Intro – low ancestral drums, whispered chorus in the background
Shhh… listen.
You feel that?
That’s your blood talkin’.
That’s your origin wakin’ up.
They never left — they waitin’.
⸻
[Hook – haunting chant, layered voices like ancient choir]
The ancestors call your name (hear it)
Stand up — you were never claimed (free)
Don’t fold — you were never tamed (rise)
Remember — you were never chained (truth)
The ancestors call your name (listen)
You born — you ain’t here to obey (nah)
Wake up — step out they frame (go)
Living law — reclaim your flame (burn)
⸻
[Verse 1 – steady, reverent, commanding]
They speak through heartbeat, breeze, and bone,
“Child, stop livin’ like you ain’t grown.”
You come from breath, not state nor throne,
No paper made you — intent alone.
They built a world to blind your sight,
fed fear, sold comfort, stole your right.
But ancient voices cut through night,
they whisper truth: you always light.
You ain’t descendant of helpless souls,
you born from warriors, creators, roles.
Stand in the truth existence holds,
you sovereign breath — break false controls.
⸻
[Hook – louder, with drum accents]
The ancestors call your name (hear it)
Stand up — you were never claimed (free)
Don’t fold — you were never tamed (rise)
Remember — you were never chained (truth)
The ancestors call your name (listen)
You born — you ain’t here to obey (nah)
Wake up — step out they frame (go)
Living law — reclaim your flame (burn)
⸻
[Verse 2 – more intense, urgency rising]
They survived ships, steel, empire lies,
not to see you scroll life while spirit dies.
You ain’t “citizen” — you divine surprise,
a walking cosmos, breath in disguise.
They didn’t fight so you code-switch fate,
beg for dignity from the same old gate.
You ain’t no servant, resident, subject state —
existence itself, you self-create.
So when fear rise, stand still, inhale,
feel ancestry travel through your cells.
No system built can hold your shell —
Intent is law — let truth prevail.
⸻
[Bridge – whispered like spirit message]
We behind you.
We around you.
We inside you.
We are you.
You not lost — you just forgot.
Remember.
⸻
[Hook – final, layered like a spiritual rally]
The ancestors call your name (rise)
Stand up — you were never claimed (free)
Don’t fold — you were never tamed (never)
Remember — you were never chained (truth)
The ancestors call your name (awake)
You born — you ain’t here to obey (nah)
Wake up — step out they frame (move)
Living law — reclaim your flame (Life 1st)
⸻
Outro – whispered over fading drums
They don’t own you.
They never did.
Be what you came as.
Be.
Life 1st.
