lirik lagu flocabulary – history
a sumerian:
we’re chilling like it’s summer, in our sumerian city~states
inventing the arch, we put it on our city gates
we built the temples, ziggurats
we’re swimming when it’s very hot
in the tigris and euphrates, baby
in the tigris and euphrates, baby
in the tigris and euphrates, baby
each city is unique, we don’t have to wear a uniform
but when we’re writing it, we write it in cuneiform
sargon:
i roll through, invading them; i’m sargon the great
empire builder for the akkadians
hammurabi:
sorry sargon, your empire couldn’t last
i babble on these tracks, put babylon on the maps
i’m hammurabi, you can call me papi
made a strict code, ’cause your laws were sloppy
hammurabi’s code matches tooth for tooth
poke an eye out and get yours poked out too
an assyrian:
we’re the assyrians, assassins
seriously dangerous when we’re blasting, we took your men captive
burnt babylon, built a library instead
with that old book: epic of gilgamesh
what? we’re in that fertile crescent
sargon, you smell, need some herbal essence
i keep it quick, like a turtle’s breakfast
time’s up, better learn your lessons
nebuchadnezzar:
n0body ruled better, i’m nebuchadnezzar
me and my chaldeans are sharper than cheddar
we’re so holy like swiss cheese
one day my wife said, “neb, i miss trees
this city life is too hard for me
all is see is brown, baby, i need garden~green.”
so i built the hanging gardens of babylon for my girl
it’s one of the seven wonders of the world
a phoenician:
phoenicians: where we get our alphabet from
phoenicians: trading, and standing strong
phoenicians: we set sail on seas
built ships with ease, sail from sidon to sicily
the best craftsmen, we make the best crafts
we blow the most glass, we make the most cash
trade the glass and crafts, watch our paper stack
dye cloth, people like, “i got to have that.”
what? we’re in that fertile crescent
sargon, you smell, need some herbal essence
i keep it quick, like a turtle’s breakfast
time’s up, better learn your lessons
a hebrew:
you don’t have to barter, lydians made cents
’cause lydians printed coins like a mint
between egypt and babylon, we’re the hebrews
tribes and crews; today we’d be called jews
wandering the desert, avoiding bandits
till moses showed us ten commandments
divided into 12 tribes, we got lost
until king saul finally reunited us
next, david built jerusalem
in the bible, he defeats goliath, ya heard of him?
his son solomon built the temple, we weren’t saved
chaldeans invaded and made us slaves
what? we’re in that fertile crescent
sargon, you smell, need some herbal essence
i keep it quick, like a turtle’s breakfast
time’s up, better learn your lessons
