Nice Up the Session Songtext
von Pato

Yo, excuse me then, a boss
What you mean excuse me?
You no know say I have five pound for come in this session?
Five pound and me come in for nice it up
Settle man, oh, you no know say a Pato Banton this
Cool now, slide and go through

I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session

Well, my name is Pato, I′m a cool youth man
Was a DJ, then a MC, but now a Banton
To flash my lyrics to the world is my occupation
On a record, on a cassette, even at the mic stand
When I go to the dance, I go there with one intention
To make the people live good and tell me fi gwan
So if you're a promoter or a damn gateman
Just let me pass when you hear me start fi sing this song


I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session

I want all MCs now to stand to attention
And turn your ears all inna fi mi direction
It′s Ranking Pato at the microphone station
The only MC to get so many vision
I know my aim, I know my destination
True me no blind, me see the situation
You cannot make it without nuff ambition
This is a fact, I know that it ain't fiction

I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session

I'm twenty-two, no twenty-one
Me waist thirty, no thirty-one
Short me no long, me no weak, me strong
Me a number one inna any land
Hail Jah man, just come along

Admit I am the champion
Please everyone, man, woman
Come, make also Rastaman


Special request and a vital man
To everyone inna this session
Whether you′re young, whether you′re old
Whether you're hot, whether you′re cold
Black, you white, you pink, you brown
You deh pon the box, deh pon the ground
Wear a smile and don't you frown
When Pato′s on the microphone

I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session

Sometimes in life you've got to make a prediction
Just like a man weh deal with plenty promotion
When me a chat the mic, me use me discretion
You know that slackness is a thing me no mention

If you chat slack, then I will give my opinion
It′s plain to see that now is revelation
This is the time that we should teach the children
The truth and right, not freeness and corruption

If you continue with your stupid intention
This is a message coming straight from I man
I hope to strike you with the rod of correction
'Cause that's the only way you learn fi your lesson

The other day me catch up with some policeman
Because they never like the T-shirt I had on
On the front it said, "South Africa should belong to the black man"
On the back it said, "Legalize ganja, ban nuclear weapon"
They beat me up and took me down to the station
Next day I was in court for causing obstruction
But now I′m in the dance, I give you some fashion

I didn′t come here for no competition

I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session
I only came here to nice up the session
