[starquisite]

[xseansmith]

this is so fucking beautiful. nas is a genius, damian marley is a prophet. don't worry, you're shaping the youth just fine. we will win this war on peace.

[HestiaMaman]

this is way better than Lil Wayne.

[h4rp4g4n]

sabali refers to "wisdom" repeated thrice

[AlbaniaGamers]

3 dislikes , they are my neighbors , I PLAY THIS SONG ALL THE DAY :)

[nezkikool]

Once again, Damian Marley uses HUGE sample ... Nothing good is from him, he is not a creator but a profiteer ... :(

This music : Amadou and mariam - sabali

Welcome to jamrock --> Ini kamoze - world a reggae music

Road to Zion --> Ella Fitzgerald - Russian Lullaby

As we enter --> Mulatu astatke - Yegelle Tezeta

... etc.

I am actually ok with sampling (I am fond of Amon Tobin), but not this way. His songs are nothing without those samples :(.

Shame on you Damian, your not a Marley.

[ladylover350]

@nezkikool Fuck you, Its about the meaning of the text not about the FUCKING BEAT!

[iMetaKritic]

@nezkikool you car emore about a beat then the fucking lyrics? dude go fuck yourself. you dont deserve to listen to any music if all you care about is the beat. if beat means so much to you listen to techno, dance, electronic, and dubstep. but i doubt even they would want you as a fan.

[Rodrigoandnietzsche]

@iMetaKritic dude don't fucking tell people what the fuck they should do!!!

[iMetaKritic]

@Rodrigoandnietzsche did i ask for your opinion. nope didnt think so.

[Rodrigoandnietzsche]

@iMetaKritic the poor guy you are flaming didnt ask for your opinion neither

[iMetaKritic]

@Rodrigoandnietzsche ill let you know when i care

[Rodrigoandnietzsche]

@iMetaKritic do you care now? what about now? and now?

[Rodrigoandnietzsche]

@iMetaKritic twat.

[iMetaKritic]

@Rodrigoandnietzsche nope still dont care and never will. btw im not british so the word "twat" is not in my vocabulary.

[Rodrigoandnietzsche]

@iMetaKritic how about "gayfag", Mr. Thesaurus?

[iMetaKritic]

@Rodrigoandnietzsche gayfag is not a word. Did you drop out of school or somehting? Give up kid nothing you could say is ever going to bother me

[Rodrigoandnietzsche]

@iMetaKritic who the fuck are you, the Buddha?

[iMetaKritic]

@Rodrigoandnietzsche nope i just dont give a shit about you

[iMetaKritic]

@Rodrigoandnietzsche hahah cool story bro

[Duphyyscott]

I JUST LISTENED NOW AND I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THIS SONG SAYS...meanwhile u have to be WISE to know. Tagline solomon..all my life av lived wit solomon's words of Proverbs..that book sayz everything, wen u read it only then can u communicate with God..TO B WISE IS TO FEARGOD

[OTTOMANTURK90]

WTF!! 2 dislikes you must be smoking crack or your a illuminati member you faggits

[silentge]

MaghaRii musiKaa :**

[XpnLef]

i am not really sure that sabali means patience because the beats is from Amadou and Mariam ( a blind couple from mali in africa where i am from) and in my country sabali is translated as pardon, please, something like that

[aqmar101]

@XpnLef sabali is the african of sabr. sabr means patience in arabic. Nas is muslim you know....

[D10toM10]

the scientist still can't explain the pyramids? what? we're in 21st century and we have the best research and facilities.. i am college student and im not even doing science major but i can explain the pyramids.. surely "some of the smartest dummies" like Damian said.. peace

[stickygnarwhal]

@D10toM10 explain em them mr high and mighty



[D10toM10]

@stickygnarwhal [Quran 28.38] And Pharaoh said to his people: "I have not known a god for you other than myself; so Haman, light me a fire to bake clay so that I could build a rise high enough, maybe I see Moses' god whom I think is a liar."

[jelanieastmond1]

@ Iwantstudy

Jamaican is not a language. They speak english just with an accent, or very often speak a patois.

[poc1101]

@jelanieastmond1 Our Patois is not English, its sounds like it but the spelling is completely different, not difficult to pronounce but difficult to spell. In school they try to tell us that English is the proper way to speak but its not, it should b our 2nd language and English is the 2nd language for most Jamaican. Although u can speak English backwards bcuz ur so good at it, if I were speaking patois if u dont know it you wont understand a word im saying

[chicitycornerboy]

Praise God!



[Desmondabassah]

I REALLY LOVE THIS MUSIC ITS SO TOUCHING .......PATIENCE .....BIG UPS GUYS.....

[umjameela]

saba means patience in Arabic x

[Iwantstudy1]

@umjameela

Yeah man that is right

[umjameela]

saba means patience in Arabic x

[black17mamba]

[lobomau]

This is good, but the original is much better!

[topnotchcontents]

Boring

[toonde101]

@topnotchcontents i respectfully disagree. this is in fact an amazing song.

[Smokeherbs718215]

@topnotchcontents your mother is boring lol kill your self by the way.

[topnotchcontents]

@Smokeherbs718215 you're implying that you had sex with my mother? Shes like 70 that's gross, gotta get you some younger tang bro. Get it together.

[aqmar101]

@topnotchcontents lolol

[81kakou]

I like damian marley , but i prefer the theophilus london's remix ! ;)

[420BOYStv]

[londonerxy]

A propose; look at Qur'an for those questions' answers in the song. I did and it woked. Cheers

[MemphsTgr]

[siglawoo]

@popote35 i dont condemn no one's existence. and you really didn't get what i meant.

[nhybgtvfrcdexszwqa]

Lol Amadou and Mariam

[popote35]

[Niceguy1510]

Song of the Century!

[jlunke3]

Stephen marley produced this.

[Shallonja]

Sabali! Sabali! Sabali yonkontê - Patience! Patience is worth everything

Sabali! Sabali! Sabali kayi - Patience! Patience is good

Ni kêra môgô - If you love someone

[siglawoo]

Those who dislikes has no idea what is life about, and why are they born !

[popote35]

@siglawoo If you had one, you wouldn't type this message, since you are condemning, but does the one who love and care for the other do that ?

[cmekill64]

i hate how ignorant people hate hip hop saying is all about drugs,sex and cars.

[R1vaL1562]

HOW DO YOU DISLIKE A SONG LIKE THIS AND IT TELLS YOU ABOUT YOU INNER SELF SMFH YALL LIL WAYNE FANS NEED TO GO JUMP OFF A FUCKING CLIFF ALREADY!

[Spinnazn1]

I don't think people no how sick this beat is yet the song Just BEAST

[CaptainBlankENT]

I appreciate you taking the time to post the lyrics. I really believe that every word in this song is precious, and in order to properly appreciate it, we should know every lyric and reference therein.

[tvmember]

its souheli

[NoiSeCommander]

What douse sabali means?

[4thletta]

@NoiSeCommander Patience

[hawakeita]

@4thletta yes you're right. it means patience.she's just saying patience is good and there's nothing like it. and she also said " as a person its good to have patience"

[MrRebuttal]

@NoiSeCommander

Out of kindness I won't call you a fool but you should READ the Title.

It clearly says Patience with Sabali beside it. So many people ask questions without even reading the description.

[brycebrewer]

@NoiSeCommander

The song says it itself,

2:10 "Sabali is patience, it's what the old folks told me"

Someone (hence you) does not listen to the lyrics even when given.

Tsk...Tsk...

[mk9391]

@NoiSeCommander

quote from the song: "Sabali. It means patience"

[CALEBTHEGREAT88]

Can you predict the future ??

Can you see storms coming ???

Ignorance coupled with a naive train of thought allows most of us to believe that this Convenient life we lead will be sustainable forever. The fact of the matter is that our quaint little existence serially grows more convoluted by the day, and will eventually tighten around all of our throats. The future is extricable, but before we can free it,we must see it.

MUCH MORE than music going on here. This track is TOO REAL to ignore

[DaCrucifix]

this song really made me think and i have the same questions man nas is a beast i love this song

[christina84fine]

I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG IT MEANS TO ME THAT BASICALLY ITS CRAZY HOW WE ARE ON THIS EARTH THEN WE DIE.

[raikiri24]

jr gong all day jah rastafari praise selassi I

[1370rivera]

i think the language is bambara or something along those lines

[waltkay12]

patience dat is wat i was told.....

[Kirimitsu]

Because people like damian marley exist god has brought tsunami's and earthquakes to japan. Thank you hope your proud of yourself!!

[hazmatb14]

@Kirimitsu WTF :S

[bossmanTremz]

@Kirimitsu Dont show your lack of knowledge in public so blatantly. its embarrassing.

[773koonlay]

@Kirimitsu wow, how idiotic can one person be?

[catramax]

what language is is chorus?

[4thletta]

@catramax The Vocals are sampled from an African singing Duo called Amadou & Mariam .........Their Home land is Mali.So my best guess wolud be the Native Tounge of that country,But im not sure.

[searider92]

@4thletta yeau faka u smart.....im aww stoned an u made dat shit sound like a sweet deal....great sense

[Suave508]

@4thletta..the saying is in the west african language "Bambara" ...it's mostly spoken in Senegal..Ivory coast and other west african countries ..the meaning of "sabali" 3x is similar to "knowledge, wisdom, and understanding" and "yonkonte" is similar to "ya' understand?" or "get it?"

[sarasotauptoseattle]

@catramax Swahili is the language.

[Norgonael]

@sarasotauptoseattle I don't think it is Swahili.. Amadou and Mariam sing this, they sing in Bambara/Bamanankan language of Mali

[hawakeita]

@sarasotauptoseattle not even close. thats malinka from west africa (mali)

[hawakeita]

@catramax its malinka. which is another form of mandingo.(the tribe) its usually found in mali, guinea, sierra leone and other part of west africa. ask me if you want to know more.

source?

me. im a mandingo girl too.

[rezayeh]

@catramax the language is Bambara, from Mali!

[annie8nicole]

@catramax its swahili 

[moguljam]

@annie8nicole No bro you got it wrong It's Bambaba from Mali lol

[moguljam]

@catramax Bambara the native language of Mali (West Africa) :)

[82Lateefah]

@4thletta Very nicely put!!! I couldnt have said any better!!! Ive always loved Nas but together him and Damien have made a beautiful album together. I hope they do another. This is my favorite song in the world right now...literally!!!! This song touched me deep cause its exactly what I think and read about all the time!!!!!

[Carlosloyd1]

God thank you for this blessing..... Sabali....... It couldn't come any clearer..... Thank you for pure intelligence....

[ThorTheOdinSon]

@Carlosloyd1 your confused.

[Makaveli175]

What Does Damien Marley Mean By This - 'scientist still can't explain the pyramids' - Because I was watching A documentary about extraterrestrials and conspiracy people say aliens made pyramids I Don't Know Up to You Your Own Thought's.

[18Curtisjr]

@Makaveli175 He might be referring to the fact that some scientist don't acknowledge that African Americans built the pyramids...

[jacqueline9999]

@Makaveli175 Yes the E.T's did build the pyramids but they don't look like little green men. They are strong powerful black men and women that came from Sirius A (refer to the Dogons) The ancient Dogons were visited by the beings from Sirius A Star system long ago. They knew about the different star systems without the invention of a telescope. The Ancient Eyptians knew all of this. Cairo Egypt was originally known as El Kahir which means Mars. That's y' we're (Blacks) R treated like outcasts.

[4thletta]

@jacqueline9999 Thats Deep.Thanks for that info.

[jacqueline9999]

@4thletta Anytime.

[LocoNaif]

@Makaveli175

lol aliens XD common !! the egyptiens mad pyramids their bodys years ago was lot stronger than nowdays they use big trees and put it under the big stones so it helps them to move it from a place to place ,and here is a tip from brother to brother ok , dont you ever watch that documentay thing any more XD

[r3Dpillz]

@LocoNaif

Those rocks weighed about 2 to 15 tons each. They would've crushed the tress indigenous to that area. And we aren't even calculating how accurate every stone was well as the settling rate of the structure itself. It's totally impossible to duplicate the pyramids in this day and age with the same results with our "better" technology. Which means they were either a lot smarter than us, and it's a lost technology, or something smarter than them shared their technology.

[KelwinDicks666]

Respond to this video... 

[AmbieBambie93]

0:49 = repeat button! :D

[TheTurmoilTbh]

[sweetj15]

1 person must be really really stupid and ignorant to DISLIKE this song....TOO MEANINGFUL AND POWERFUL.....AFRICA IS THE FUTURE!!!

[lilhashvideos]

what message does this song dignify??

[4thletta]

@lilhashvideos what this song means to me is the things that we as human beings hold in a such high esteem like material things (*Cars Clothes Money*) In the end are of no Importance.& The things that are of Importance (*Caring for one another*Giving Back *Having a good relatinoship with the Most High*) We dont hold in High Esteem.& the other message in this song is that Man feels like he knows everything and has barely scratched the surface.

[sbgal13]

@4thletta I love your point of view.

[lifefulloflies]

@4thletta see my videos and you will see everything nas and damien are talking about...the tricks that fool you but if you are conscious all you need is VISUAL TRUTH...the pyramids are our visual truth that teaches us about today lies.

[Creon210]

@4thletta

you sound lika a dousche

[4thletta]

@Creon210 & You sound like a D-O-U-C-H-E That doesnt know how to spell.Enjoy being blocked asshole.No hatin on my page.

[AmbieBambie93]

[4thletta]

@kspatriot92 The one's in the west will never move east cause they feel they will be at home........Get tricked by the BEAST But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully grown?<-----That Line gave me chills the 1st time i herd it cause i knew exctally what he ment when he said it.Moving East (*Africa*) maybe our only Hope to escape "The Beast System" when these Devils try to Barcode & Chip us.Shalom.

[hawakeita]

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkontê= there's nothing compare to patience

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kanyne= patience is good

Ni kêra môgôdi= it literally means if you're a person( but in this case it means "as a person") ( or "if you become somebody") a little complicated to explain.

[rastararhighhhh]
