Patience (ft. Nas)

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