Ni kêra môgô 

Ay yo D. 

Let's go all the way on this one. 

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 

Photos 

And feel like they could be at home 

Dem 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 

Yeah, Sabali. Thats patience. That's what the old folks told me... 

Discovering the World before this World. A World buried in time. 

Uncover with rhymes. It gets no realer. 

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 wed 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? 

It's crazy when you feed people the truth you don't know how they're gonna react. You're scared of wrong doers, people that just ignorant 

You're scared of the truth, be patient for now. 

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 

Gotta have land, gotta have acres 

So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson 

Watch n-ggas 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. 

This goes to all the wisdom and knowledge seekers of the World. 

Sabali, Patience, yeah.
