The Bar Exam

Artist: Damian Marley

Track: Patience - Nas and Damian Marley

Album: Distant Relatives

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 TV the picture is

Savages in villages

And the scientist still can’t explain the pyramids, huh

Evangelists making a livin' 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 a say a Indiana Jones

An’ a thief all da gold and thief all da 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 da beast

But a where dem a go 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
