Patience Chords by Nas & Damian Jr. Gong Marley

[Am] _ _ _ _ [Em] This one right here is for the people. _
[Am] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ AOD.
[Em] _ Let's go all the way in on this one. _
[Am] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [A] _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ This is for [Am] the people of the pyramids.
Evangelists making a living on the ribs of [Em] little kids.
Stereotyping the image of the images.
And this is what the image is.
[C] You buy a car key, ponce, and all of a sudden you a say a [Em] Indiana Jones
And a keep out the gold, keep out the skulls, and even the [Am] buried bones
Some of the worst paparazzi I've ever seen and I've ever known
[Em] We the worst on this place the world can see and the scarlet will never show
[C] The ones in the west will never move east, some feel there could [Em] be a town
Get tricked by the beast, but I won't let the mother flee when the monster is [Am] fully grown
Salamonic lineage, we the weak can defeat and them coulda [Em] never cloud
The spiritual DNA that prints in my soul and I will forever own
[Am] We [C] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _
born on Maui, are we born [Em] knowing all?
We growing wiser, are we just [Am] growing tall?
Can you read thoughts?
Can you read [Em] palms?
Can you predict the future?
Can you see storms [C]
coming?
The earth was plaited, so when too far you will [Em] fall off
Now the earth is round, if the shape change again everybody woulda [Am] start lost
The average man can't prove of most of the things that he chooses to [Em] speak of
And still go research and find out the root of the truth that you [Am] seek of
Scholars teach in universities [C] and claim that [Em] they're smart and cunning
Tell them find a cure when we sneeze and that's when [Am] their nose start running
And the rich gets rich, now, then we get dark, [Em] now
Gonna heal them broken bones in the bush with the wet [C] mud
Can you read signs?
Can you read [Em] stars?
Can you make beats?
Can you fight war?
[Am]
Can you milk cows?
Can you build your drive [Em] cars?
Can you survive this hot [Am] house now?
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C]
Who wrote the Bible?
Who wrote the Quran?
[Em] And was it a lightning storm that gave birth to the earth and then dinosaurs [Am] were born?
Who made up words?
Who made up numbers?
And what kind of [Em] spell is mankind under?
Everything on the planet we preserve and carry, [C] microwave it and try it
No matter what we're surviving, what's human, what's [Em] man, what's human?
Anything along the line we're consuming, eating, [Am] deleting, ruining
Trying to get paper, gotta have [Em] land, gotta have acres
So I can sit back like Jack Nicholson, watch the [C] game like the Lakers
In a world full of 42 fakers, gypsies, [Em] seances, mystical prayers
You're superstitious, throw so over your shoulders, [Am] make a wish for the day
Cuz like somebody got a doll of me, sticking needles in my [Em] artery, but I can't feel it
Sometimes it's like pardon me, but I got [C] a real good spirit of fearless
Of fearless, you try [Em] to grab hold of my soul
It's like a military soldier since [Am] 7 years old
I held real dead bodies in my arms, felt they body [Em] turn cold
Why we born in the first place if this is how [Am] we gotta go Dang!
_ [C] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [Em] Survival
_ Patience [Am] Dang! _ _ _ _ _ _ _
