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.
