Lyrics

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 This ancient look These ancient hearts This ancient soul These ancient songs These ancient people All of these ancient thoughts This ancient look Ancient hearts Ancient soul 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 Ancient thoughts Ancient look Ancient hearts Ancient soul Ancient songs Ancient people Ancient thoughts Ancient look Ancient hearts Ancient soul Ancient hopes Ancient people
