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 

 Am 
Are we born not knowing, are we born knowing all? 

We growing wiser, are we just growing tall? 
Em7 
Can you read thoughts? Can you read palms? 

Huh, can you predict the future? Can you see storms, coming? 
Em7 
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 
Am7 
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 
Em7 
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 
Am7 
And the rich get stitched up, when we get cut 

Man a heal dem broken bones in the bush with the wet mud 
Em7 
Can you read signs? Can you read stars? 

Can you make peace? Can you fight war? 
Am7 
Can you milk cows even though you drive cars? Huh 

Can you survive against all odds now? 

Am 
Sabali, Sabali, Sabali 
Em 
Mi kera mogo 
Am 
Sabali, Sabali, Sabali 
Em 
Mi kera mogo 

Am 
Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Qur'an? 

And was it a lightning storm 
Em 
That gave birth to the Earth 

And then dinosaurs were born? damn 
Am 
Who made up words? Who made up numbers? 

And what kind of spell is mankind under? 
Em 
Everything on the planet we preserve and can it 

Microwaved it and try it 
Am 
No matter what we'll survive it 

What's hue? What's man? What's human? 
Em 
Anything along the land we consuming 

Eatin', deletin', ruin 
Am 
Trying to get paper 

Gotta have land, gotta have acres 
Em 
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson 

Watch niggas play the game like the Lakers 
Am 
In a world full of 52 fakers 

Gypsies, seances, mystical prayers 
Em 
You superstitious? throw salt over your shoulders 

Make a wish for the day cuz 
Am 
Like somebody got a doll of me 

Stickin' needles in my arteries 
Em 
But I can't feel it 

Sometimes it's like 'part of me 

But I got a real big spirit' 
Am 
I'm fearless, I'm fearless 

Don't you try and grab hold of my soul 
Em 
It's like a military soldier since seven years old 

I held real dead bodies in my arms 
Am 
Felt their body turn cold, oh 

Why we born in the first place 
Em 
If this is how we gotta go? 
Am  Em 
Damn 

Am 
Sabali, Sabali, Sabali 
Em 
Mi kera mogo 

Am 
Sabali, Sabali, Sabali 
Em 
Mi kera mogo

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali 
Em 
Mi kera mogo
