[Intro ] (Spoken) Hear the night breathe — ancestors close, torch lit low. Yeah — feel that pulse. Let it guide. [Verse 1] Angels descend, but we call them ancestors, Beads on the altar, drumbeat measures, chest pressure. Moonlight moves minds, memory in the mortar, Stories in the smoke — constellations chart the order. I rewrite the map, break the cage, bend the metal, Torch in my palm, footsteps echo on the gravel. Multisyllable miracles, syllables like a stencil, Carving out a future from the past we mentally wrestle. Concrete: grandmother's chant, a river name repeated, Papercrowns burned, footprints where the elders seeded. Internal lines ripple, rhythm's a reminder — We carry their work, their wounds, their wonder like a binder. [Pre-Chorus ] We call, they answer; old songs, new manner. Whispers in the dark, steady like a planner. Close your eyes, feel the brand of their fire, Lead on the path — lift us higher. [Chorus ] Ancients in my veins, I rise. Wisdom lights my midnight skies. We move with the gods tonight. Hear the torch, follow the light. [Verse 2] Step in the cipher, night-spray of stars, Constellation compass, map across my scars. Syllable sabers, I slice through the static, Punchline prophet, cadence cinematic. We honor the legacy — drums and ledger, Ancestral ledger, every beat a tether. Rewrite the map, break the cage, set the lever, Pull history forward — hands steady, hands clever. I spit the ritual: incense, bead, and drum roll, A story for the young, a story for the old soul. Alliteration hits: midnight march, memory march, Syncopated steps leave prints across the arch. Concrete image: oil lamp, a worn walking stick, A childhood story, the way their laughter clicked. [Pre-Chorus (Variation)] We reach, they speak; horizon bends, dawn peeks. We stand, they kneel — the lineage speaks. Close your lips to learn, open wide to receive, Their heartbeat in the bass, in the breath we believe. [Chorus (Variation)] Ancients in my veins, I rise. Wisdom lights my midnight skies. We move with the gods tonight — Ancients’ charge, we claim our right. [Bridge — stripped] (Quiet) Drum low, low — let it breathe. Torch out, shadow forms, we grieve and we believe. A single voice echoes: "Remember, remain," Then the chorus returns like weather, like rain. [Verse 3 — Rap Bridge ] Call-and-response, soul to soul, I'm citing the code, Ancestor code cracked open, wisdom in the mode. Internal rhyme chains — pain, gain, remain the same, Flip the script like a coin, call the future by name. Punchlines precious: "I carry my past like a medal," Not heavy to drown — heavy to settle the pedal. We plant new seeds in old ground, watch the petals, Grow gardens of greatness from the ash of the rebels. Concrete ritual: we circle, we pass the cup, Toast to the night, sip to the lesson we sup. Lines syncopate — boom, clap, step back for the echo, We inherit the fight, inherit the calm, keep the tempo. [Final Chorus — Call & Response] Lead: Ancients in my… Cho
