[Intro: Nas]
2
Here we are
3
Here we are
4
Yeah
5
This one right here is for the people
6
[Hook]x2
7
Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote
8
Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye
9
Ni kкra mфgф
10
[Interlude: Nas]
11
Hey yo D
12
Let's go all the way in on this one
13
[Verse 1: Damian Marley]
14
Some of the smartest dummies
15
Can't read the language of Egyptian mummies
16
An' a fly go a moon
17
And can't find food for the starving tummies
18
Pay no mind to the youths
19
Cause it's not like the future depends on it
20
But save the animals in the zoo
21
Cause the chimpanzee dem a make big money
22
This is how the media pillages
23
On the tv the picture is
24
Savages in villages
25
And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids, huh
26
Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids
27
Stereotyping the image of the images
28
And this is what the image is
29
You buy a khaki pants
30
And all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones
31
An' a thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones
32
Some of the worst paparazzis I've ever seen and I ever known
33
Put the worst on display so the world can see
34
And that's all they will ever show
35
So the ones in the West
36
Will never move East
37
And feel like they could be at home
38
Dem get tricked by the beast
39
But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully grown?
40
Solomonic linage whe dem still can't defeat and them coulda never clone
41
My spiritual dna that print in my soul and I will forever Own Lord
42
[Hook]x2
43
[Interlude: Nas]
44
Yeah, Sabali. That's patience. That's what the old folks told me
45
Discovering the World before this World. A World buried in time
46
Uncover with rhymes. It gets no realer
47
[Verse 2: Damian Marley]
48
Huh, we born not knowing, are we born knowing all?
49
We growing wiser, are we just growing tall?
50
Can you read thoughts? Can you read palms?
51
Huh, can you predict the future? Can you see storms, coming?
52
The Earth was flat if you went too far you would fall off
53
Now the Earth is round
54
If the shape change again everybody woulda start laugh
55
The average man can't prove of most of the things
56
That he chooses to speak of
57
And still won't research and find out
58
The root of the truth that you seek of
59
Scholars teach in Universities and claim that they're smart and cunning
60
Tell them find a cure when we sneeze
61
And that's when their nose start running
62
And the rich get stitched up, when we get cut
63
Man a heal dem broken bones in the bush with the wet mud
64
Can you read signs? Can you read stars?
65
Can you make peace? Can you fight war?
66
Can you milk cows, even though you drive cars? Huh
67
Can you survive? Against all odds, now?
68
[Hook]x2
69
[Interlude: Nas]
70
It's crazy when you feed people the truth you don't know how they're gonna react
71
You're scared of wrong doers, people that just ignorant
72
You're scared of the truth, be patient for now
73
[Verse 3: Nas]
74
Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Qur'an?
75
And was it a lightning storm
76
That gave birth to the Earth
77
And then dinosaurs were born? Damn
78
Who made up words? Who made up numbers?
79
And what kind of spell is mankind under?
80
Everything on the planet we preserve and can it
81
Microwaved it and try it
82
No matter what we'll survive it
83
What's hue? What's man? What's human?
84
Anything along the land we consuming
85
Eatin', deletin', ruin
86
Trying to get paper
87
Gotta have land, gotta have acres
88
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson
89
Watch niggas play the game like the Lakers
90
In a world full of 52 fakers
91
Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers
92
You superstitious? Throw salt over your shoulders
93
Make a wish for the day cuz
94
Like somebody got a doll of me
95
Stickin' needles in my arteries
96
But I can't feel it
97
Sometimes it's like 'pardon me, but I got a real big spirit'
98
I'm fearless... I'm fearless
99
Don't you try and grab hold of my soul
100
It's like a military soldier since seven years old
101
I held real dead bodies in my arms
102
Felt their body turn cold, oh
103
Why we born in the first place
104
If this is how we gotta go?
105
Damn
106
[Outro: Nas]
107
This goes to all the wisdom and knowledge seekers of the World
108
Sabali, Patience, yeah
Patience
