Patience

[00:04.17] Here we are
[00:07.69] Here we are
[00:10.84]
[00:14.94] Yeah
[00:19.41]
[00:26.70] This one right here is for the people
[00:30.71] Sabali, sabali, sabali, yonkontê
[00:35.32]
[00:38.29] Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye
[00:44.32] Ni kêra môgô
[00:45.93] Sabali, sabali, sabali, yonkontê
[00:50.51]
[00:53.70] Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye (Ay yo D)
[00:57.74] (Let's go all the way on this one)
[01:00.15] Ni kêra môgô
[01:01.21] Some of the smartest dummies
[01:03.33] Can't read the language of Egyptian mummies
[01:05.73] An' a fly go a moon
[01:07.35] And can't find food for the starving tummies
[01:09.42] Pay no mind to the youths
[01:11.07] 'Cause it's not like the future depends on it
[01:13.21] But save the animals in the zoo
[01:14.89] 'Cause the chimpanzee dem a make big money
[01:17.25] This is how the media pillages
[01:18.88] On the TV the picture is
[01:20.70] Savages in villages
[01:21.46] And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids, huh
[01:24.74] Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids
[01:27.85] Stereotyping the image of the images
[01:30.04] And this is what the image is
[01:32.15] You buy a khaki pants
[01:33.58] And all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones
[01:36.15] An' a thief out gold and thief out
[01:37.51] The scrolls and even the buried bones
[01:39.47] Some of the worst paparazzi's, I've ever seen and I ever known
[01:43.42] Put the worst on display so the world can see
[01:45.72] And that's all they will ever show
[01:47.55] So the ones in the West will never move East
[01:49.77] And feel like they could be at home
[01:51.58] Get tricked by the beast
[01:52.69] But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully grown?
[01:55.08] Solomonic linage whe dem still
[01:57.02] Can't defeat and them coulda never clone
[01:59.12] My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever own, Lord
[02:03.69] Sabali, sabali, sabali, yonkontê (Yeah, sabali,
[02:08.29] Thats patience) (That's what the old folks told me)
[02:11.41] Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye
[02:17.00] Ni kêra môgô
[02:18.76] Sabali, sabali, sabali,
[02:20.64] Yonkontê (Discovering the world
[02:22.27] Before this world) (A world buried in time)
[02:26.03] Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye (Uncover with rhymes, it gets no realer)
[02:28.64]
[02:32.75] Ni kêra môgô
[02:34.16] Huh, we born not knowing, are we born knowing all?
[02:38.48] We growing wiser, are we just growing tall?
[02:42.18] Can you read thoughts? Can you read palms?
[02:45.86] Huh, can you predict the future? Can you see storms, coming?
[02:49.87] The earth was flat, if you went too far you would fall off
[02:53.66] Now the Earth is round,
[02:54.43] If the shape change again everybody woulda start laugh
[02:57.32] The average man can't prove of most of
[02:59.05] The things that he chooses to speak of
[03:00.85] And still won't research and find out,
[03:03.08] The root of the truth that you seek of
[03:04.86] Scholars teach in universities and
[03:07.09] Claim that they're smart and cunning
[03:09.13] Tell them find a cure when we sneeze
[03:11.09] And that's when their nose start running
[03:13.14] And the rich get stitched up, when we get cut
[03:16.39] Man a heal dem broken bones in the bush with the wet mud
[03:20.95] Can you read signs? Can you read stars?
[03:24.64] Can you make peace? Can you fight war?
[03:28.37] Can you milk cows, even though you drive cars? Huh
[03:32.67] Can you survive, against all odds, now?
[03:36.15] Sabali, sabali, sabali, yonkontê (It's crazy)
[03:43.07] Sabali, sabali, sabali,
[03:47.66] Kiye (When you feed people the truth
[03:49.06] You don't know how they're gonna react)
[03:50.16] Ni kêra môgô
[03:51.72] Sabali, sabali, sabali,
[03:55.19] Yonkontê (You're scared of wrong doers,
[03:58.33] People that just ignorant, you're scared of the truth)
[03:59.46] Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye (Be patient for now)
[04:05.15] Ni kêra môgô
[04:06.98] Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Qur'an?
[04:09.63] And was it a lightning storm
[04:11.53] That gave birth to the Earth
[04:12.94] And then dinosaurs were born? Damn
[04:14.51] Who made up words? Who made up numbers?
[04:16.79] And what kind of spell is mankind under?
[04:18.87] Everything on the planet, we preserve and can it
[04:21.23] Microwaved it and try it
[04:22.83] No matter what we'll survive it
[04:24.13] What's hue? What's man? What's human?
[04:25.51] Anything along the land we consuming
[04:28.50] Eatin', deletin', ruin
[04:30.51] Trying to get paper (What)
[04:32.13] Gotta have land, gotta have acres (True)
[04:34.38] So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson
[04:36.15] Watch niggas play the game like the Lakers
[04:38.33] In a world full of 52 fakers
[04:39.93] Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers
[04:42.39] You superstitious? Throw salt over your shoulders
[04:44.90] Make a wish for the day cuz
[04:46.11] Like somebody got a doll of me
[04:47.43] Stickin' needles in my arteries
[04:49.06] But I can't feel it
[04:50.16] Sometimes it's like 'pardon me, but I got a real big spirit'
[04:53.29] I'm fearless, I'm fearless
[04:55.32] Don't you try and grab hold of my soul
[04:57.79] It's like a military soldier since seven years old
[05:00.99] I held real dead bodies in my arms
[05:03.66] Felt their body turn cold, oh
[05:05.74] Why we born in the first place
[05:07.34] If this is how we gotta go?
[05:08.95] Damn
[05:09.57] Sabali, sabali, sabali, yonkontê
[05:16.75] Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye
[05:22.10] Ni kêra môgô
[05:24.58] Sabali, sabali, sabali,
[05:27.94] Yonkontê (This goes to all the
[05:30.16] Wisdom and knowledge seekers of the world)
[05:31.91] Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye (Sabali, Patience, yeah)
