White ants runnin'

Black ants crawlin'

Yella ants dreamin'

Brown ants longin'

All those people longin' to be free

Uhuru ant man bee uhuru ant man bee

All the ants in God's garden they can't get along

War still runnin' on

It's that one lump uh sugar

That they won't leave each other 'lone

Why do yuh have t' do this

You've got t' let us free

Why do yuh have t' do this

You've got t' set us free

Why do yuh have t' do this

You've got t'set us free

Why do yuh have t' do this

You've got t' set us free

Uhuru ant man bee uhuru ant man bee

Now the bee takes his honey Then he sets the flower free

But in God's garden only

Man 'n the ants

They won't set each other be
