Ancient People (feat. Jr. Reid)

These ancient thoughts

This ancient love

These ancient hearts

These ancient souls

These ancient songs

These ancient people

Oh

These ancient thoughts

This ancient love

These ancient hearts

These ancient souls

These ancient hopes

These ancient people

Oh

Like a bird in the sky

And the sea and the birds

And the trees and the songs

The melody

Like a mountain, like a valley

Like the river, like the lake

Like the earth when it quakes

Space and sea

This is rock and roll meets Aristotle

I fly those G5's through the skies to Cabo

Martial arts more ancient than tabo

Schwartzman more ancient than Zorro

Ancient like the Pharaoh's or priests of Yoruba

Or Obeah, your phobia, you peril

Your path narrow like climbin' mountain Kilimanjaro

Ancient men traded cattle

Before Columbus was lost in travel

Ancient canoes got paddled

Before the horse saddle there was camel

Spears before arrow

Arrow before ammo

Tribal paint before camouflage

Chief before sarge or lieutenant

Village elders before the senate

Used to sail the seas

Before the compass was invented

Ancient people spoke free

They didn't need a first amendment

In the beginning the drum was the text sendin'

There was moons before months

And time before minutes

These ancient people

Oh

From love onto language onto hieroglyphics

The invention of the wheel onto automatics

The almanac, the calendar onto geographics

Herbal medicine to antibiotics

Ginseng to acetonic

Water pump, water pump onto hydraulics

Moonlight, candle light onto electronics

Instinct to knowledge

Classroom to college

Oh

Man he bust the Earth

Man a bust the sky

Junior Gong and Junior Reid, we meditation it so high

Man a trod the gravel

It dirty and it dry

Oh, them see no wings but man can fly

Babylon fi splurt, them don't know what life is worth

Oh

Tell them stop pollutin' mother Earth

Man a make a trot

Me robe, me sandals, and me rod, them should've known

He has said man is man of God
