Intro:
For my elders and ancients... I shall proceed and continue to rock
(Alpha P., Shortbus, MADK)

Hook:
Man Listen,
Ancient is our tradition.
It’s going to take a nation of millions
Man Listen, man listen
Ancient is our tradition
Its going to take a nation
Man listen, man listen…
Ancient is our tradition
its going to take a nation of millions,
Its going to take a nation.

Verse 1:
My crew is so dope but you already know though.
From the CD to Sodo go hard in the booth with the bars and the truth in the vocals.
In direct opposition to that garbage they keep giving you.
Negative stereotypical counterintuitive visuals
Conducive to doing nothing
Building futures off of fronting and some “maybe if’s”
Laziness.
Hoping to get paid perpetuating self hate
Thats some craziness.
That ‘aint the way to go it’ll take its toll
Slave owners; they’re professionals at breaking souls
You better…Act ;like you say you know
All summer long they’ve been snatching up our babies homey
Want it all?
Its only natural, then say that homey
But the fall is to sell your soul to make that money
I mean come on;
Respect The Culture and they can’t act funny
Castle walls made of dreams that they can’t take from you
Castle walls made of dreams that they can’t take from me


Hook:
Man Listen,
Ancient is our tradition.
It’s going to take a nation of millions
Man Listen, man listen
Ancient is your tradition
Its going to take a nation
Man listen, man listen…
Ancient is your tradition
A nation of millions,
Its going to take a nation.

Verse 2:
The world we live in
Racists puppets and henchmen
The people can only protest with the oppressors permission
As long as it causes problems in pockets of politicians
They’re not stopping the checks they are cutting murderers of our children
Puerto Rico
No drinking water or power for their hospitals
Territory demolished and we charging them for assistance?
But they’re citizens too.
The only policies authorized
The ones that get rid of you (Not White)
And confusion’s a tool
The ogres in office been taking the focus off truth
They’ll make them a coffin as soon as they graduate school
Perpetual debt is the cost of a country at feud
Tax breaks for the richest
Man this shit isn’t cool. (Its not right)
Been silent for a minute
I’ll amplify my position on circumstances and victims until conditions improve
The reason it’s called a movement because there’s shit you can do
Envision the truth
Intentionally make decisions and move

Hook:
Man Listen,
Ancient is our tradition.
It’s going to take a nation of millions
Man Listen, man listen
Ancient is your tradition
Its going to take a nation
Man listen, man listen…
Ancient is your tradition
A nation of millions,
Its going to take a nation.
…Man listen, Man listen…
