[verse 1]
yo, i’m the first man standing upright, holding a stone in my hand
after beating an ape, claiming the land
taking the stand and feeding my fam
back when man ate they children
i’m k!lling other animals just to nurture them
i journey further from mine, my people, into another culture
not knowin’ my brothers ’bout to come and take over (ayo)
we made it all the way to asia and to australia
then made the passage to the america’s after all behavior
came home and they started makin’ homes outta stone
showin’ tribes around ’em how much they’ve grown

mediterranean, babylon, saudi arabia
