Lyrics

Here we are
 Here we are
 Yeah
 ♪
 This one right here is for the people
 Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote
 Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye
 Ni kêra môgô
 Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote
 (Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye) Hey yo D, let's go all the way in 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 of the gold and thief of the scrolls
 And even the buried bones
 Some of the worst paparazzis 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 go flee when the monster is fully grown?
 Solomonic lineage weh 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) Can you get with that?
 (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)
 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
 No, 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 speak 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, they scared of the truth
 (Sabali, sabali, sabali, kiye) We patient
 (Ni kêra môgô) 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
 Microwave 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
 So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson
 Watch ni- 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 'cause
 Like somebody got a doll of me
 Stickin' needles in my arteries, but I can't feel it
 Sometimes it's like part of 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 yonkote) Yeah
 (Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye) Yeah, yeah, what?
 (Ni kêra môgô)
 (Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote)
 Goes to all the wisdom and knowledge seekers of the world
 (Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye) Sabali, wisdom
 (Ni kêra môgô) Yeah
