Pato Banton - King Step (original)

Left right left right
Left right left right
Left right left right

Me a go show you how fi do the king step, left right
Me a go show you how fi do the king step, left right
Me a go show you how fi do the king step, left right
Me a go show you how fi do the king step

As soon as Mad Professor fling the music 'pon the deck
Is pure exciting, educating, fascinating, pirate chanting
Culture preaching, perfect timing lyrics you a go get
The whistlers blow them whistle, big women say "Kiss me neck"
Some bawl "Forward", some bawl "Rewind" and some shout out "eject"
While the pirates press record 'pon fe dem pocket size cassettes
The MC's that chat slack fret till dem armpit wet with sweat
Because they know that slackness is a thing I man do not respect

That's why me haffi show dem how fe do the king step, left, right
Me haffi show dem how fi do the king step, left right

Well before me start to go down in a dis ya subject
Me have to praise you Jah 'cause you never fail I yet
Even when Satan captured me and bring me close to death
You offered me the truth and right and I had to accept
But now me find you Jah me na go keep it secret
That's why the conscious lyrics are me favourite subject
Me chat dem in the blues party, pub, club and discotheque
Me chat dem in the bookie shop while man a put on bet
Me chat dem in the gambling house when man ready fe set
And even to bad man who a walk wid dem ratchet
Me chat dem a UB40 Studio in Digbeth
And when dem want more culture dem a shout out "Dep, Dep, Dep"
But me tell them, "hold on lads you ain't heard nothing yet
'Cause now I'm gonna show ya how to do the king step"

Left, right
Me a go show you how fi do the king step, left right
Me a go show you how fi do the king step

Left right it's time to walk in the light of Jah not darkness
Left right who Jah bless no man curse, who Jah curse no man bless
Left right eternal life for the man that tries his very best
Left right do bad and you'll go down in the pit that's bottomless
Left right left right Pato Banton has now come to preach the right
Left right left right me no partial if your black or if your white
Left right well now me know how fe do the king step
Me just cannot keep it a secret
So right ya now you a go get
The king step, the king step, the king step

Step 1, we all should know that there's one Jah and only one
Step 2, is give him praises for this whole creation
Step 3, is love your brother man 'cause you and him is one
Step 4, is not to make the same mistake as Solomon
Step 5, is to repent and beg forgiveness for your wrongs
'Cause the wrath of Jah is clear to see in Revelation
So make up mind if you want to go to Hell or Zion
Step 6, oh yes there's more the king step carries on
It carries on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
Step 6, is once you know the truth to pass the message on
And do the king step daily as you trod upon Jah land
So when the right time comes for Babylon's destruction
You'll be among the few to march towards Mount Zion
Left-Right, Left-Right..
