Nas & Damian Marley - Patience + lycris
[00:04.54] Here we are, here we are, yeah
[00:28.80] This one right here is for the people
[00:31.04] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte
[00:38.79] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye
[00:42.54] Ni kera mogo
[00:46.54] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte
[00:52.04] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni (Hey, yo, D, let's go all the way in on this one)
[01:00.80] Ni kera mogo
[01:02.05] Some of the smartest dummies can't read the language of Egyptian mummies
[01:05.79] Plant a flag on the moon and can't find food for the starving tummies
[01:09.33] Pay no mind to the youths 'cause it's not like the future depends on it
[01:13.30] But save the animals in the zoo 'cause the chimpanzee them make big money
[01:17.04] This is how the media pillages, on TV the picture is savages in villages
[01:20.80] And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids
[01:24.79] Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids
[01:27.79] Stereotyping the image of the images and this is what the image is
[01:30.02] You buy khaki pants and all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones
[01:35.54] And thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones
[01:40.04] Some of the worst paparazzi's I've ever seen and I ever known
[01:43.29] Put the worst on display so the world can see and that's all they will ever show
[01:47.29] So the ones in the West will never move east and feel they could be at home
[01:51.32] Get tricked by the Beast but where them gon' flee when the monster is fully grown?
[01:55.29] Solomonic linage where them can't defeat and them could never clone
[01:59.04] My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever own, Lord
[02:03.79] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (yeah, that's patience, it's what the old folks told me)
[02:10.03] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye (can you get with that?)
[02:17.28] Ni kera mogo
[02:19.28] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (discoverin' the world before this world, a world buried in time)
[02:25.80] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni (uncovered with rhymes, it gets no realer)
[02:32.27] Ni kera mogo
[02:35.27] We born not knowing, are we born knowing all?
[02:37.55] We growing wiser, are we just growing tall?
[02:41.56] Can you read thoughts? Can you read palms?
[02:45.04] Can you predict the future? Can you see storms coming?
[02:50.05] The Earth was flat, if you went too far, you would fall off
[02:53.55] Now the Earth is round, if the shape change again, everybody would start laugh
[02:57.08] The average man can't prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of
[03:00.79] And still won't research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of
[03:05.29] Scholars teach in universities and claim that they're smart and cunning
[03:08.56] Tell them find a cure when we sneeze and that's when their nose start running
[03:13.04] And the rich get stitched up when them get cut
[03:15.80] Wanna heal them broken bones in the bush with the wet mud
[03:20.54] Can you read signs? Can you read stars?
[03:24.54] Can you make peace? Can you fight war?
[03:27.79] Can you milk cows even though you drive cars?
[03:31.29] Can you survive against all odds now?
[03:35.29] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (it's crazy)
[03:42.04] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye (when you feed people the truth, you don't know how they gon' react)
[03:50.27] Ni kera mogo
[03:51.79] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (you scared of wrong-doers, people that's just ignorant)
[03:59.54] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni (and scared of the truth, we patient for now)
[04:05.04] Ni kera mogo
[04:07.28] Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Qur'an, and was it a lightning storm
[04:12.79] That gave birth to the Earth and then dinosaurs were born?
[04:15.03] Who made up words? Who made up numbers, and what kind of spell is mankind under?
[04:18.04] Everything on the planet we preserve and can it, microwaved it, and try it
[04:22.78] No matter what we'll survive it
[04:24.29] What's hu-? What's -man? What's human?
[04:26.83] Anything along the land we consumin', eatin', deletin', ruin
[04:29.52] Tryin' to get paper, gotta have land, gotta have acres
[04:33.32] So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson, watch niggas play the game like the Lakers
[04:38.29] In a world full of fifty-two fakers, Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers
[04:42.04] You superstitious, throw salt over your shoulders, make a wish for the day 'cause
[04:46.04] Like somebody got a doll of me, stickin' needles in my arteries, but I can't feel it
[04:50.04] Sometimes it's like, "pardon me, but I got a real big spirit"
[04:53.54] I'm fearless, I'm fearless, don't you try and grab hold of my soul
[04:57.29] It's like a military soldier since seven years old
[05:01.04] I held real dead bodies in my arms, felt they body turn cold, oh
[05:05.29] Why we born in the first place ff this is how we gotta go? Damn
[05:09.29] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (yeah)
[05:16.04] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye (yeah, yeah, what)
[05:22.29] Ni kera mogo
[05:27.53] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte (this goes to all the wisdom and knowledge seekers of the world)
[05:31.55] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni (Sabali, patience, yeah)
