Stimulation mental

Keeping the vibes alive
Yah inna the world street

Depth of people that know the lows and highs
Inhumane overstanding

Should Jah make their paths collide
All who can balance their mental eyes

Upon their principal side
All who would feel it and empathize

When ugly circumstances rise
HAILE I SELASSIE I THE FIRST over

All the princes of guile
Over rhetorical flare

Over rhetorical flare and style
Behold all concepts of light

And implement it to rise
Inna the E.R.

Inna full surgical garments of light
The Emperor himself

When the lord of spirits sent his Christ
As love of the truth

And that love alone oh will suffice

Story teller from the ancient cellar
Keeper of the legend and the Kushite dweller

Angel ah talk when the griot ah whisper
And the rain it ah fall, no umbrella

Words of wisdom like a boat and propeller
Ancient talk coming like an acapella

Roots tea bubble with the great sarsaparilla
Be true to your word, in your cerebella

Biggest tree yo I could ah fell ah
We ah small axe and we bust like Fela

Ras to the bone mi nuh inna no novela
High up in the mountain snow like Sierra

Drum and bass coming like a real guerilla
Liberation sound, warrior no vanilla

Coded speech like the ancient pillar
Boaz and Joachim enigma…

We are the Banton, we are the Banton

Anywhere we go, yeah we are the Banton
We are the Banton Ras are Banton

Yeah, African Banton

We are the Banton, we are the Banton

Anywhere we go, yeah we are the Banton
We are the Banton Ras are Banton

Yeah, African Banton

The Emperor inna the breach
To inite the divine

Some will refuse his way
And desynchronize

And disintegrate instead of holding the love real tight

And make more war than peace outright

The Emperor inna the breach
To inite the divine

Some will refuse his way
And desynchronize

And disintegrate instead of holding the love real tight
And make more war than peace outright

The Emperor inna the breach
To inite the divine

Some will refuse his way
And desynchronize

And disintegrate instead of holding the love real tight
And make more war than peace outright

18 Pharaoh’s sat upon the golden throne

Ethiopian Kushite built way before Rome
Where Memnon and Emathion were born

Rulers of Arabia remember your home
Land where the Gods live no Olympian zone

Cepheus and Cassopoeia, rulers of old
Empress Candace, rulers of Syrian town

All the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Indus Nile ground
Azanian race is the same Bantu now

Son of Vulcan down there yeah, Priest Manetho
Land of sunburnt people so Hesiod spoke

Tall and handsome, longest livers
Rasta hold the crown…

We are the Banton, we are the Banton
Obvious see it and deny

The Iniverse is infinite
We are the Banton

While they fire up inna bottle
And ah riot in this time yeah

Banton
Agitators refusing to be quiet

And they are all mobilized
African Banton

And politicians do what will be hidden from the public's eye
Banton
Look at the scandals that are rocking the political divide
Banton

The same Hitler cabinet melt down time

Banton
African Banton
