Sabali


Please look to the post below to play the music to accompany these lyrics


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
Save the animals in the zoo
'Cause them chimpanzees, them-a make big money

This is how the media pillages:
On the TV the picture is
Savages in villages
And the scientists 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
All of a sudden you'sa Indiana Jones
And a-thief out gold and a-thief out scrolls and even the buried bones
Some of the worst paparazzis I have seen and have ever known
Put the worst on display so the world can see
And that's all that we're ever shown

So the ones in the west will never move east
And feel dem could be at home
Dem get tricked by the beast
But where a-dem goin' flee when the monster is fully grown?

Solomonic lineage what dem still can't defeat and dem could never clone
My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever own
Lord



Huh, we born not knowing, or are we born knowing all?
We growing wiser, or are we just growing tall?
Can you read thoughts? Can you read palms?
Huh, can you predict the future? Can you see storrrrrrrrrrrms 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 gonna 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 dem find a cure when we sneeze and that's when their nose starts running
And the rich get stitched up when we get cut
Betta 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?



NAS:

Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Koran?
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 it and can it
Microwave 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 sit back like Jack Nicholson, watch niggas play the game like the Lakers
In a world of 52 fakers, gypsies, seances, mystical prayers
You superstitious?

Throw salt over your shoulder, 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 feel this...I'm fearless
Don't you try to grab a hold of my soul
It's like a military soldier, since 7 years old
I held real dead bodies in my arms
Felt their bodies turn cold

Why we born in the first place if this is how we gotta go?
Damn
