock reggae

When I wake up in the morning the first thing I play:
Roots rock reggae!
From the month of June to the month of May:
Roots rock reggae!
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday:
Roots rock reggae!
And I know I'm gonna love it 'til I'm old and grey:
Roots rock reggae!

Give it to me now, give it to me now
give me the roots rock reggae!

Some like jazz some like soul
some like blues or rock & roll.
Some like pop some like rock
some like house or hip hop.
When me operator put the music on the track
me grab the mike and start chat.
Man ina pants woman ina frocks
get on the dance floor and start rock.
Time for certain lyrics that are lovey dovey
time for certain lyrics that are very funny.
But when it comes to roots and reality
just turn on the mike and give it to me.

Reggae music was originated in Jamaica
by Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.
Just to mention a few 'cause there's many many more
who spread the message of love not war.
That's why reggae music has gone so far
to Europe, China and Africa.
Gone under in Australia and in America
there ain't no stopping the music of Jah!

pato banton - stay positive

Situation in the world is crazy.
We got to stay positive.

Stay positive, stay positive, stay positive.
Stay positive, stay positive, stay positive.
Live the life you love, love the life you live
and no matter what the crisis is.
Stay positive, stay positive, stay positive.

Every time me take a little look on the T. V.
seems like the whole world gone crazy.
War, famine and poverty
people are dying continually.
So many people are getting confused
so many reasons to get in the blues.
But with a little faith in the most high's plan
it gives me strength to sing this song.

Positive! Ooh yes we have to stay positive.
Positive! No matter what the crisis is.
Positive! Even when things gone wrong.
Positive! This is the time when you got to be strong.
Positive! Black, white, pink or brown.
Positive! Live in the city or you live in the town.
Positive! Ooh yes we have to stay positive.
Positive! No matter what the crisis is.

Live the life you love, love the life you live
and no matter what the crisis is.
When there's life to live, and there's love to give
why should you be negative?
You got to stay positive!

pato banton - tudo de bom

In this world of so much confusion
I have come to the conclusion
the only way to change the situation
is to turn to the father of creation.
A little time of meditation
to generate some motivation
and then we'll go all around the nation
spreading Jah positive vibration.

Tudo de bom, tudo de bom
tudo de bom, tudo de bom
and everything is all right.

Num mundo de tanta confusão
já cheguei a conclusão
para mudar a situacão
vamos ao Pai da criacão.
Um pouco de meditacão
para gerar motivacão
sair por toda essa nacão
levando Jah à sua vibracão.

Tudo de bom! And everything is alright.
Tudo de bom! So we no bother we no fuss or fight.
Tudo de bom! We come together and we all unite.
Tudo de bom! And everything is gonna be alright.
Tudo de bom! Everybody come listen to me.
Tudo de bom! Listen good and listen keenly.
Tudo de bom! Me giving prays to the almighty.
Tudo de bom! For my brazilian friends also family.

What the world needs now, is love sweet love
no, not just for some, but for everyone.
O que o mundo quer agora, é amor doce amor
não, não só pra uns, mas pra tudos.

pato banton - universal love

In a world of so much hate, crime and injustice
what we need right now is some universal love.
Unconditional love ya.

There's a vibe in the air
I can feel it everywhere. Universal love!
If you want it you can have it
just reach out and grab it now. Universal love!
It's a gift from above
fits me like a glove. Universal love!

Take a look around you
tell me now what do you see?
Do you see peace and harmony
or do you see war and misery?
It's time for us to realize
it's time for a change, right now.
Time for us to put our heads together now
and rearrange.

Come on, come on, come on!
Universal love! I want it.
Universal love! Got to have it now.
Universal love! Yes I want it.
Universal love!

Word!
It's extraordinary when you check it out
love is one of the most used words without a doubt.
Singers use it constantly because a love song
can make lots of money.
So many people find it appealing
but do they really know the true meaning of love?
The real thing not no imitation
not lust or infatuation.
Let's forget about the love in the T. V.
the kiss me baby, squeeze me, please don't leave me.
True love is a heavenly gift
and it never gets possessive or selfish.
The more you love is the more you care
the more you care is the more you share.
With your mother, your father, your sister and your brother
and every member of the human race.
