Patience

Here we are
Here we are

Yeah

This one right here is for the people

Sabali, sabali, sabali, yonkontê
Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye
Ni kêra môgô
Sabali, sabali, sabali, yonkontê

Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye (Ay yo D)
(Let's go all the way on this one)
Ni kêra môgô

Some of the smartest dummies
Can't read the language of Egyptian mummies
An' a fly go a 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 dem a make big money
This is how the media pillages
On the TV the picture is
Savages in villages
And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids, huh
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 a khaki pants
And all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones
An' a 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 like they could be at home
Get tricked by the beast
But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully grown?
Solomonic linage whe dem still
can't defeat and them coulda never clone
My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever own, Lord

Sabali, sabali, sabali, yonkontê (Yeah, sabali,
thats patience) (That's what the old folks told me)
Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye
Ni kêra môgô
Sabali, sabali, sabali,
yonkontê (Discovering the world
before this world) (A world buried in time)
Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye (Uncover with rhymes, it gets no realer)
Ni kêra môgô

Huh, 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?
Huh, 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 woulda 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 we get cut
Man a heal dem 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? Huh
Can you survive, against all odds, now?

Sabali, sabali, sabali, yonkontê (It's crazy)
Sabali, sabali, sabali,
kiye (When you feed people the truth
you don't know how they're gonna react)
Ni kêra môgô
Sabali, sabali, sabali,
yonkontê (You're scared of wrong doers,
people that just ignorant, you're scared of the truth)
Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye (Be patient for now)
Ni kêra môgô

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? Damn
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 hue? What's man? What's human?
Anything along the land we consuming
Eatin', deletin', ruin
Trying to get paper (What)
Gotta have land, gotta have acres (True)
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson
Watch niggas play the game like the Lakers
In a world full of 52 fakers
Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers
You superstitious? Throw salt over your shoulders
Make a wish for the day cuz
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 their body turn cold, oh
Why we born in the first place
If this is how we gotta go?
Damn

Sabali, sabali, sabali, yonkontê
Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye

Sabali, sabali, sabali,

wisdom and knowledge seekers of the world)
Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye (Sabali, Patience, yeah)
