Nas & Damian Marley - Patience Chords

[Am] _ _ _ [Em] Here we are, _ [Am] here we are.
_ [Em] _ _ _
[Am] Yeah.
_ _ [C] _ [Em] This _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Em] one right here is for the people. _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [A] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [C] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ AOD.
[Em] Let's go all the way in on [G] this one.
[Am] Some of the smartest mummies carry the language of Egyptian [Em] mummies on a flag of Amun and
can't find food for the starving [Am] tummies.
Pay no mind to the youths, cause it's not like the [Em] future depends on it.
We'll save the animals in the zoo, cause the [C] chimpanzees, they make big money.
This is how the media pull it is.
On TV the picture is, [Em] savages in villages and scientists can't explain the pyramids.
[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] The biocarchy, [C] for instance, all of a sudden we were in Indiana Jones.
[Em] And not even the gold and the scrolls and even the buried bones.
[Am] Some of the worst paparazzi I've ever seen and I've ever known.
[Em] Who's the worst on this place that the world can see and the salt that we'll never show.
[Am] So the ones in the west will never move [C] east and feel like we'll be at home.
[Em] Get tricked by the beast but I hope they're not gonna flee when the monster is fully grown.
[Am] Salamonic lineage where them two can't defeat and them two don't ever clown.
[Em] The spiritual DNA that prints in my soul and I will forever own.
[Am] _ [C] Yeah.
Yeah.
[Em] Subali, it's patience.
The old [Am] folks told me.
Can you give it [Em] that? _ _ _
[Am] Discovering the world before this [Em] world.
A world buried in time. _ _
[Am] _ Uncovered with rhymes.
[A] _ [Em] _ Gets no realer.
[Am] Are we born not knowing?
[C] Are we born knowing all?
[Em] Are we growing wiser?
Are we just growing tall?
[Am] Can you read thoughts?
Can you read palms?
[Em] Can you predict the future?
Can you see storms [C] coming?
The earth was flooded.
You went too far you would fall off.
[Em] Now the earth is round.
If the shape changed again everybody would have stopped off.
[Am] The average man can't prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of.
[Em] And still run research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of.
[Am] Scholars teach in universities and claim that [Em] they're smart and cunning.
Tell them find a cure when we sneeze and that's when their nose starts [Am] running.
And the rich gets mixed up when we get caught up.
[Em] Wanna heal them broken bones in the bush with the wet mud.
[C] Can you read signs?
Can you read stars?
[Em] Can you make beats?
Can you fight war?
[Am] Can you milk cows even though you drive cars?
[Em] Can you survive?
But there's a lot [Am] now.
_ _ [C] _ [Em] _ It's crazy. _
[Am] _ [A] When you feed people the [Em] truth you don't know how they're gonna react.
[C] You scare the wrongdoers.
People [Em] that's just ignorant.
They're scared of the truth. _
[Am] _ _ _ [A] [Em] Be patient.
For now.
[Am] Who wrote the bible?
[C] Who wrote the Quran?
And was it [Em] a lightning storm that gave birth to the earth and then dinosaurs were born?
[Am] Who made up words?
Who made up the laws?
Who made up numbers?
And what kind of spell is mankind [Em] under?
Everything on the planet we preserve and carry.
Microwave it and [C] try it no matter what we'll survive it.
What's human?
What's man?
What's human?
[Em] Anything along the line we're consuming.
Eating, deleting, [Am] ruining.
Trying to get paper.
Gotta have land.
Gotta [Em] have acres.
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson.
Watch niggas play the game like [C] the Lakers.
In a world full of 52 fakers, gypsies, seances, mystical [Em] prayers.
You superstitious, throw salt over your shoulders.
Make a wish for [Am] the day cuz.
Like somebody got a doll of me.
Sticking needles in my arteries.
But [Em] I can't feel it.
Sometimes like pardon me.
But I got a real good [C] spirit of fearless.
Don't you try to grab hold of [Em] my soul.
Like a military soldier since 7 years [Am] old.
I held real dead bodies in my arms.
Felt they body turn [Em] cold.
Why we born in the first place?
If this is how we gotta [Am] go.
Goes _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] to _ [Em] all the wisdom and knowledge seekers of the world. _
[Am] _ _ _ [Em] Shabali.
Patience.
