Patience


Damian Marley - Patience Am Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, Em Mi kera mogo Am Some of the smartest dummies, can’t read the language of Egyptian mummies Em And they fly go 'a moon, and can’t find food for the starving tummies Am Pay no mind to the youth, cause it’s not like the future depends on it Em But save the animals in the zoo, cause the chimpanzee them a make big money Am This' how the media pillages, on the TV the picture is Em Savages in villages, and the scientist still can’t explain the pyramids, huh Am Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids Em Stereotyping the image of the images, and this is what the image Is Am You buy a khaki pants and all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones Em And thief out the gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones Am Some of the worst paparazis I’ve ever seen and I ever known Em Put the worst on display so the world can see and that’s all they will ever show Am So the ones in the West will never move East and feel 'they could be at home Em They get tricked by the beast but a where them ago' flee when the monster is fully grown? Am Solomonic linage but dem still can’t defeat and them coulda never clone Em My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever Own Lord Are 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?
