Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni ni kêra môgô
5
Some of the smartest dummies
6
Can't read the language of Egyptian mummies
7
An' a fly go a moon
8
And can't find food for the starving tummies
9
Pay no mind to the youths
10
Cause it's not like the future depends on it
11
But save the animals in the zoo
12
Cause the chimpanzee dem a make big money
13
This is how the media pillages
14
On the TV the picture is savages in villages
15
And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids, huh
16
Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs
17
Of the little kids, stereotyping the image of the images
18
And this is what the image is, you buy a khaki pants
19
And all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones
20
An' a thief out gold and thief out the scrolls
21
And even the buried bones
22
Some of the worst paparazzis I've ever seen and I ever known
23
Put the worst on display so the world can see
24
And that's all they will ever show so the ones in the west
25
Will never move east and feel like they could be at home
26
Dem get tricked by the beast
27
But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully grown?
28
Solomonic linage whe dem still can't defeat
29
And them coulda never clone, my spiritual DNA
30
That print in my soul and I will forever own Lord
31

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni ni kêra môgô
35
Huh, we born not knowing, are we born knowing all?
36
We growing wiser, are we just growing tall?
37
Can you read thoughts, can you read palms?
38
Huh, can you predict the future, can you see storms, coming?
39
The earth was flat if you went too far you would fall off
40
Now the earth is round if the shape change again
41
Everybody woulda start laugh
42
The average man can't prove of most of the things
43
That he chooses to speak of
44
And still won't research
45
And find out the root of the truth that you seek of
46
Scholars teach in Universities
47
And claim that they're smart and cunning
48
Tell them find a cure when we sneeze
49
And that's when their nose start running
50
And the rich get stitched up, when we get cut
51
Man a heal dem broken bones in the bush with the wed mud
52
Can you read signs, can you read stars?
53
Can you make peace, can you fight war?
54
Can you milk cows, even though you drive cars
55
Huh, can you survive, against all odds, now?

60
Who wrote the Bible, who wrote the Qur'an?
61
And was it a lightning storm
62
That gave birth to the earth
63
And then dinosaurs were born? Damn
64
Who made up words, who made up numbers?
65
And what kind of spell is mankind under?
66
Everything on the planet we preserve and can it
67
Microwaved it and try it
68
No matter what we'll survive it
69
What's hu, what's man, what's human?
70
Anything along the land we consuming
71
Eatin', deletin', ruin, trying to get paper
72
Gotta have land, gotta have acres
73
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson
74
Watch niggas play the game like the lakers
75
In a world full of 52 fakers
76
Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers
77
You superstitious? Throw salt over your shoulders
78
Make a wish for the day
79
'Cause like somebody got a doll of me
80
Stickin' needles in my arteries but I can't feel it
81
Sometimes it's like 'pardon me
82
But I got a real big spirit', I'm fearless, I'm fearless
83
Don't you try and grab hold of my soul
84
It's like a military soldier since seven years old
85
I held real dead bodies in my arms
86
Felt their body turn cold, oh
87
Why we born in the first place
88
If this is how we gotta go? Damn
Patience
