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 of sugar, that they won't leave each other alone Why do you have to do this, you've got to let us free
Why do you have to do this, you've got to set us free
Why do you have to do this, you've got to set us free
Why do you have to do this, you've got to 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 and the ants, they won't set each other
