Nas & Damian Marley - Patience

This one right here is for the people

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye

Ni kera mogo

Some of the smartest dummies can't read the language of Egyptian mummies

Plant a flag on the moon and can't find food for the starving tummies

Pay no mind to the youths 'cause it's not like the future depends on it

But save the animals in the zoo 'cause the chimpanzee them make big money

This is how the media pillages, on TV the picture is savages in villages

And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids

Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids

Stereotyping the image of the images and this is what the image is

You buy khaki pants and all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones

And thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones

Some of the worst paparazzi's I've ever seen and I ever known

Put the worst on display so the world can see and that's all they will ever show

So the ones in the West will never move east and feel they could be at home

Get tricked by the Beast but where them gon' flee when the monster is fully grown?

Solomonic linage where them can't defeat and them could never clone

My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever own, Lord

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye

Ni kêra môgô

Huh, we born not knowing, are we born knowing all?

We growing wiser, are we just growing tall?

Can you read thoughts? can you read palms?

Huh, can you predict the future? can you see storms, coming?

The Earth was flat if you went too far you would fall off

Now the Earth is round If the shape change again everybody woulda start laugh

The average man can't prove of most of the things That he chooses to speak of

And still won't research and find out

The root of the truth that you seek of

Scholars teach in Universities and claim that they're smart and cunning

Tell them find a cure when we sneeze

And that's when their nose start running

And the rich get stitched up, when we get cut

Man a heal dem broken bones in the bush with the wet mud
