The same year he went on to perform at reggae sunsplash. He continued as the lead MC of Saxon. Big up all the Saxon crew.

      Even better when you learn that it was produced in England not Jamaica. Also neither the performer, Papa Levi nor the producer, MAXI PRIEST were born or raised in Jamaica--though both are of Jamaican parentage./in fact, a recent TH-cam interview (from 'Irish & Chin'?) shows that PL never grew up speaking patois. Maybe BROKEN patois, but he still remembers the long fast DJ flows. Now THAT's impressive.

    This tune put the English Mcs on the map Levi was ahead of his time lyrically just like Asher Senator Leslie Lyrics the late Smiley Culture and from the Wandsworth area the late Daddy Willie from Brixton Tippa Irie from the Midlands Macka B and Pato Banton these guys studied the genre and took the baton and forged ahead . Levi stood out bcos of his personality and humour and he was a confrontational Mc who was confident of his ability and knew the business only time I see him rattled is when he came across Daddy Willie who was very similar to him in style plus he had lyrics too 1985 High Wycombe. Those were the days everyone wanted to dj and spit lyrics I must admit know done it as good as the Saxon djs .Don't get me wrong there were djs just as lyrical I've mentioned a few above Champion from Brixton Ricky Rankin also but the Saxon djs had that polish like they ate slept it basically they were very professional.

    Mi God Mi King Lyrics
    Yeah!
    In smoking sensimillia you gotta give thanks and praise on to the Almighty Lord God jahoviah!
    Do it, jah!
    Murdah!
    Mi god, mi king, him name Jahoviah. Jah man
    Mi god, mi king, him name Jahoviah
    He inspire me to be a mic chanta
    Me mask wid deh mic 'round the amplifier
    Me fling wey deh slackness, cah now a culture
    Pure conscious lyrics yuh a go hear me utter
    So if you are an adult or a teenager
    Say everyday you wake you fe read a chapter
    Beginning of wisdom is the fear of jah
    The bottomless pit mek we throw lucifer
    They tek wey we gold, jah man, them tek we silver
    Them hang me pupa and rape me madda
    The ship me from the wonderful land of africa
    Fi slave fi dih plantation owner
    They take wey we name, jah man, them call we nigga
    The only word we know »I isa coming, massa!«
    Them tell we say we ingnorant and inferior
    And how them intelligent and superior
    Through the complexion of them skin color
    But I as a youth born as a super
    Me badda dan deh bite from a tarantula
    You hear fi mi voice a come through the speaker
    But it sounds sweeter with the echo chamber
    R fi di roots
    C fi di cultcha!
    Seh S for selassie earth rightful ruler
    Seh once as a lamb going to di slaughta
    Now the conquering lion of the tribe of judah
    You can't enter zion with a bushmaster
    An m16 or an revolver
    Se (s)tan a babylon with you ammunition
    Ca deso a de ultimate destruction
    Pupa levi pon the version. Hail jah man
    A Levi pon the version
    How me stay?
    Jah man mi cool, nuh stubborn like mule
    Mi walk pon de streets nuh gwaan fool fool
    A right at the dance a mic a mi tool
    Eat pon table sit on a stool
    No black me brown me brown no black
    Me ribs a(t) me chest, me spine a(t) me back
    Trousers have pocket and pocket have flap
    But soul or rock but reggae mi chat
    Cap an no buck an deh buck ha no cap
    At deh bottom a bass and treble a top
    Me hot no cold, dey cold no hot
    Electricity can give you a shock
    No fraid for no mouse no fraid for no rat
    Start from the bottom me reach to the top
    Eat out the snack, di pot ha di pap
    Me run at deh toilet mi cut the crap
    Me hungry again me no eat a snack
    Cah from me a youth me no scour no pot
    Fe me head dread me head it no plat
    No live in no house me live in a flat
    Lord in di year when dis riddim drop
    Yuh head yuh toe yuh body a rock
    From me pon deh mic dis ya lyric a top
    Well slacknes a bottom and culture pon top
    African land of the I’n’I spot
    In time of trouble jah not tun him back
    Me pray to jah, mi never will stop
    Who worship satan a foolish idiot
    Jah blow breath, the devil can not
    Who get a bullit, now mista Sadat
    After Reagan pump Levi a shot
    Malcolm X dem kill pon deh spot
    Up inna zion deh righteous will top
    Down inna hell the wicked a rot
    The sweetest singer a Sugar Minott
    The maddest comedian a Kenny Everett
    Dracula tun inna vampire bat
    But when him see sun him cyaan tek dat
    You eye dem dark fi use contact
    But deh pon deh mic is Levi a chat
    Not so long jah walk pon deh land
    The peaceful righteous rastaman
    Troddin with the maccabee inna him hand
    Preaching love to man and woman
    Get crucify by the roman
    Them let him to cross street foot an him hand
    Rise again the resurrection
    Well a him create the earth an heaven
    Take six days no take him seven
    Give riches to king Solomon
    Make him wiser than all other man
    Eve couldn’t mek without of adam
    Live in a babylon as a black man
    Where all me face is racialism
    When me weak they seh that me strong
    When me right they seh that me wrong
    Through me no check di politician
    No care who win no election
    Pon the mic me please everyone
    Flashing down style an fashion
    Mi god, mi king, him name Jahoviah
    Mi god, mi king, him name Jahoviah. Yes
    He inspire me to be a mic chanta
    Me mask wid deh mic 'round the amplifier
    He inspire me to be a mic chanta
    Me mass wid eh mic ‘round the amplifier
    Me fling wey deh slackness, cah now a culture
    Pure conscious lyrics yuh a go hear me utter
    So if you are an adult or a teenager
    Say everyday you wake you fe read a chapter

    I have to thank the great John Peel for introducing yourselves to us. I was decorating my mum and dad's home at the age of 14 and your music got us through. It was thrilling and so uplifting. I felt I could decorate everyone's house in the road. That was the inspiration. In later life, I could not find "mi God mi King" anywhere. Thanks to the internet, we can share this wonderful music. Many thanks. E. x
