I feel ashamed that I haven’t found this after 11 years. What a beautiful song man. He is directly combating toxic mindsets, needs to happen way more often.

00:01 - 04:24 PATIENCE (SABALI) Lyrics Intro: Nas] Here we are Here we are Yeah This one right here is for the people [Chorus] Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye Ni kêra môgô Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye Ni kêra môgô [Interlude: Nas] Hey yo D Let's go all the way in on this one [Verse 1: Damian Marley] 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 the gold and thief out 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 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 [Chorus] Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye Ni kêra môgô Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye Ni kêra môgô [Interlude: Nas] 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 [Verse 2: Damian Marley] 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? [Chorus] Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye Ni kêra môgô Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye Ni kêra môgô [Interlude: Nas] 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 [Verse 3: Nas] 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 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 '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 [Outro: Nas] This goes to all the wisdom and knowledge seekers of the World Sabali, Patience, yeah
This song LITERALLY takes my breath away and gives me chills go in soo hard on this! He aint like all them other artists who just be usin dat *IGROCKET dawwwt cawwwm jawwwwn* to go HAM ON THE GRAM smh seem like anyone can get mad followers on the gram like Island Boys dun did
@Ogungbadega Martins j cole is good but overrated Nobody even bumped J Cole back when that “work out” song came out then everyone started jumping on his bandwagon after “crooked smile” and especially 2014 forest hills
I need a time machine to step back and pass this on to my former self. Such a wonderful creation you all have made here with this one. Absolutely timeless fire.
Nas and Damian arent that underground either though. Also a lot of mainstream musicians make quite thoughtfull and conscience tracks from time to time while both Nas and damian made quite a few promotiom- and partytracks which lyrics fit the mainstream genre quite well
All the untold stories are in this masterpiece 🎵 !! It is with no doubt One of most meaningful realist & deepest rap/song to ever be dropped to the world 🙏🌎 #patience
Даже не зная слов этой песни она трогает меня до глубины души. а слушая этот шикарный бит перед глазами проносится вся жизнь. боже храни этот шедевр века и после меня!
I remember when I was around ten or eleven years old, meeting Nas at my cousin's engagement party, and he was an incredibly humble and kind person, you wouldn't know he was a celebrity. Still listen to this track a decade later, and it just gets more and more relevant.
This song shock me last night. Also was in absolute shock because I’ve never heard Damien do anything but sing, ded ass he’s like completely a sick ass rapper the bars cadence, the way he uses his accent as well. But damn. I’m still swimming up to the surface from how deep this took me. Next morning and I had a want to play it, I think it’s gonna become one of my favourites. Love to you Damien, your dad would be more than proud of you.
Subject matter and utilizing tools to make different sounds isn’t the problem with the progression of music in fact if producer didn’t doctor the songs that you do like you would be surprised what some of your favorite artists actually sound like
Such powerful art, love this. Watched it too many times when it first came out nice to revisit. Moved me to tears until Nas starts his verse and it kinda dives from a high place for me. Which is cool but personally feel the song would be stronger without reference to Jack Nicholson and watching the Lakers and all this.
I first heard Welcome to Jamrock from him when it came out and this right here is just on another level....what Damian Marley is saying in this song, is beyond music.
Social media is a load of bollocks, but randomly it surprises you... I came across this song last night and I'm like... how have I never heard it before? Such a great track challenging the realities and midsets we all see and the pigheaded nature we all poses!
This will forever be a classic!!
HIT THE THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!! 👍🏽

PATIENCE (SABALI) Lyrics
Intro: Nas]
Here we are
Here we are
Yeah
This one right here is for the people
[Chorus]
Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote
Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye
Ni kêra môgô
Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote
Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye
Ni kêra môgô
[Interlude: Nas]
Hey yo D
Let's go all the way in on this one
[Verse 1: Damian Marley]
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 the gold and thief out 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
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
[Chorus]
Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote
Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye
Ni kêra môgô
Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote
Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye
Ni kêra môgô
[Interlude: Nas]
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
[Verse 2: Damian Marley]
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?
[Chorus]
Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote
Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye
Ni kêra môgô
Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote
Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye
Ni kêra môgô
[Interlude: Nas]
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
[Verse 3: Nas]
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 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 '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
[Outro: Nas]
This goes to all the wisdom and knowledge seekers of the World
Sabali, Patience, yeah
@Eric Overton Nas too did... Wouldn't say either killed the other but that first verse was on steroids
Greatest rap lyrics from a most unlikely source Damien son of Bob!
Amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks
Sorry nas. D really went in.... factz
A letra é curiosa e inteligente o ritmo e beat são intensos e relaxantes a arte é impressionante palmas apenas
This is more relevant today than it ever was. Powerful. Can't stop playing
Todavía me acuerdo lo que escribía en mi cuaderno yo vivía un infierno ya 3 dias que no duermo una melodía que sanaria este dolor eterno✊
If you're listening it in 2090, I'm already dead but remember one thing, "this one took my soul"!!! Classic masterpiece!
💯💯💯
Reality 🙏
wow
Still alive though ❤️
Yes rattle the soul like thunder
After so many years this is still one of the best songs i ever heard. Touches the soul. Very deep
same dude. got a feeling thatll ring true forever
Dame bro
This song LITERALLY takes my breath away and gives me chills
go in soo hard on this! He aint like all them other artists who just be usin dat *IGROCKET dawwwt cawwwm jawwwwn* to go HAM ON THE GRAM smh seem like anyone can get mad followers on the gram like Island Boys dun did
Island boys dun sold their souls
Used to think I'm the only one.
I happy I not the only one who feel the exact same thing. Like dammmmn this is so goood.
Timeless masterpiece and 12 years later Distant relatives still remains one the best albums i have listened to.
17 January 2023 and this is still a banging tune...very relatable to what is happening in my country,South Africa Now...
I totally agree with you
Wish we got a whole album of Marley and nas
One of the deepest songs in hip-hop history no doubt
@Ogungbadega Martins j cole is good but overrated
Nobody even bumped J Cole back when that “work out” song came out then everyone started jumping on his bandwagon after “crooked smile” and especially 2014 forest hills
Well 2pac blasphemy was better.... 😁😁😁 Nas didn't deliver... He was street not conscious... J Cole would be better on this
There's Immortal Technique too
DIOS ME LOS BENDIGA GRANDEMENTE UY MUY UMILDE SELES QUIERE LA REBUENA Y SON MUY BUENOS ARTISTAS Y EL VIDEO JENIAL QUE NOTA
And Reggae
This song get's deeper as the years move along. Powerful.
The message in this song can safe generations and generations to come... Favorite song of all time.
Never in my wildest dreams could I dream of writing lyrics like these Damian's lyrics. Such an artist and a deep thinker! Like father like son!
The whole album's excellent.
Nas and Damien have great musical chemistry
timeless rap tells a story while others tell fantasy,big ups to nas and jr for being real
Crazy how songs like this exist and people still won’t wake up
Well said unfortunately some people are to far gone and have become brainwashed.
So,
You have read the Quran
You no I love listening to this
But I’m not going to start a movement on my own
Nope those are the tales of white men
You so right
This speaks to my soul... 30k yrs from now they still have the same profound impact on people in the future. This is a banger n will remain so.. ✊🤝
This is a masterpiece...it will live in our hearts forever
Still one of the best and realest and most factual track around 🔥🔥💙
I need a time machine to step back and pass this on to my former self. Such a wonderful creation you all have made here with this one. Absolutely timeless fire.
Clássico. .. A mas de 10 anos que sinto essa obra 🔥🚀
This is one of those extremely rare songs that just hits you different. Truly a masterpiece.
Just no God at all
No God except Allah
@Sanders Ben ch1F xgcag
@Sanders Ben
Listen to damien lyrical
You'll never hear something like this in mainstream now. But imagine if the mainstream rappers went to this...
The would would be a better place
Nas and Damian arent that underground either though. Also a lot of mainstream musicians make quite thoughtfull and conscience tracks from time to time while both Nas and damian made quite a few promotiom- and partytracks which lyrics fit the mainstream genre quite well
That would be crazy tho
This song gives me literal chills😌⚡
All the untold stories are in this masterpiece 🎵 !! It is with no doubt One of most meaningful realist & deepest rap/song to ever be dropped to the world 🙏🌎
#patience
Даже не зная слов этой песни она трогает меня до глубины души. а слушая этот шикарный бит перед глазами проносится вся жизнь. боже храни этот шедевр века и после меня!
Damian is truly the hook in this song, his accent, his mannerisms his believe in the lyrics is truly visible. One can almost say perfect
Real music is timeless. 2022, and this remains relevant.
one day i hope that this kind of suffering will one day be only distant history
2023
This is wat we call masterpiece of music that will never die and thanks for the jam to the generation don't let this die🙏💯 🔥🌏
I like to listen to all type of music but I have to say this is the best song I have ever heard in my life. A true masterpiece.
Song is a masterpiece through and through. This coming from someone that listens to heavy metal almost exclusively.
One of the best songs ever made
This song will never die. What a beautiful song
One of the greatest songs ever.
Clearly they don't make this type of music anymore...this is a masterpiece made by two legends
@Pat Dixon good idea to share music. We all prefer our own taste though 🤷♂️
@Aaron Miller I ask because I love music and I'd love to put a list together against yours. "A friendly vs battle" for the best mixtape?? You game?
@Aaron Miller you ever get around to making that list?
Check tom macdonald

Beautiful message. I hope it reached everybody's heart like it did mine.

Love to you Damien, your dad would be more than proud of you.
Music is meant to be felt NOT heard.
This song brings the feeling back. Incredible masterpiece
2023 y lo sigo escuchando como la primera vez ... Terrible obra Maestra...
This guy shows us that good music can be made without autotune, girls twerking, expensive cars, swearing or drugs. Love this masterpiece.
Subject matter and utilizing tools to make different sounds isn’t the problem with the progression of music in fact if producer didn’t doctor the songs that you do like you would be surprised what some of your favorite artists actually sound like
Definitely auto tune over the hook
@Svenstrup Lodge you SHOULD know that none of these things (especially the dancing girls) have anything to do with your religions super villain
There's lots of music where none of that is present... You are talking one genre of music, clearly you don't open yourself up to new types of music.
Tremenda Música para despertar la conciencia
Listening to this song with my son after so many years, brings alot of good memories and grateful heart. 2023 here!
A really great song with a lot of meaning. Hope this song never dies
It’s not. It’s still beautiful.
Melhor musica do mundo que ja ouvi❤❤❤
2023 and still is one of the best songs ever made!
My daughters mother was in labor for 27 hours. I listened to this song on repeat the day my little Queen was born 🥰🤗
Beautiful
Yh you defo needed patience
Poetic and beautiful bro
Legend bro congrats
May God bless you more ☺️🙏🏻✨
Timeless masterpiece
Track that heals the soul ❤
Still my ringtone and my alarm music for the morning🤞🏾
Such powerful art, love this. Watched it too many times when it first came out nice to revisit. Moved me to tears until Nas starts his verse and it kinda dives from a high place for me. Which is cool but personally feel the song would be stronger without reference to Jack Nicholson and watching the Lakers and all this.
2023 Still on repeat. Still powerful. Even more than ever in today’s time.
I love how each of bobs children have their own unique voice yet you can still hear Bob breaking through in all of them, chills man
@John Paul Esmeralda sorry Patrick Mayonnaise is not an instrument
@Meadow Flowers God said be fruitful and multiply.
Thought that too ...
bob is not a god, bob is the instrument of god!!

This song will live forever credit too all the members 🔥
This song is the one who took me on my path back on 2011. Still on that road

Music isn't meant to be heard its meant to be felt
His father would be proud of him . This song is one of the greatest of all time
