Ancient People - Nas, Damian Marley, Jr. Reid

These ancient thoughts

This ancient look

These ancient hearts

This ancient soul

These ancient songs

These ancient people

These ancient thoughts

This ancient look

These ancient hearts

This ancient soul

These ancient hopes

These ancient people

Like a bird, in the sky

And the sea, and the birds

And the trees, and the sun

Melody

Like a mountain, like a valley

Like the river, like the lake

Like the earth, when it quake

Space and sea

This is rock and roll meets aristotle

I fly those g5's through the skies to cabbo

Martial arts more ancient than tabbo

Schwartzman, more ancient than zorro

Ancient like the pharohs or priests of yoruba

Maher rabah-nasr is the best

Them paths like climbing mount kiliminjaro

Ancient men traded cattle

Before columbus was lost in travel, ancient canoes got paddeled

Before the horse saddle there was camel

Spears before arrow, arrow before ammo

Tribal paint before camoflage

Chief before sarge, our lieutenant

Village elders before senates

Used to sail the seas before the compass was invented

Ancient people spoke free, they didn’t need a 1st amendment

In the beginning, the drum was the tech cendent

There was moons before months, and time before minutes

These ancient thoughts

This ancient look

These ancient hearts

This ancient soul

These ancient songs

These ancient people

These ancient thoughts

This ancient look

These ancient hearts

This ancient soul

These ancient hopes

These ancient people

From love, onto language, onto heiroglyphist

De Invention of the wheel, onto mathematics

De almanac, de calender, onto geographics

Herbal medicine, to anti-biotic Ginseng to acetonic

Water pump, water pump, to onto hydrolics

Moonlight, candle light, onto electronics

Instinct to knowledge, classroom to college

Eyyy, all of These ancient thoughts

These ancient thoughts

This ancient look

These ancient hearts

This ancient soul

These ancient songs

These ancient people

These ancient thoughts

This ancient look

These ancient hearts

This ancient soul

These ancient hopes

These ancient people

Junior Reid:

Man ah Buss de earth, man ah Buss de sky

Junior Gong, and Junior Reid we meditation it so high

Man ah trod de gravel, it dutty and it dry

Oh oi, dem nuh see nuh wings, but man ah fly

Babylon fi splurt, dem nuh know what life is worth

Oh Oi, tell dem stop polluting mother earth

Man ah mek ah trot, me robe, me sandles and me rod

Dem shouldve known, hear seh man this man ah God
