Lyrics: Ancient People

(with Damian Marley
feat. Junior 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 camel
Large
Chief before sarge, I'm lieutenant
Village elders before descendant
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 ...

These ancient thoughts

These ancient songs
These ancient people

These ancient thoughts
This ancient look
These ancient hearts
This ancient soul
These ancient hopes
These ancient people
