what does sattamassagana mean?

Don't listen to felix, I think he's having one on you...it should read "sent a message"

in context it makes the most sense and Joe didn't have the best diction....

No, he's definitely not saying "sent a message." Satta Massagana means "give thanks." http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_Satta_Massagana_mean

@queenjane Satta Massagana is a Rastafarian hymn. The storyteller is saying that Jimmy Jazz is in a lot of trouble with the police, so sing this hymn for him. It’s not that deep of a song, but just another outstanding song from London Calling. The Clash are incredible!
