Nas and Damian Marley - Patience

[00:03.77] Here we are,

[00:08.02] here we are,

[00:14.39] yeah

[00:27.67] This one right here is for the people

[00:30.60] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

[00:38.30] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye

[00:44.67] Ni kera mogo

[00:46.00] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

[00:53.71] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni

[01:00.09] Ni kera mogo

[01:01.69] Some of the smartest dummies

[01:03.01] can't read the language of Egyptian mummies

[01:05.67] Plant a flag on the moon

[01:07.00] and can't find food for the starving tummies

[01:09.39] Pay no mind to the youths

[01:10.98] 'cause it's not like the future depends on it

[01:13.11] But save the animals in the zoo

[01:14.97] 'cause the chimpanzee them make big money

[01:17.09] This is how the media pillages,

[01:18.69] on TV the picture is

[01:20.81] savages in villages

[01:21.61] And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids

[01:24.55] Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids

[01:28.26] Stereotyping the image of the images and this is what the image is

[01:32.52] You buy a khaki pants and all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones

[01:35.97] And thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones

[01:39.95] Some of the worst paparazzis I've ever seen and I ever known

[01:43.68] Put the worst on display so the world can see and that's all they will ever show

[01:47.92] So the ones in the west will never move east and feel they could be at home

[01:51.37] Get tricked by the Beast but where them gon' flee when the monster is fully grown?

[01:55.36] Solomonic lineage where them can't defeat and them could never clone

[01:59.34] My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever own, Lord

[02:03.34] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

[02:11.31] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye

[02:19.01] Ni kera mogo

[02:19.28] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

[02:26.46] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagno

[02:32.83] Ni kera mogo

[02:34.42] We born not knowing,

[02:36.02] are we born knowing all?

[02:38.14] We growing wiser,

[02:40.00] are we just growing tall?

[02:42.13] Can you read thoughts?

[02:43.72] Can you read palms?

[02:45.84] Can you predict the future?

[02:47.70] Can you see storms coming?

[02:50.09] The Earth was flat, if you went too far, you would fall off

[02:53.28] Now the Earth is round, if the shape change again, everybody would start laugh

[02:57.26] The average man can't prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of

[03:00.98] And still won't research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of

[03:04.97] Scholars teach in universities and claim that they're smart and cunning

[03:09.22] Tell them find a cure when we sneeze and that's when their nose start running

[03:12.94] And the rich get stitched up

[03:14.80] when them get cut

[03:15.86] Wanna heal them broken bones in the bush with the wet mud

[03:20.38] Can you read signs?

[03:22.50] Can you read stars?

[03:24.62] Can you make peace?

[03:26.22] Can you fight war?

[03:28.61] Can you milk cows

[03:29.67] even though you drive cars?

[03:32.62] Can you survive

[03:33.95] against all odds now?

[03:36.34] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

[03:41.66] (it's crazy)

[03:43.78] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye

[03:50.16] Ni kera mogo

[03:51.77] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

[03:59.20] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni

[04:05.58] Ni kera mogo

[04:07.44] Who wrote the Bible?

[04:08.23] Who wrote the Qur'an?,

[04:10.10] and was it a lightning storm

[04:11.43] That gave birth to the Earth and then dinosaurs were born?

[04:14.61] Who made up words?

[04:15.67] Who made up numbers,

[04:16.73] and what kind of spell is mankind under?

[04:18.86] Everything on the planet we preserve and can it,

[04:21.25] microwaved it, and try it

[04:22.84] No matter what we'll survive it

[04:23.91] What's hu-?

[04:24.70] What's -man?

[04:25.23] What's human?

[04:26.04] Anything along the land we consumin', eatin',

[04:28.95] deletin',

[04:29.75] ruin

[04:30.55] Tryin' to get paper,

[04:32.14] gotta have land,

[04:33.47] gotta have acres

[04:34.26] True

[04:34.80] So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson, watch niggas play the game like the Lakers

[04:38.25] In a world full of fifty-two fakers, Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers

[04:41.97] You superstitious, throw salt over your shoulders, make a wish for the day 'cause

[04:45.95] Like somebody got a doll of me, stickin' needles in my arteries, but I can't feel it

[04:49.94] Sometimes it's like, "pardon me,

[04:52.06] but I got a real big spirit"

[04:53.39] I'm fearless,

[04:54.19] I'm fearless,

[04:55.52] don't you try and grab hold of my soul

[04:57.37] It's like a military soldier

[04:59.50] since seven years old

[05:01.36] I held real dead bodies in my arms, felt they body turn cold,

[05:04.81] oh

[05:05.61] Why we born in the first place if this is how we gotta go? Damn

[05:09.06] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkonte

[05:16.50] Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye l

[05:22.61] Ni kera mogo
